BRENT COVE EICHAEDS HARBOR. 211 



The head of Fjicheux bay, southward of the narrows, affords 

 anchorage in 6 to 10 fathoms water, the hitter depth being | mile 

 distant. Southward of that depth the soundings increase suddenly 

 to 40 fathoms. 



Brent cove, on the western shore and opposite to Allan cove, ex- 

 tends 1,400 yards westward, but shoal water and ground that uncovers 

 at low water extend 600 yards from the head. 



This cove affords good anchorage in 6 to 10 fathoms water, close 

 within the entrance points, but the plateau falls suddenly eastward 

 to a depth of 34 fathoms. 



Black Otter rub, a small projection, 10 feet high, situated on the 

 western shore at about | mile southward of the cove, is a good mark. 



Dennis arm, on the western shore at 2f miles within the entrance, 

 is 1 mile long and 150 yards broad; it affords good anchorage for 

 small vessels in 7 to 9 fathoms water. The northern shore is bold-to, 

 but off the southern side there is a fringe of foul ground that dries 

 at low water, and the head dries for 200 yards from the tree line. 



Warren cove, on the western shore of Facheux bay at 1^ miles 

 from the entrance, affords anchorage for small vessels onl}'^, in 8 

 fathoms water, and close to the shore. A conspicuous white stripe 

 shows on the cliff on the northern side of the cove. 



Facheux harbor, separated from Warren cove by a bare prom- 

 ontory, 167 feet high, that terminates in low rocky points, is suitable 

 for boats only. 



Dragon bay extends west-northwestward for about 3 miles; it is 

 deep, and there is only anchorage for small vessels in the narrow 

 arm at its head. 



A rock lies 100 yards distant from the shore, immediatel}^ eastward 

 of a small projection on the northern shore, westward of which is a 

 waterfall. 



Muddy hole is a small boat harbor nearly one mile westward of 

 Dragon bay. There is a depth of 8 feet at high water in its entrance, 

 but there is a rock that uncovers in the middle, and local knowledge 

 is necessary to avoid it. Boats anchor at the head of the harbor. 



Richards harbor is situated about 3 miles westward of Dragon 

 bay. The entrance passes between precipitous cliffs, on the western 

 side, and low points under cliff on the eastern side. 



For 600 yards within the entrance the harbor trends northward, 

 it then turns more eastward for a farther distance of 600 yards, with 

 a breadth of 400 yards to the head. The turning point on the south- 

 ern shore is a small islet, 12 feet high, joined to the mainland at low 

 water. Sunken rocks lie a short distance southwestward of this islet. 



Anchorag'e. — This harbor is available for temporary anchorage 

 only, as the depths vary from 20 to 24 fathoms, with indifferent hold-
