280 CAPE EAY TO CAPE BAULD. 



The coast, westward of Isthmus bay, is composed of low cliffs 

 backed by thickly wooded ridges 125 to 270 feet in height, for about 

 2^ miles, to Felix cove, a slight bend, where a few houses are located 

 and a small stream runs over the beach. There is a rocky patch with 

 4J fathoms of water over it ^ mile southward of the cove. 



The coast, westward of Felix cove continues in low cliffs, but the 

 bordering land rises in densely wooded ridges 400 to 500 feet high. 



At 1^ miles from Felix cove, and below two rather conspicuous 

 houses on the green slope, is a rocky cove affording a partially shel- 

 tered landing place for boats except in very bad weather. The rocks 

 forming this cove make a small angle with the shore for about 70, 

 yards, the entrance facing eastward. 



This coast is everywhere steep-to. 



Campbells cove is a small bight in the coast at 2f miles westward 

 of Felix cove. In the middle of the cove is a rocky projection afford- 

 ing a good landing place, and, being more sheltered, it is better than 

 that just described. At low water, however, there is hardly depth 

 enough for an ordinary ship's boat, and, if there is any swell run- 

 ning, landing can not safely be effected until the tide has risen. 



There are several cottages and a good deal of cultivated land 

 around the shores of the cove. A fairly good road runs to Isthmus 

 bay. Pierways hill is a remarkable stone and comparatively bare 

 hill, with two similar summits; the western summit, north-northwest- 

 ward nearly a mile from the cove, is 779 feet high, and it falls in a 

 gradual slope to Abrahams cove. 



The western point of Campbells cove is a perpendicular cliff, 99 

 feet high, having some rocks and bowlders at its foot. Messervy 

 cove is a small indentation westward of the western point of Camp- 

 bells cove, and there are some houses and cultivated lands around it. 



Abrahams cove. — The coast continues cliffy to Abrahams cove, 

 an indentation with a ravine at its head, westward, 2^ miles from 

 Campbells cove; there is a very conspicuous cliff', 145 feet high, on 

 its western side. Here the 20 fathom contour line crossing St. 

 George bay from the southward closes the coast and continues west- 

 ward at a distance of about ^ mile. 



The land within Abraham cove consists of flat-topped thickly 

 wooded ridges. 



Jerry's nose, a low rockj' point 1^ miles westward of Abrahams 

 cove, forms the eastern side of Fiods cove, a small bight, where there 

 are also some cottages. Numbers of dorys may be seen about all these 

 coves, but there is no landing in bad weather except where mentioned. 



Ship island, small, rocky, and 36 feet high, lies off the end of the 

 projection on the westerji side of Fiods cove, with which it is con- 

 nected at low water. A rocky patch, with 3| fathoms of water over it, 

 lies from 200 to 500 vards southwestward from the island ; there is a
