POMLEY COVE jSTORTH BAY. 205 



Anchorage. — Anchorage for small vessels may be obtained at 

 the head of Northwest cove in 7 fathoms water, over mud. 



Pomley cove, 2 miles west-soiithwestward of Northwest cove, has 

 anchorage for small vessels only, in 6^ fathoms water, at 150 yards 

 from the shore. The head of the cove dries at low water. 



Goblin head, probably so named from its showing a resemblance 

 to the profile of a face on certain bearings, is a steep bluff sur- 

 mounted by a round hill 648 feet high. It forms the southern en- 

 trance point to Goblin bay, an indentation extending northeasterly 

 nearly 2 miles, with deep water throughout, and no anchorage. Two 

 small islets, 15 feet high, with rocks between, lie close to the south- 

 eastern shore of the ba3^ near the head. 



Middle Goblin bay is a narrow inlet extending northward about 

 1,200 yards from the outer part of Goblin bay, from which it is 

 separated by a round hill 520 feet high. Two rocks, one round and 

 the other square, and each 11 feet high, lie southward and southwest- 

 ward of the entrance, and a rock, that covers at high water, lies 60 

 yards southeastward of the round rock. 



This bay is not suitable for large vessels, as a rock, with 6 feet water 

 over it, lies in the middle, but small craft pass on either side of the 

 rock, in .3 fathoms of water, and anchor inside it in 5 to 10 fathoms. 



Little Goblin bay, westward of Middle Goblin bay and separated 

 from it by a hill 503 feet high, being encumbered with rocks, is only 

 suitable for boats. 



Raymond island, northward 2 miles from the northern point 

 of Goblin head and separated from the mainland by Raymond pas- 

 sage, a channel 100 yards wide, is 265 feet high. 



East bay, a little more than 6 miles in length, contains depths 

 ranging from 30 to 100 fathoms as far in as the eastern entrance 

 point of Northwest cove, a distance of about 2| miles. A small islet, 

 15 feet high, is joined at low water to the eastern shore of the north- 

 eastern arm opposite the eastern entrance point of Northwest cove, 

 and a few rocks lie close southwestward of that islet. 



Anchorag-e. — There is anchorage in 7^ fathoms water, northward 

 of the islet, or in less depths for small vessels farther eastward, the 

 water shoaling gradually to the head. 



Northwest cove, the northern arm, is deep and unsuitable for 

 anchorage except in small vessels, which anchor in 7 fathoms water 

 200 yards from the head. 



Stone point is the southern end of the land dividing East bay 

 'from North bay. and it rises to a small conical hill 102 feet high under 

 other round hills northwestward of it. 



North bay extends in a northerly direction for 7^ miles, and is 

 clear of shoals till near its head. Its shores are bold, in many places
