204 CREW POINT TO CAPE RAY. 



May cove, northward of May head, the southeastern point of Bois 

 island, affords anchorage in 7^ fathoms water, and is clear except 

 that a shoal extends 150 yards northward from May head, and the 

 head of the cove dries at low water. 



A shoal, with 3| fathoms water over it, bears 85°, distant 300 yards 

 from May head. 



Snooks Harbor entrance is about SyV miles westward of May 

 head, and the harbor, being encumbered with rocks, is suitable for 

 boats only. 



Big Copper head, the southwestern end of Bois island, is a red- 

 dish yellow cliff, 340 feet high. Eastward of it is a cove with a 

 shingle beach, and off the cove is a rock that covers at high water, 

 distant nearly 200 yards from the shore. 



Roti bay is in the mainland, and its entrance is ^ mile northward 

 of Dawson passage. The bay extends northwestward 2 miles, and 

 thence an arm continues southwestward for about ^ mile. 



A rock, that uncovers 2 feet at low water, lies nearly in mid- 

 channel, 1,400 yards northwestward from the entrance, and is joined 

 by a bar, with 5^ fathoms water over it, to the eastern shore. 



There is no convenient passage westward of the rock, but the 

 western end of Riches island completely open east of the western 

 entrance point, bearing 144°, will lead east of the rock. 



Shoal water extends 150 yards from the southern entrance point 

 of the arm at the head, and also a short distance from the northern 

 shore, leaving a passage only 150 yards wide, with a depth of 4 

 fathoms, to that arm. 



Anchorage. — Anchorage may be obtained in from 14 to 17 fathoms 

 water, at ^ mile within the entrance, or northward of the rock, in 

 the same depths. 



Water. — Water may be procured from the streams in the north- 

 western arm or from the bight westward of the rock in the bay. 



Lampidoes passage, the channel north of Bois island, has deep 

 water throughout. The northern shore rises precipitously in high 

 cliffs, and is indented by one large and several small coves. 



During northwesterly and southeasterly winds violent squalls 

 sweep through this passage, and vessels should then avoid it. 



Rock. — A rock, with 5 feet of water on it, lies 100 yards from the 

 shore, bearing 33°, distant ^ mile from Western head, the south- 

 western point of entrance to Lampidoes passage, 



Margery cove, at 2J miles west-southwestward of Roti bay en- 

 trance and eastward of Margery head, a steep cliff 500 feet high, is 

 formed by a small projection 38 feet high, and extends about 200 

 yards in a westerly direction. 



Northwest cove, on the northern shore near the middle of the 

 passage, extends north-northeastward f mile.
