248 CREW POINT TO CAPE RAY. 



close to the western shore, and just northward of Pillar rock, 35 

 feet high. Berry point, the western entrance point, is a low penin- 

 sula of red clitf with a small rock above water close to its southern 

 side. 



Seal islands are a group off Berry point. 



Big Seal island rises to a sharp pointed hill 130 feet high, and is 

 generally covered with grass and moss. Round island, close north- 

 westward of it, is a sharp cone about TO feet high, and Offer Seal 

 island, close southwestward of Big Seal island, is 54 feet high, with 

 Black rock, 6 feet high, 200 yards off its southern side. 



Eocks extend from Offer Seal island except on its northern side, 

 and Edge of Ground shoal, bearing 143°, distant 800 yards from its 

 eastern point, has 15 feet water over it. 



Gob rock, northeastward 100 yards from the northeastern end of 

 Big Seal island, is awash at low water. Sunken rocks fringe the 

 northern coasts of Big Seal and Round islands, and a rock, awash 

 at low water, lies northeastward 150 yards from the northeastern end 

 of Round island. 



Directions. — Proceeding southward and westward from Garia 

 bay, having Bell rock in line with the northern entrance point of 

 Garia harbor, when Black George head opens southeastward of Black 

 rock, southward of Deer island, bearing 39°, keep it so astern until 

 Seal Island head is in line with the northern end of Offer Seal island, 

 bearing 291°, to clear Wreck Island sunkers and Offer Gob rock, 

 Keep this mark on until the western entrance point of Garia bay is 

 between the two hummocks of Wreck island, bearing 26°, which 

 mark leads westward of Offer Gob rock. For Little Garia bay or 

 Seal islands, the course is then direct, avoiding the rocks off Seal 

 islands. 



The coast' westward of Seal islands is bordered by rocks and 

 shoals, and except with local knowledge, vessels should not close the 

 land northward of the line of the summit of AVreck island in line 

 with Black rock of Offer Seal island, bearing 71°. 

 . Seal Island head, southwestward about 600 yards from Round 

 island, is a conspicuous red bluff 55 feet high; there is a small cove 

 eastward of it in which small vessels anchor in 7 fathoms of water 

 in a space about 200 yards in diameter. 



The entrance is from the eastward and northward of Big Seal 

 and Round islands, and to clear the rocks off Round island keep close 

 to the northern shore, as the passage is only 65 yards wide. There 

 is a small settlement here. 



Bennett cove, northwestward | mile from Seal Island head, 

 affords refuge for small craft, but it is barred from the southward 

 by rocks, and it is approached only from the westward by keeping 

 about Go vards from the land.
