256 CBEW POINT TO CAPE RAY. 



for a small vessel to enter the sound by Grandy passage without such 

 assistance, proceed thus — 



Make, with certainty, Black rock (see p. 255), bring it to bear 

 43°, and approach it on that bearing, or with the southwestern corner 

 of Bakers island open north westw^ard of it, about 49°, to clear the 

 rock, on which the depth is 4 feet, lying off it. Pass close to the 

 western end of Black rock, and then steer for the eastern end of 

 Harbor island, giving a sufficient berth to the two rocks on the east- 

 ern side of the channel, that off Grandy head being the more danger- 

 ous, though in calm weather the discolored water is generally visible ; 

 rounding this, pass close along the northern coasts of Grandy and 

 Bakers islands, and between the latter and another island lying 

 northward of it into the deep basin; then haul to the northward and 

 anchor in 6 to 7 fathoms of water. 



OflBlying rocks. — Grandy Passage sunkers lie off the western point 

 of Harbor island, and immediately outside Burnt island is Black 

 rock, a rock.y islet, 15 feet high and very similar in a]3pearance to 

 Black rock off Grandy passage. The sunkers have depths of 2 to 5 

 fathoms over them, the former depth bearing 226°, distant 600 yards 

 from Black rock. Westward of Black rock there are numerous rocky 

 ledges, shoals, and foul ground, extending to Bad Xeighbor patch, 

 which is just dry at low water, and steep-to on its southern side, but 

 shoal water extends Avestward 200 yards from it. 



Southwest rock, west-southwest ward If miles from Bad neighbor 

 and nearly f mile from the shore, has 1 fathom of water over it, 

 is of small extent, and only breaks in a heavy swell. 



Clearing mark. — Black rock off Grandy passage, open south- 

 Avard of Burnt island Black rock, bearing 73°, leads southward of 

 Southwest rock, and very close southward of Bad neighbor. 



The coast from Stickland point bends sharply northeastward and 

 forms God bay, Avhich is nearly 1^ miles in length; a small stream 

 flows from a valley between the surrounding hills into its head ; and 

 a stream, from which good w^ater can be taken, runs into its north- 

 western corner, and inland of this there is a pond of considerable 

 extent. 



From this corner the land trends southwestward and forms a long 

 rocky peninsula, divided near its middle by a narrow cut, and termi- 

 nating in Coney head or Hiscock point. (See p. 258.) 



At about 800 yards northeastward of the point there is a small 

 indentation of the coast and a village. 



Eastward, distant 500 yards from Coney head, are Hiscock islets, 

 a small group of rocky islets, and | mile farther eastward are some 

 rocky ledges, named Twin rocks, reaching a height of 2 feet. 



Burnt islands is the name given to the numerous islands and 

 rocks that front and partly fill God bay. On the largest island,
