LITTLE GUT BAEASWAY POINT. 235 



feet high. The rocks about this head are white, and close off it is a 

 rock, awash at high water, with a depth of 4 fathoms at a short dis- 

 tance seaward of it. 



Little Gut, northward 700 yards from Little Gut head, was an 

 entrance to Grandy brook, but it is now closed. 



Grandy brook is an arm of the sea extending from Little Gut 2^ 

 miles inland to the fresh-water brook at the head. 



The land eastward of Grandy brook consists of conical hills and 

 mounds, partially covered with stunted trees or whitened by former 

 fires, while that westward of the brook consists of ranges of hills with 

 cliff-faced summits and smooth, mossy slopes. 



Worman head, the northern entrance point of Little Gut, is a 

 bare-topped mound 93 feet high, with a spit of shingle extending 

 from its base into Little Gut. Westward of this head a long shingle 

 beach, 10 feet high, with a grassy mound as its western end and two 

 mounds at short distances eastward of that end, forms the shore of 

 Barasway bay and separates it from Big Barasway, a large shoal 

 inland bay containing several islands. The entrance to Big Barasway 

 at the western end of the beach is encumbered by rocks, and it is 

 rarely used even by local small craft. 



Barasway bay, between Cornelius island and Barasway point, 

 that lies 4^ miles to the westward, has general depths of 13 to 17 

 fathoms across its mouth, but islets, rocks, and foul ground make the 

 bay useless as an anchorage, and in heavy weather it appears a mass 

 of breakers. 



Mile rocks, the highest of which bears 84°, distant l^(j miles from 

 Little Gut head and is 14 feet high, with rocks awash and below 

 water all around, occupy an area 1,400 j^ards long in an easterly and 

 westerly direction, and about 800 yards broad. 



A rock, bearing 94°, distant 1,650 yards from the highest Mile rock, 

 has 6 feet of water over it, and a shoal, bearing 52°, distant 1,400 

 yards from the same Mile rock, has 7 feet of water over it. 



The Juniper, bearing 116°, distant 1^ miles from Barasway point, 

 is awash at low water, and the sea always breaks on it; and a shoal, 

 with 18 feet water over it, bears 72°, nearly 800 yards from the 

 Jumper. 



Doctor harbor, with the small white Doctor island in its entrance, 

 is an inlet extending 600 yards in a northwesterly direction into the 

 southeastern side of Barasway Point promontory. It is available for 

 small vessels only. 



Barasway point is the southwestern end of a low promontorj^ 

 extending from the slopes of Father Hughes hill, 398 feet high, which 

 is situated l^^ miles northward from the point and appears as a 

 cone from seaward; from it a flat range of hills stretches to the in- 

 terior. The moss and stunted growth that cover this hill are darker
