222 CREW POINT TO CAPE RAY. 



Anchorage. — The depth of water in the bay decreases suddenly 

 northward of Bald point to 13 fathoms and then shoals gradually. 

 Large vessels anchor in 8 fathoms, with Blow-me-down point bear- 

 ing 208°, distant 800 yards, perfectly sheltered, with good holding 

 ground. 



Northwest brook, northward | mile from Blow-me-down point, 

 is a conspicuous waterfall and an excellent watering place. A shoal, 

 with 3 fathoms least water over it, lies 500 yards from it, and the 

 water then shoals gradually to the head of the bay. 



Telegraph station. — There is a telegraph station at the head of 

 the bay. 



Turks and "Woody islands lie off the western entrance point of 

 Wliite Bear bay, and are almost connected to it by shoal water. 

 Woody island, 213 feet high, is very conspicuous from the dark color 

 of its foliage and conical shape. 



White island, 600 yards westward of Woody island, is 138 feet 

 high, and from its color shoAvs in contrast to Woody island. 



Black rock, bearing 208°, distant 950 yards from White island, 

 is 8 feet high, and clear except on its eastern side. Black Sunker, 

 bearing 84°, distant 335 yards from Black rock, has 1 foot water over 

 it, and is the western end of a bank of shoal ground stretching east- 

 ward 500 yards from it. 



Directions. — To enter AYhite Bear bay from the westward, make 

 Wiite island, approach it on an easterly bearing, and keep in mid- 

 channel between that island and Black rock, and thence between the 

 mainland and the rocks and shoal water, which extend northwest- 

 ward about 600 yards from the northwestern side of Deer island. 



Ramea islands, the eastern end of which lies southward, distant 

 3 miles from Bear head of AVhite Bear bay, consist of two large 

 islands, with numerous smaller islands, islets, rocks, and shoals to 

 the southward and westward of them. 



Great island, the eastern and largest of the group, is If miles 

 long in an easterly and westerly direction and 1,200 Awards broad; its 

 northern coast is bold and slopes abruptly from rugged hills that 

 present an irregular outline. Gull hill, the highest of these hills, is 

 427 feet high, flat topped, and has a steep fall on its eastern side that 

 makes it conspicuous on northerW bearings. 



Numerous rocks and shoals on the southern side of Great island 

 prevent the passage to Eastern harbor being taken without local 

 knowledge. 



Eastern harbor is a small cove 950 yards westward from Bonnels 

 point (the southeastern point of Great island) ; there is a rock awash 

 at low water in mid-channel at its entrance, and 2 fathoms water 

 at its head, where fishing craft obtain sheltered anchorage.
