THKEE ISLANDS GRAND BRUIT HARBOR. 241 



Three islands, westward about 2 miles from Cinq Cerf islets, 

 are a cluster of three islands with two lower islets eastward of them, 

 and several rocks and shoals around. The southernmost and highest 

 is a round gray rock 46 feet high. Pigeon islet, bearing 268°, leads 

 southward of the shoals off these islands. 



Bad Neighbor rock, bearing 168°, distant IJ miles from the 

 southernmost of the Three islands, is nearly awash at low water. 



Clearing marks. — Eoti Colombier in line with Offer islet, bear- 

 ing 268°, leads southward; the Highland of Grand Bruit well open 

 eastward of the southern of Three islands, bearing 347°, leads close 

 eastward; and open westward of that island, bearing 351°, leads close 

 westward of this rock. 



Chance rock, bearing 256°, distant 700 yards from Bad Neighbor, 

 has 4f fathoms of water over it. 



The Highland of Grand Bruit rises in a steep cliff to the height 

 of 1,012 feet, and on it there is a cairn of stones, at about 23^0 miles 

 north-northeastward of Grand Bruit harbor. It is very remarkable, 

 and an excellent landmark. Eocky and serrated ranges extend inland 

 from it for several miles. 



A cascade falls over the hills at nearly 1 mile westward of the high 

 land. 



Grand Bruit harbor, I^l miles westward from Three islands, is 

 only 200 yards wide, but it aff'ords excellent sheltered anchorage for 

 small vessels in 7 fathoms water. The houses of the village sur- 

 rounding the harbor, a white schoolhouse on the slope of the hill 

 above, and the large waterfall at the head of the harbor are visible 

 from seaward. A line of rocky patches extends southeastward 450 

 yards from the southwestern end of the island forming the eastern 

 entrance point of the harbor, and there is a least depth of 13 feet of 

 water over them. 



The Smoker, 1,200 yards southeastward from the eastern entrance 

 point of the harbor, is an isolated rock 10 feet high. Two patches, 

 with 2f and 3 fathoms of water over them, respectively, lie in a direc- 

 tion 49°, within 600 yards from this rock. 



A group of islands lies southward of the entrance to the harbor. 

 Southeast island of this group is a gray bare islet 40 feet high, and 

 White island at the northern end is a steep round islet 35 feet high. 

 Harbor island, the largest of the group, has two boat coves, one on 

 either side of a narrow neck of land in the middle of the island. It 

 falls in gray cliff from its southern summit 105 feet high. Duck 

 island shelters the northern boat cove, and rocks extend 200 yards 

 from its northwestern end. Pigeon islet, the northwestern of the 

 group, is a rugged rock 24 feet high.
