326 CAPE BAY TO CAPE BAULD, 



is a solitary cottage. Kocks, dry at low water, extend 200 yards from 

 the point, but are steep-to. 



Indrie rock (locally Dixie rock) lies about halfway between 

 Gun and Martin points, l^jj miles from the beach, with Martin point 

 bearing 57°, distant 1^% miles; it is about 250 yards in extent and 

 has 2 fathoms of water over it. 



There are some rocky shoals of -1 to 5 fathoms at rather more 

 than ^ mile southeastward from Indrie rock. 



The Whaleback is a narrow ridge of rocks ; near its middle, bear- 

 ing 288°, distant 1 mile from Martin point, is a small mushroom-shaped 

 rock that dries 4 feet, and from it the ridge with depths of less than 

 5 fathoms extends southwestward 900 yards and northeastward 

 1,800 yards. There are several spots of 1^ to 2 fathoms on the ridge, 

 both sides of which are steep-to, but especially the northwestern, 

 where the 20-fathom contour line is distant but little over 200 yards. 

 In thick weather, therefore, the lead is not to be depended on when 

 standing toward the shoal. 



There is a clear passage, carrying -i to 6 fathoms, between the 

 Whaleback and Indrie rock, lying south-southwestward, distant one 

 mile. 



The Brandies, a cluster of shoals, begins northeastward, distant 

 lx% miles from the northeastern end of the Whaleback, and its western 

 head, with a least depth of 2 fathoms water over it, bears 8°, distant 

 Ij^o miles from Martin point and 1^ miles from the nearest shore. 

 A patch with a depth of 15 feet, bears 76°, 600 yards from the west- 

 ern head, and bearing 31°, distant 800 yards from this patch there is a 

 cluster of rocks, the top of which is awash. These shoals are steep-to 

 on their western sides, and break with a swell from that direction. 

 There is a good clear passage betAveen these shoals and the shore, but 

 its northern end, with depths greater than 5 fathoms, is contracted to 

 a width of 650 yards by a bank extending 600 yards off the beach. 

 But the shoalest part of the Brandies being generally marked by the 

 break, or wash over it, the navigation of this passage is not difficult. 



Leading- mark. — Martin and Gun points in line, bearing 205°, 

 lead through the passage inshore of the Brandies. 



Clearing marks. — Crag peak, open westward of Green point, 

 bearing 179°, leads 1,200 yards westw^ard of Indrie rock, and leads 

 lyV miles westAvard of the Whaleback. 



Parsons Pond hill, a conspicuous wooded, double-topped hill near 

 Parsons pond, in line with the eastern part of Cow Head peninsula, 

 bearing 37°, leads westward of the Whaleback and the Brandies, 

 passing the latter at a distance of ly^ miles. (See view on chart No. 

 2415.) 



The coast from the bight east^vard of Martin point continues 

 about northeastward 1^ miles to Gidls marsh, where there is a can-
