188 CREW POINT TO CAPE RAY. 



Mille harbor, on the northern side of the peninsula forming East 

 bay, is surrounded by a settlement. The harbor affords sheltered 

 anchorage to small craft in 3 to 4 fathoms water. 



Cape Mille, northward 1^ miles from Mille Harbor entrance, is 

 a high red cliff under a wooded hill, and Fortune bay runs 7 miles 

 east-northeastward from the caj)e, with a width of IJ miles to 1,600 

 yards. The bay immediately westward of the cape opens out to a 

 width of 3 miles. 



The shores of this part of the bay are high, with steep cliffs on 

 both sides, and at the head of Fortune bay the shore is steep-to and 

 free from shoals ; anchorage may be obtained here, in 7 to 9 fathoms 

 water, off a large settlement, with a conspicuous red house bearing 

 140°. 



Grand le Pierre harbor, on the northern side of the bay, at If 

 miles from the head, has good anchorage in 4 to 8 fathoms water, 

 and a clear approach. 



Tides. — It is high water, full and change, in (rrand le Pierre 

 harbor at 9h. 10m. ; springs rise 7 feet, neaps 5 feet. 



English harbor, with good anchorage in 4 to 10 fathoms water, 

 and sheltered except from southerly winds, is situated 4| miles west- 

 ward of Grand le Pierre ; rocks lie close off the entrance points, other- 

 wise the harbor is clear. There are two inner harbors, which can be 

 entered by small craft at high Avater, and there is a small village at 

 the head of the outer harbor. 



Little bay de I'Eau is about 1^ miles westward of English har- 

 bor. There are some islets and rocks off it. The entrance is 200 

 yards wide, but the harbor expands near its head, where there is 

 anchorage in 21 fathoms water.

 and affords sheltered anchorage to fishing craft in 12 feet water. 



Femme harbor is 3 miles westward of Little bay de I'Eau. Petti- 

 coat island and Smock island, with several small islets, lie at its 

 entrance. 



Femme shoal, on which the least Avater is 4^ fathoms, extends 

 southwestward | mile from the western point of Petticoat island. 



The passage into the harbor is westward and northward of Petti- 

 coat island, between it and Smock island, and thence northward 

 through the channel into the basin; it is about 150 yards wide. In 

 entering, as soon as the harbor channel begins to o])en, keep near 

 Smock island to avoid sunken rocks extending from the northeastern 

 part of Petticoat island, and Drew rock, which dries 3 feet, off the 

 eastern side of the harbor. When past Drew rock keep in mid- 

 channel till near the narrows at the head, where a buoy ought to be 

 placed beforehand on the eastern side of Druid rock, and steer 

 midway between the buoy and the eastern shore into the fine basin
