precipitous, and the water is deep. Anchorage can be obtained onlj'' 

 at the following' mentioned places. 



First brook, a small indentation on the eastern short at 1^ miles 

 within the entrance, affords anchorage for small vessels only, in 7 to 

 11 fathoms water. 



Second Brook cove, 2 miles farther in on the same shore, has no 

 anchorage. 



Telegraph station. — A telegraph station of the Anglo-American 

 Company stands on a low point near the head of the bay at a little 

 more than ^ mile from Indian point, which is on the eastern shore at 

 3j% miles within the northern entrance point of Second Brook cove. 



Indian point. — Anchorage can be obtained from 600 yards below 

 Indian point and in mid-channel, in 6^ fathoms water, to abreast that 

 point, in 4^ fathoms water. The bank falls rapidly southward from 

 a depth of 6| to 46 fathoms. 



Small vessels proceed as far as Dogberry rock, a small islet 4 feet 

 high, joined to the eastern shore at 600 yards above Indian point; 

 there is a good salmon and sea trout riA^er at the head of the bay, and 

 deer frequent the vicinity. 



Water can be taken from several brooks flowing into the bay on 

 each side, near the head. A large stream flows into the head, west- 

 ward of the telegraph station, but it is completely obstructed by 

 bowlders at low water. 



North Bay head, the western entrance point, rises in cliffs to the 

 height of 600 feet, and there is a hill 1,045 feet high at f mile north- 

 ward of it. On the southwestern side of the head is a conspicuous 

 white stripe. 



Cul-de-sac, a small basin close westward of North Bay head, con- 

 tains anchorage for small vessels in 4 to 6 fathoms water, but the 

 entrance is only 80 yards wide with a depth of 3 fathoms in it. 



Sugarloaf island. — Cul-de-sac point bears south westward, distant 

 x% mile from North Bay head, and Sugarloaf point | mile farther 

 southwestward. Sugarloaf island, close off the point, rises to a con- 

 ical hill 264 feet high. 



There is a passage for boats between it and the point, A rock, 

 with 6 feet water on it, lies close to the western end of the island. 



Great Cuiller bay, the entrance of which is between Sugarloaf 

 and Great Cuiller point, bearing 168°, distant 800 yards from the 

 eastern end of the island, extends westward 1| miles, narrowing 

 gradually to its head. 



A rock, awash at high water, lies in Great Cuiller bay at 1,700' 

 yards westward of Great Cuiller point and nearly 200 yards off the 

 southern shore, and a sunken rock lies 100 yards eastward of it. The 

 passages, both northward and southward of these rocks, are clear; 

 the southern is less than 100 yards, while the northern is 250 yards 

 in width.
