254 CREW POINT TO CAPE EAY, 



which it opens out to a basin affording sheltered, but very confined, 

 anchorage to small vessels, in 4 fathoms of water. The entrance, be- 

 tween the cliffs on the western side (which must be kept close aboard) 

 and the shoals extending from the eastern point, is only about 200 

 feet wide, but it is safe with local knowledge. 



The coast from Mull Face bay trends generally westward to 

 Barasway ba}^, which is much encumbered by rocks and shoals. In 

 its northwestern corner there is a conspicuous waterfall, formed by a 

 stream which flows from several large ponds between the hills. 



Green island, lying off the eastern point of Barasway bay, with 

 deep water between, is 21 feet high, and being covered with grass, is 

 rather prominent. Southeastward and southwestward of it are Green 

 Island sunkers, several rocks and ledges which generally break; of 

 these, the southeastern rock, with 10 feet of water over it, bears 131^^, 

 distant 1,200 yards, and the western rock, with 6 feet over it, bears 

 209°, 700 yards from the summit of the island. Also a ledge of 2 to 

 3 fathoms of water extends west-southwestward 550 yards from the 

 island. 



Butterpot hill, open southward of Tinker island, bearing 279°, 

 leads southward of these shoals. 



The coast from Barasway bay, trending still generally westward, 

 is cliffy and fairly steep-to for f mile to White head, which is con- 

 spicuous. Half a mile westward of this the coast is fronted by a 

 group of small islands, inside of which there is a fishing village named 

 Baziel. There is a narrow passage between those islands and the 

 mainhmd with 3 to 4 fathoms of water in it. 



Tinker island, the western of Baziel group, is large blocks of 

 shale and granite, 20 feet high, and quite bare of vegetation; on the 

 summit there is a single block of shale standing at an angle of about 

 45°. There is a rock, bearing 187°, distant 500 yards from the middle 

 of this island, with 9 feet of water over it. Rose Blanche lighthouse, 

 open southward of Duck island, bearing 77°, leads 700 yards south- 

 ward of this rock. 



Pigeon island, nearly 1,200 yards westward of Tinker island, is 

 23 feet high, rocky, and barren like the mainland in this vicinity. A 

 small rock off its southern side has 2 fathoms of water over it. 



The mainland coast between Tinker and Pigeon islands recedes 

 and forms a bay nearly 5 mile in extent, but it does not afford anchor- 

 age. Westward of Pigeon island is another bay, fronted by a group 

 of small rocky islets, and, a little farther westward, a group of 

 islands, the highest of which is 48 feet high, fronts the entrance to a 

 narrow channel leading into Grandy sound, and known as Milners 

 tickle. Half a mile farther westward is Grandy passage. 



Pigeon Island shoals, lying westward of Pigeon island, are a 

 cluster of rock}^ patches, some of which dry at low water; the outer
