JUDE HAKBOR PINNACLE ISLAND. 155 



Jude harbor, on the western side of the island, extends north- 

 eastward ^ mile, is free from shoals, and is entered northward of 

 Eound head, a hillock 120 feet high, that makes as an island. 



Eocks that cover extend southwestward 200 j^ards from Poplars 

 head, the northern entrance point, and a rock, with about 7 feet water 

 over it, bears 230°, nearly ^ mile from Round head. 



Anchorage, sheltered from winds between south and north, 

 through east, may be obtained in 10 to 12 fathoms, sand and mud 

 bottom, but a heavy swell rolls in with westerly winds. 



Duck rocks, that cover at high water, are two reefs, bold-to on the 

 northwestern side, lying in a line parallel to the shore northward of 

 the harbor and distant I mile from it. An islet 8 feet high marks 

 the northwestern end of Jude island, and a rock, on which the depth 

 is 10 feet, bears 217° from this islet. 



Middle island, the northeastern of a chain of islets lying south- 

 eastward of Jude island, is situated in a direction 77°, nearly 2 miles 

 from the southern point of that island. It is conical in shape, 80 

 feet high, and bold-to on the northeastern and northwestern sides. 



To pass inside this group, the channel between Jude and Oderin 

 islands may be used, but no attempt should be made to pass through 

 them except by those possessing local knowledge. 



Bing-hams shoal, with G fathoms water, bears 79°, distant 1% mile 

 from Middle island. 



Spicer rock, with 9 fathoms of water over it, bears 87°, distant 

 3i*o miles from Middle island. 



Harbor rocks, about 10 feet high, bear 204°, distant 1,100 yards 

 from Middle island ; there is deep water a short distance from them, 

 except on the eastern side, where, distant 200 yards, is a rock that 

 covers 2 feet at high water. There is a good channel between Middle 

 island and these rocks. 



Badger rock, with 3| fathoms of water over it, bears 128°, distant 

 1,700 yards from Harbor rocks, and breaks in bad weather. 



Clearing marks. — Western rocks open southward of Little Pin- 

 nacle, bearing 261°, leads eastward; the eastern end of Jude island 

 well open northeastward of Middle island, 337°, leads northeastward; 

 and well open southwestward, 341°, westward of Badger rock. 



Old Poe shoal, with 6 fathoms least water, bears 82°, distant 

 nearly li miles, and Point shoal, with 7 fathoms least water, bears 

 104°, distant If miles from Harbor rocks. Both these are said to 

 break in bad weather. 



,- Pinnacle island, about 30 feet high, bears 210°, distant | mile 

 from Harbor rocks, with a clear passage between them. Little Pin- 

 nacle, about 10 feet high, and Long rock, about 50 feet high, lie close 

 in a line bearing 206° from Pinnacle island, with no passage between 

 for a vessel.
