FOX ISLAND RICHES ISLAND. 201 



Fox island, northwestward | mile from Raymond point, is 370 

 feet high : a rock 6 feet high lies close to its western end, and in 

 several places there are small rocks close off the island. 



Dollond bight, situated 3 miles northeastward of Brimball head, 

 which bears 88°. distant lj*'o miles from Raymond point, affords open 

 anchorage in 13 to -20 fathoms water. 



Taylor Island rocks extend southward 100 yards from a small islet 

 at the northern point of Dollond bight, but there are no other shoals. 



Simmonds barasway, immediately northwestward of Dollond 

 bight, shoals gradually from the depth of 15 fathoms in the entrance 

 to the narrows at the head, where it dries at low water. 



Anchorag'e. — There is anchorage in 10 fathoms water just inside 

 the entrance, and for small vessels in less depths farther in. 



Cape Mark is the western end of a narrow, wooded promontory 

 157 to 197 feet in height, which forms the northern side of Simmonds 

 barasway. 



Gull cove, a small indentation at the northeastern end of the north- 

 ern side of the promontory, affords anchorage for small craft in 7 

 fathoms water. 



Barasway de Cerf, about 1,600 yards eastward of Gull cove, is 

 shoal and suitable for boats only. 



Sunken rocks extend ^ mile northward of Barasway de Cerf en- 

 trance; the southern side of Bois island open northwestward of 

 Ingram point, between Gull cove and the Barasway, bearing 23-1°, 

 leads northwestward of them. 



Little river, the entrance of which bears 50°, distant 1^ miles 

 from Ingram point, is a narrow arm of the sea expanding into a large 

 basin at its head, and again contracting into an arm that extends 

 northward ; it is suitable for small vessels only, as a depth of no more 

 than 13 feet can be carried in, and the tidal streams attain a rate of 3 

 knots an hour. 



A wooded islet, 38 feet high, from which a reef extends northeast- 

 ward to about 50 yards from the southern shore, divides the narrow 

 arm into two channels ; the northern is shallow, and a rock that covers 

 lies in the middle, but the southern is practicable by keeping close to 

 the shore till past the reef, when a mid-channel course leads to the 

 basin. 



Arran back cove, west of the basin, is shallow, and the head of the 

 basin is almost dry at low water. 



Riches island, 433 feet high, situated westward ^ mile from Little 

 river entrance, is nearly connected to the mainland eastward of it by 

 islets and reefs. 



Sunken rocks lie 250 yards off its eastern end, and Seal rocks, that 

 are awash at high water, lie 150 yards off its southeastern side.
