218 CREW POINT TO CAPE EAY. 



West point of la Hune bay is the southern end of a peninsula 

 rising- to a remarkable cone 697 feet high, its coasts iJeing rugged 

 cliffs seawards and steejo bluifs in la Hune bay; it is joined to the 

 mainland by a shingle beach, which is said to have subsided consider- 

 ably since 1873. 



Two rocks, the southern with 9 feet water over it and 18 feet 

 fathoms close-to, extend 250 yards southward of West point. 



Tides. — It is high water, full and change, in la Hune bay at 

 8h. 40m. ; springs rise 6^- feet, neaps 4J feet. 



Ice. — La Hune bay freezes over about December 1, and the ice 

 disappears by April 1 ; the ice breaks up easily, and is no obstacle to 

 vessels, which come and go all the year. In 1885 field ice arrived in 

 February and left on April 1. 



Long point juts out south-southwestward from the peninsula 

 northwestward of the entrance of la Hune bay, and it bears 277°, 

 distant 900 yards from West point. 



Long Point shoal, bearing 276°. distant 600 yards from Long 

 point, has a depth of 10 feet over it. The northeastern Gulch Cove 

 island, open southward of Cape island, bearing 294°, leads nearly 

 200 3^ards southward of this shoal. 



Cape island, separated from the Avestern point of the peninsula 

 northwestward of la Hune bay entrance by a channel 400 yards wide, 

 in the middle of which is a shoal with 3^ fathoms of water over it, is 

 267 feet high, flat and rugged. 



La Hune harbor, an inlet of the main northeastward of Cape 

 island, is open and has 8 to 11 fathoms water, but not shelter. The 

 fishing craft belonging to the settlement moor under a cliff at the 

 head of the harbor, where neither wind nor sea reaches them even in 

 winter. 



Cape rocks, bearing 276°, distant 4f miles from cape la Hune, are 

 a cluster of bare black islets, the highest at the southern end being 

 30 feet high. 



Shoal and uneven ground surrounds Cape rocks for 1^ miles, except 

 to the southward, where the water deepens suddenly to 50 fathoms at 

 the distance of 200 yards. 



Gulch cove, northwestward, distant 5^ miles from Cape island, 

 extends northward 600 yards and has anchorage for a small vessel 

 in 5 to 7 fathoms of water, but with southerly winds a heavy sea rolls 

 in. The hills fall almost perpendicularly on each side of the cove to 

 a narrow, low neck of land that separates it from Southeast arm of 

 Little river. 



Gulch Cove islands, two in number and lying nearly east and 

 west, 500 yards from each other, are small and rocky; the western 

 and higher, 95 feet high, bears 177°, distant 1^ miles from Gulch 

 cove entrance. Numerous rocks surround them; the western rock.
