250 CREW POINT TO CAPE EAY. 



160 feet high, and the Sugarloaf, northwestward 1.100 yards from 

 Shark Cove head, is a conical hill 220 feet high and covered with 

 dark spruce, which surmounts the turning point into the basin. 



Calapoose rocks, 3 feet high, are nearly in the middle of the 

 entrance; an4 a shoal, with 12 feet of water over it, bears 122°, 200 

 yards from them ; Sugarloaf point open westward of Calapoose rocks, 

 bearing 310°, leads southwestward of this shoal; the harbor and 

 entrance are otherwise clear of shoals except close to the shore. 



The cove, ^ mile deep, and 250 yards wide at its entrance, affords 

 anchorage for small vessels in 8 to 11 fathoms water. 



Some rocks lie close to a small hillock, on the northern side of the 

 cove, and a rock, that dries at low water, lies in the middle of its 

 head. 



The basin is } mile in diameter, with a depth of 14 to 20 fathoms 

 water almost to the shore, but a spit extends a few yards from the 

 small islet on its western side and just wdthin the entrance, and some 

 rocks lie a similar distance from the bluff at its northeastern end. 



The Barasway, a shallow inlet, extends northward 350 yards 

 from the northwestern end of the basin, and there is a waterfall at 

 its head. 



The coast between harbor le Cou and Rose Blanche point (said 

 to be a corruption of Roches Blanches), which bears 233°, distant If 

 miles from Fish head, is a whitish gi'ay rock, and generally steep. 

 Wash rocks, which dry 4 feet, lie a little more than 100 yards from the 

 coast at 1,600 yards northeastward of Rose Blanche point. 



Light. — A granite lighthouse, 40 feet high, surmounting the cor- 

 ner of slate-roofed buildings, with one side and one end painted red 

 and white in vertical stripes, on the eastern head of Rose Blanche 

 j)oint, exhibits, at 95 feet above high Avater, a fixed white light, that 

 should be seen over an arc of 169° between the bearings 62° and 

 253°, from a distance of 11 miles in clear weather. 



Black rock, lying westward, distant 250 yards from Rose Blanche 

 point, is 11 feet high, and from it a line of rocks extends northeast- 

 ward about 800 yards. Black Rock sunker, 200 yards southward of 

 Black rock, has 7 feet of water over it. 



Directions. — Proceeding southwaixl and westward from Little 

 Garia bay, pass well eastward of Edge of Ground shoal, and when 

 Shag islet off Deer island is open southward of Wreck island, bearing 

 55°, keep it so astern until Seal Island head opens westward of Black 

 rock of Seal islands, bearing 319°, to clear the shoals off Seal island; 

 then steer for Rose Blanche point. 



When approaching Petites, keep Seal Island head open southward 

 of Winging island, the southeastern of the group of islands off that 

 place, bearing 63°, until the Red house is open northwestward of the 

 southeastern shore of bay le Moine, bearing 24° ; then steer north^\ard
