270 CAPE RAY TO CAPE BAULD. 



it remained clear altogether. The upper part of the bay is generally 

 frozen over between December and April; the average date of 

 freezing is January 15, and of clearance of ice, April 8, but some- 

 times the bay is clear of ice throughout the winter. 



Fog". — In spring, after the ice has disappeared, fog is not uncom- 

 mon, but it is neither so thick nor so lasting as that on the southern 

 coast. 



Tidal stream. — During the prevalence of strong southeasterly 

 winds the flood stream sets into the bay at the rate of about a knot an 

 hour. 



The coast from cape Anguille to Lewis point, northeastward, dis- 

 tant about 16 miles, is composed of cliffs, reaching, in places, a height 

 of 270 feet, and broken here and there by gullies extending from Cape 

 Anguille mountains, which are immediately inland. It is steep-to 

 and free from offlying shoals, the 10-fathom contour line, over its 

 whole extent, being about 800 yards from the shore. The tops of the 

 cliffs and the slopes of the mountains behind are densely wooded, and 

 waterfalls mark the mouths of several streams, especially during 

 spring. 



At the entrance to some of the gullies there are small clusters of 

 rude huts in which the fishermen live during summer. A narrow 

 bush trail, originally cut for the benefit of persons shipwrecked on 

 this inhospitable coast, runs parallel with the cliffs a short distance 

 inland and connects cape Anguille with Ship cove. 



Cape John, northeastward, 4^ miles from cape Anguille, is a roclcy 

 point, and immediately westward of it is Snake bight, which affords 

 anchorage in 10 to 18 fathoms Avater, during southerly and southeast- 

 erly winds. 



Great Friars cove, northeastward, 2 miles from cape John, is a 

 small semicircular indentation at the mouth of Friar's gulch, a deep 

 gully, and northeastward, f mile from the cove, there is Old Bone-em. 

 a remarkable needle-pointed rock detached from the cliff, which is 

 only distinctly seen from a direction nearly parallel with the shore. 



Johnsons cove lies northeastward, nearly 6 miles from Old 

 Bone-em. and between them are three similar little bays named respec- 

 tively Mary Anns cove. Hines cove (situated at the mouth of a very 

 deep gully), and Wreck cove. 



At Johnsons cove is a fan-shaped waterfall just inside of the 

 beach, and conspicuous bare cliffs, 1.260 feet high, form the eastern 

 side of Johnsons gulch, the deep gully which here stretches back 

 through the range. 



Lewis point lies northeastward, 3 miles from Johnsons cove, and 

 midway between them is Little Friars cove. The point on easterly 

 bearings shows as the apparent tangent of the cliffy coast. About -100
