154 CAPE RACE TO CREW POINT. 



Communication. — The steamer from Placentia calls at Oderin 

 harbor weekly. 



The southern shore of Oderin island is composed of steep cliffs 

 and is foul for 200 yards distant. Lance Cove head, the eastern 

 extreme of that shore, is a flat-topped bluff 215 feet high that also 

 overlooks the harbor. Kocks extend 200 yards from both bills of 

 this head. 



Lance cove, an open bay north of the head, has shingle beaches 

 separated by spurs of red cliff. A rock awash at low water lies 

 just off the south point of the cove. 



White rock, with 6 fathoms of water on it, is the shoalest part 

 of a bank extending nearh^ ^ mile from Lance Cove head. 



Patrick island, 110 feet high, lies close to the southwestern point 

 of Oderin island, and is wedge shaped, with dark cliffs to the south- 

 Avard and grassy slopes to the northward. 



Crow island, 201 feet high, is wooded and conical, with dark cliffs 

 lying close to the western side of Patrick island. Patrick rocks, 13 

 feet high, are a ledge of black rocks extending southwestward 350 

 yards from Crow island. 



Fox island, with a wooded summit about 100 feet high and red- 

 dish cliffs, lies northwestward of Crow island, and is steep-to on the 

 northern side. There is no passage for vessels between these islands. 



Jude island, 435 feet high, 2i- miles long and 2 miles wide at the 

 northern extremity, narrowing irregularly to a point at the southern 

 extreme, lies southward of Oderin island and is separated from it by 

 a clear channel nearly ^ mile wide, which should be taken when 

 passing inshore of the group. 



The northern coast is of bold cliff with some curious red stripes 

 near its eastern end, off which is Gull island, a gray rock 48 feet 

 high, and bold-to. The eastern shore is also nearly bold-to, consist- 

 ing of steep cliffs round Eastern cove, a curve in the coast line filled 

 with islets and rocks fronting shingle beaches. 



Cape Jude, a remarkable headland, lies about 1,400 yards from the 

 southern end of the eastern shore, and is a round-topped hill 417 feet 

 high, falling in a nearly perpendicular cliff to the sea. A sharp hill, 

 400 feet high, with a bowlder on its top, is situated just southwest- 

 ward of it. 



A rock, with 4 feet water over it, bears 167°, distant 750 yards from 

 the southern point of the island. 



Ha}' cove. 1,500 yards wide and 600 yards deep, lies northwestward 

 of the southern point and affords anchorage, sheltered from easterly 

 winds, in 9 to 10 fathoms water, sand bottom. At the bottom of this 

 cove is a dark cliffy head with a shingle beach on each side. A rock 

 that covers 2 feet lies off Green point, a low projection north of the 

 cove, and a rock with 8 feet water bears 296°, distant 550 yards from 

 the same point.
