220 CREW POIKT TO CAPE BAY. 



Little River bank. — Eastern rock, bearing 218°, distant 3;^ miles 

 from Little River rocks, and on the southeastern part of Little River 

 bank, has 3^ fathoms of water over it. From this rock uneven 

 ground extends northwestward 2^ miles to Big shoal, a head on which 

 the depth is 7 fathoms, near the northwestern end of the bank. The 

 bottom is rocky. 



Bay de Vieux, or Old Man bay, the entrance of which is 3^ miles 

 west-northwestward of Little river, extends northward 6 miles, with a 

 general width of ^ mile. The water is deep. 



A rock, awash at high water, lies quite close to the western shore at 

 l^Q miles within West point. 



Denny island, in the eastern part of the bay at 1 mile within 

 East point, is 335 feet high and steep-to, except off its northwestern 

 side, where there is a rock with 1 foot water over it. 



Dog cove, eastward of Denny island, is 150 yards wide, but there 

 is good anchorage for small craft in 8 fathoms water near its head. 



The Nook, an inlet on the eastern side of the bay, is 1,450 yards 

 long, 300 yards broad, and it affords anchorage for small craft at its 

 head in 9 to 12 fathoms water. 



The head of bay de Vieux, which is about 600 yards wide and shoals 

 gradually to the shore, affords anchorage in 7 to 12 fathoms water 

 within ^ mile of its northern end. 



Water. — Several streams run into the head of the bay. 



Cobbett or Mosquito harbor, 1^ miles westward of West point 

 of bay de Vieux, is a basin nearly 1 mile long in an easterly and west- 

 erly direction, with an average width of 450 yards, approached 

 through a channel 100 yards wide. 



It is perfectly sheltered, but the water is 20 to 35 fathoms deep in 

 its greater part, and anchorage even for small craft can only be 

 obtained in 12 fathoms water, near its western end, off a cove where 

 there are a few houses. A rock lies about 50 yards off the southern 

 side of this cove. 



East Black rock, near the eastern entrance point of Cobbett har- 

 bor and bearing 118°, distant 500 yards from White point, the west- 

 ern entrance point, is 5 feet high ; two rocks, awash at low water, lie 

 off it, the outer being distant nearly 200 yards to the southeastward. 



West Black rock, bearing 249", distant j% mile from East Black 

 rock, is awash at high water; several islets and rocks lie northwest- 

 ward of it and between it and Fox island, which space should not be 

 used for navigation. 



Fox island. If miles westward from White point, is 310 feet high, 

 rugged and faced by cliffs, and separated from: the mainland by a 

 channel 135 yards wide, in the western part of which is good anchor- 

 age for small craft.
