GREEN COVE MARTIN POINT. 325 



At some 2 miles westward from Berry head there are frequently 

 overfalls and tide rips when the ebb stream is running strongly out 

 of Bonne bay. 



Green cove, between Pond and Green points, is shallow for about 

 400 yards from the shore, and unfit for anchorage, as a swell gen- 

 erally sets in when the wind is from seaward, while, with strong 

 winds blowing offshore, the squalls from the mountains are violent. 

 There are some houses on the northeastern side of the cove. 



Green point, northward, 1,300 yards from Pond point, is a pro- 

 jecting low clay cliff, flat topped and grass covered. 



A ledge of rocks extends southwestward from Green point, and at 

 600 yards southwestward from the point there is a detached patch, 

 with 3 fathoms water over it and a narrow boat passage, slightly 

 deeper, inside. At 1,100 yards southwestward from the point there 

 is a detached rock with a depth of 4^ fathoms over it and 5 to 8 

 fathoms around. These rocks break with an on-shore swell. 



The coast from Green point is a bowlder beach, with a low bank, 

 more or less wooded, rising within it, north-northeastward for 2| 

 miles to Gun point. Inland are low ridges with extensive marshes 

 and many ponds. Little brook, a small stream with a canning factory 

 on its northern side, flows into the sea at 1 mile from Green point. 



Gun Point shoals are a group of rocky heads on a narrow ridge 

 extending westward nearly 1^ miles from the shore at a place 1,600 

 yards northeastward of Gun point. The shoalest spot, with a depth 

 of 3 fathoms, bears 320°, distant 1,400 yards from Gun point, and 

 around it are depths of 4 to 5 fathoms. Westward of the ridge there 

 are depths of less than 10 fathoms for a distance of 3^ miles from the 

 land. 



Clearing' mark. — Crag peak (p. 317), on the southwestern side 

 of the entrance to Bonne bay, just open westward of Green point, 

 bearing 180°, leads westward of Gun Point shoals. 



The coast from Gun point, north-northeastward, for 2yV miles to 

 Martin point, is of the same character as that toward Green point, 

 but the shoal water fronting the beach extends a little farther off. 

 Sally cove is a shallow bight, about 1,200 yards from Gun point, 

 where there is a canning factory and some houses ; and on either side 

 of this bight a tongue of stones and bowlders, dry at low water, 

 extends about 300 yards from the beach ; the 3-f athom line is here dis- 

 tant over 800 yards from the shore. 



Communication. — The steamer from Halifax, monthly, some- 

 times stops off Sally cove. 



Martin point is a low cliff, 35 feet high, covered with grass on 

 the top, and having a large clump of trees close behind it. From the 

 point the coast turns sharply eastward for about 400 yards and 

 thence about northeastward, forming a small bight, in which there
