count of the deep water, the heavy squalls which blow occasionally, 

 and the distance from the settlement. 



Entrance point, on the eastern side of the arm, southward lyV 

 miles from Woody point, is a wooded bluff, 281 feet high, with very 

 steep shores. 



Deep Water cove is a small bight, east-northeastward ^ mile from 

 Entrance point, with water not too deep for anchorage, but it is not 

 a desirable berth ; there are a few houses on the shores. 



The shore from Oray point, the eastern point of Deep Water cove, 

 trends northeastward for 1 f^ miles to Gadds point ; the western por- 

 tion is rocky, steep-to, and backed by wooded hills rising to heights 

 of 338 to 870 feet, but from Rattling brook, a small stream half way 

 betAveen Gray and Gadds points, it is shelving and can not be 

 approached closely. Water can be procured from Eattling brook. 



Gadds point is the northern end of Gadds head, a rounded head- 

 land, 127 feet high, about 200 yards in diameter, and connected to 

 the mainland by an isthmus; the point is steep-to, there being from 

 14 to 30 fathoms water close to the rocks. 



Gadds harbor, a cove on the southeastern side of Gadds head, has 

 anchorage for small vessels close to the shore. 



East arm extends southeast Avard about 5^ miles, and has a general 

 width of about f^ mile, with steep shores. It is entered through the 

 Tickle, a channel about 400 yards wide, between Gadds and Norris 

 points (page 321). 



The central part of East arm is a deep basin in which there are 

 depths of 100 to 126 fathoms, mud bottom. The shores are quite 

 steep, excepting only at the southern corner, where East Arm bara- 

 chois, a narrow inlet, dries at low water, and from which banks of 

 sand and mud extend about i mile. The land on both sides is high ; 

 on the western side the slopes are densely wooded, but on the eastern 

 some are bare and stony. 



Shag" cliff, eastward 1,300 yards from Gadds point, is a gray lime- 

 stone cliff, steep-to, which rises directly to the height of 390 feet. 

 Immediately eastward is a small bay, with a white stony beach, ter- 

 minating eastward 600 yards from Shag cliff, in Storehouse point, a 

 low grass-coA'ered projection, at 200 yards off which is a rock with 

 18 feet water over it and 6 fathoms between it and the shore. 



Norris cove. — At Storehouse point the shore turns south-south- 

 eastward, and Xorris cove, a small bight at 1 mile from the point, 

 has a convenient depth for anchorage, but very little room; there are 

 a few huts within the beach. 



Tuckers head, bearing 125°, distant 2-^% miles from the southern 

 point of Xorris cove, is a castellated cliff, 420 feet high. Southeast- 

 ward of it is Murphys coA^e, a small bight, and here begin the banks 

 of sand and mud extending from the entrance of East Arm barachois,
