NEW FEEOLLE PENINSULA ST. MAEGAEET BAY. 349 



New Ferolle peninsula, of moderate height, and partly wooded, 

 is 2^ miles long from Ferolle point to New Ferolle point, and is 

 joined to the mainland by a low isthmus, 600 to 800 yards wide, over 

 which the masts of the fishing vessels can be seen. Detached rocks 

 appear to extend nearly 200 yards from Ferolle point. The northern 

 coast is steep-to, but New Ferolle point is foul to the distance of 400 

 yards northeastward. 



Jehenne bank.— A rock with 16 feet of water over it is situated 

 on Jehenne bank, with New Ferolle point bearing 178°, distant 2,050 

 yards. 



This rock is approximately in the middle of the bank, which 

 extends within the 10-fathom line 1,400 yards in a northeasterly and 

 southwesterly direction, with a width of 700 yards; there are depths 

 of 4^ to 6 fathoms in places on the bank, 



A shoal, with 4^ fathoms over it, lies north-northeastward of the 

 bank with NeAv Ferolle point bearing 193°, distant 1^ miles. 



New Ferolle cove extends southward 1 mile from New Ferolle 

 point. Black point, which bears 105°, distant 1^ miles from New 

 Ferolle point, is the other headland. The cove is open northeastward, 

 and, although it is a bad anchorage, it is much frequented. 



The middle of this cove is occupied by a shoal, with 2 to 2^ fath- 

 oms water over it, Avhich extends as far to the northeastward as the 

 line between New Ferolle to Black points. Anchorage in 4 fathoms 

 of water may be obtained at a distance of -1 mile in a direction 152"^ 

 from New Ferolle point. 



St. Margaret bay is entered between Black point and Dog penin- 

 sula; this peninsula bears 46°, distant 1^ miles from the point, and 

 is of moderate height, covered with brushwood, and faced by cliffs. 



The bay extends 3^ miles southeastward, but the eastern portion 

 is filled with islets and shoal banks, among which only very small 

 craft can find shelter. There are several shoal spots near the center 

 of the bay ; the two westernmost, with least depths of 4-|- fathoms, lie 

 24°, distant 2,800 yards, and 28°, distant 2,130 yards, respectively, 

 from Bank point. The western side is fairly clear, and anchorage 

 may be obtained off' South cove. Care must be taken to anchor in the 

 small space, in not less than 6 fathoms water, mud bottom, with the 

 fall of the Highlands of St. John open westward of a large square 

 stone at the head of South cove, bearing about 192°, and St. Margaret 

 mountain in line with the western reef inside of Rase island, 80°. The 

 depths in the approach to this anchorage were reported in 1885 to be 

 1 fathom less than charted. Except in the position given, the bottom 

 consists of slippery rocks with long seaweed, over which the anchor 

 drags. Shoal water 3f fathoms lies 300 yards inside the anchorage. 



Rock. — A rocky patch about 400 yards in extent with less than 

 5 fathoms water over it, and with a small head, on which there is a
