Clearing mark. — The southwestern end of Great isle of Valen, 

 open northeastward of Grandy point, bearing 354°, leads eastward of 

 Brook rock. 



Long" point, a narrow promontory 89 feet high, extends 250 yards 

 from the coast at If miles south of Rocky cove. Some rugged rocks, 

 the lowest of which covers at high water, lie north of the point, and 

 shelter a small cove with a beach of shingle. 



Patrick island, 27 feet high and bare, is 1,300 yards southwest- 

 ward of Long point; another small islet lies close east of it, and 

 sunken rocks that break in ordinary weather extend east and south 

 for a distance of 200 yards from Patrick island. This island is the 

 dividing point of two coves, and the turning point of the entrance 

 to Presque harbor. In the northern of the two coves is a rock that 

 dries 1 foot at low water. 



Presque harbor, 5 miles long and 1,200 yards wide, has many 

 rocks in its entrance, which is consequently intricate, but within the 

 entrance there is generally a great depth of water. The passage 

 between the inner rocks at the entrance is onh^ 100 yards wide.

Goat island, situated on the northeastern side of the entrance to 

 Presque, and separated by a clear channel 200 feet wide from the 

 eastern shore, is covered with moss, and has a flat summit, surmounted 

 by a small tuft, 108 feet high. 



Little Goat islands are two square islands and a small rock lying 

 close south-southwestward of Goat island, with shoal water extending 

 a short distance in the same line to the southward. A cluster of rocks
