194 CREW POINT TO CAPE RAY. 



Vessels should not pass between the rock and the mainland, as a 

 shoal, which breaks with a moderate sea, extends about 300 yards 

 off the point northwestward of the rock. 



St. Johns island, at the entrance to St. Jjohns bay, is 380 feet 

 high ; a shoal with a depth of 2| fathoms over it lies 400 yards south- 

 ward of the middle of its southern side, and Kippins shoal, with 6^ 

 fathoms least water over it, bears 158°, distant 800 yards from the 

 southeastern point of the island. 



St. Johns head, bearing 302°, distant 3 miles from the south- 

 western end of Boxey Point promontory, is the southwestern end of 

 a promontory extending southeasterly 2f miles from the main; this 

 promontory rises to the height of 542 feet, and its coasts are cliffy. 



St. Johns bay, between these promontories, has anchorage in 

 moderate depth with offshore winds, the best being in its northern 

 part, where the bay narrows to a boat harbor. 



Gull and Shag rocks are on the northern side of St. Johns head 

 promontory; Shag rock is 51 feet high and f mile from the shore; 

 westward and southward of these rocks, and also within the 100 

 fathoms line which runs parallel to the promontory at about 1^ 

 miles northward of it, are several shoals which are marked on the 

 plan. 



Great bay de I'Eau. — Eastern head of Harbor Breton bears 286°, 

 distant 4y% miles from St. Johns head, and Great bay de I'Eau ex- 

 tends 10 miles northeastward from between them. Great bay de I'Eau 

 terminates in Old bay, and it affords no good anchorage except near 

 its head. Devils island lies in the bay at nearly 5 miles within St. 

 Johns head, and forms two channels, the western of which is barred 

 by a bank with 6 feet water over it ; the eastern channel is clear. 



Anchorage. — Little Devils island is situated about 200 yards off 

 the northern side of Devils island, and there is anchorage northward 

 of it in 11 fathoms, or westward of it in 6 fathoms. 



Little bay, situated 3^ miles in a northerly direction from St. 

 Johns head, has anchorage on its western side in 7 to 10 fathoms 

 water. A rock lies off the western entrance point, and the head 

 branches in two arms. 



River Head settlement is in the northwestern part of the bay, 

 and wood and water may be obtained there. 



Harbor Breton, situated westward of Eastern head, extends 

 north-northeastward for 9 miles, with Jerseyman harbor on the east- 

 ern shore and Southwest arm, or Harbor Breton proper, on the west- 

 ern shore at 2 miles witliin the entrance. 



Jerseyman harbor entrance is southward of Jerseyman head, a 

 remarkable red-cliffed promontory. This harbor has excellent anchor- 

 age for small vessels in 5 to 7 fathoms, but the entrance is barred by a 

 shoal with 19 feet on it at low water.
