NOKTHWEST HEAD MAHANY COVE. 123 



Northwest head, on the southern side of the entrance, is a bold 

 cliff rising to a round wooded hill, 256 feet high. A reef, that dries 

 at low water, extends 150 yards eastward; and a rock, that dries 

 2 feet, lies close northward of this head. 



A rock that covers lies close to the eastern point of the cove, at 

 the head, and shoal water fringes the north shore of that point. 

 With these exceptions the shores of Northwest arm are steep-to. 



Anchorag'e. — There is anchorage anywhere in the arm in depths 

 of 16 to 18 fathoms, or for small vessels in the cove at the head in 

 6 to 8 fathoms. 



Southwest head is a bold bluff 175 feet high, with a small islet 

 joined to the eastern side. 



Southwest arm is 1,300 yards long and 600 yards wide between 

 Southwest head and the southern shore; but at TOO yards within the 

 entrance it is narrowed to 300 yards by Jigging Cove head. A rock, 

 with 13 feet water over it, lies 200 yards from the northwestern shore, 

 but the southeastern side is clear. 



Coast. — The coast from Clatise Harbor head trends southward 

 for ^ mile to ^'\'liite point, so named from the color of a small islet 

 that forms it ; from ^Vhite point the coast trends southward 1^ miles 

 to Oliver cove. A few white houses stand on the shores of the cove 

 between White point and Clatise Harbor head. Collins rock, 2 feet 

 high, lies close to the shore ^ mile south of White point; and Red- 

 land, a reddish cliff, south of a beach of shingle through which a 

 stream runs, is situated L200 yards south of Collins rock. 



Oliver cove, formed by a beach of shingle, lies west-southwestward 

 2 miles from Clatise Harbor head. Shoal water extends 100 yards 

 from the beach, but beyond that there is anchorage for small vessels 

 in 10 fathoms water, sheltered from offshore winds. There is a road 

 from this cove to the head of Presque harbor, about 1 mile distant, 

 near which, at about midway, is the Eoman Catholic church. 



Oliver rock, small and 12 feet high, lies close to the bluff south- 

 ward of this cove, down to which Calvary hill slopes from an eleva- 

 tion of 423 feet. 



Mahany cove lies southward of the bluff', and some rocks extend 

 100 yards from its southern shore. A deep ravine encircles Calvary 

 hill, and through it passes the road from this cove to the church. 



The coast from this to Grandy point is free from danger beyond 

 100 yards, and is surmounted by a serrated ridge, with several sharp 

 peaks ranging from 526 to 550 feet in height. 



Grrandmother rocks are two groups of islets, separated by a 

 clear channel 334 yards wide. The southern group contains ihe 

 highest islet, which is 30 feet above high water, surrounded hj nu- 

 merous rocks, and bears 67°, distant 1^ miles from the north extreme 

 of ereat isle of Valen.
