southeastward ^ mile from it; both island and rock are fairly steep-to 

 except to the southeastward. 



The Bar, a low rock, lies nearly in the middle of the harbor, withm 

 the entrance, and is scarcely visible, except at low water, when there 

 is no difficulty in rounding its southern end. 



Directions. — The tidal streams are strong both in the entrance 

 and at the anchorage, and it is better not to enter nor leave Castors 

 harbor except at slack water. From the southward bring St. Mar- 

 garet mountain, distant 8 miles from Yellow point, in line with the 

 eastern extreme of the bare part of Yellow point, bearing 49°, which 

 mark leads less than 200 yards northwestward of Testu bank, 400 

 yards northwestward of the shoals off Castor point, and 450 yards 

 southeastward of the shoals southeastward of Wliite island. 



"WTien the first hill, to the right of a summit that lies southward 

 of a wooded hill at the head, is in line with the northern end of 

 the high-water line of the Bar rocks, bearing 87°, keep this mark on 

 till the beacons on Yellow point are in line. Keep the beacons in 

 line astern, 316°, and round southward of the Bar, to the anchorage 

 in 3| fathoms water in a direction at about 91° from the Bar. 



If the beacons on Yellow point are down, keep a remarkable notch 

 in the Highlands of St. John, eastward of the bare point of that 

 hill, a little eastward of the square bowlder on the southern shore, 

 bearing 136°. See views of the leading marks on chart 606a. 



Castor river flows into the southeastern part of the harbor from 

 a large pond at a short distance inland, and it affords good salmon 

 fishing during the season.

 lOh. 50m. : springs rise about 5 feet. 



John Meagher cove, on the northern side of Yellow point, is 

 open westward, and encumbered with shoals off both points and in 

 the cove, while rocks extend southwestward some distance from the 

 northern point. 



Black islet, north-northwestward, about 2 miles from White 

 island, is low and surrounded by rocks that cover, and shoals that 

 extend northward f mile from it ; there is a passage for boats between 

 it and the shore. 



Maldigues bay. — FeroUe point, the western end of New FeroUe 

 peninsula, lies northwestward, 3f miles from Black islet, and Mal- 

 digues bay, between them, is filled with shoals, some of which are 

 over a mile offshore. 



Old Boy shoal, bearing 205°, distant lyV miles from Ferolle point, 

 is a patch about 800 yards long in a north-northeasterly and south- 

 southwesterly direction, with 4| to 6 fathoms of water over it. 



Ferolle point bearing eastward of 35°, leads northward of Old Boy 

 shoal.
