BAY DE LOUP KINGS HARBOR. 225 



This island divides a deep bay into two parts, Northeast arm, which 

 extends Ij miles, and Northwest arm, 1| miles. 



Northeast arm has deep water and affords no shelter for 1 mile 

 within its entrance; then a channel 50 yards wide leads to an inner 

 basin, named Doctor harbor, 750 yards long and 150 ^^.rds wide, with 

 sheltered anchorage for small craft in 4 to 5 fathoms water. 



Red Island harbor, a widening of the channel separating the island 

 from the mainland, is 500 yards long and 200 yards broad ; it can h& 

 entered only from the eastward through a channel 30 yards wide, and 

 it is suitable for fishing craft. 



Northwest arm. — Cross rocks narrow the channel between theni 

 and Eed island, at ^ mile within the entrance of the arm, to 200 yards^ 

 with a depth of 5| fathoms ; inside these rocks there is anchorage for 

 small craft in 8 to 9 fathoms water, good holding ground. 



"Western point of Northwest arm is the southern end of a head- 

 land consisting of a series of rocW huminocks faced by cliffs on the 

 seaboard. Western Point rock, bearing 205°, distant 265 yards from 

 the point, has 13 feet of water over it. 



White Island shoal, bearing 256°, distant 800 yards from West- 

 ern point, has of fathoms over it, and deep water close-to. 



Bay de Loup point, westward 1^ miles from Western point, is 

 the eastern entrance point of bay cle Loup, and the southern end of 

 an island TOO yards long in a northerly and southerly direction, and 

 223 feet high, connected at low water with a narrow peninsula. 

 Between Western point and Bay de Loup point is a deep bay that 

 should not be entered within the line of the points. The coast is- 

 rugged and fringed by cliffy islets and rocks. 



Bay de Loup rock, 350 yards from Bay de Loup point, has 7 feet 

 water over it. 



Bay de Loup, or Wolf bay, extends northeastward 2f miles fronn 

 its entrance between Bay de Loup point and Kings Head point, situ- 

 ated northwestward, about 1,700 yards. The shores of the bay are 

 precipitous, with dee}:) water close-to, and there is no anchorage until 

 Blow-me-down, a steep bluff. 513 feet high, on the northern shore at 

 about f mile from the head, is passed, when there is good shelter in 

 10 fathoms water, and the depth gradually decreases to 4^ fathoms, 

 toward the head. The most convenient anchorage is off the houses 

 at the mouth of Seal brook, a small stream situated northeastward 

 about 800 yards from Blow-me-down.
