350 CAPE KAY TO CAPE BAULD. 



depth of 15 feet, near its western edge, lies in the fairway to the 

 anchorage in St. Margaret bay, with Black point bearing 290°, dis- 

 tant 1,900 yards. New Ferolle point in line with Black point leads 

 close northward of the patch. 



Ice. — St. Margaret bay freezes late in Xoveniber or in December, 

 and the ice breaks up about the middle of May. 



Tides.— It is high water, full and change, in St. Margaret bay at 

 lOh. 31m.; springs rise 5J feet. Strong southerly winds raise the 

 water about 1^ feet. 



The coast from the northern point of Dog peninsula to Grave 

 l^oint, situated 3 miles eastward, is low and indented with several 

 open coves, on the shores of which are some huts. It is difficult to 

 distinguish from a distance. Shoal water extends TOO yards otl' the 

 shore of Dog cove, wdiich lie's eastward of the peninsula, and less than 

 400 yards off other parts of the coast. 



Woody hill, southeastward, 1,300 yards from Grave point and | 

 mile inland, is 151 feet high, and the highest part of the coast range; 

 a bare patch on its seaward face helps to indicate it when seen against 

 the high ranges of the background. 



Brig bay is immediately southeastward of Grave point. A rock, 

 with 15 feet of water over it, bears 18°, distant 450 yards from Grave 

 point, and there are depths of less than 5 fathoms between it and the 

 point. 



Entrance island bears 29°, distant ^ mile from Grave point, and 

 lies on the northeastern side of South pass, the entrance to Brig 

 bay and to Old Ferolle harbor. It is about 200 yards across, 10 feet 

 high, and covered with gray flat stones. Rocks that cover, and shoal 

 water extend 465 yards southwestward of the island, and shoal water 

 extends 200 yards off the northwestern side, but the southeastern 

 side is bold-to. A shingle spit, steep-to, extends 100 yards eastward 

 of it. 



Beacons. — A pile of stones, surmounted by a pole, stands on En- 

 trance island, and there is a beacon on West mound, 52 feet high, 300 

 yards within the southwestern end of Old Ferolle island. Two lead- 

 ing beacons, consisting of poles surmounted by white casks, are sit- 

 uated on the shore southeastward of Front point. Three beacons 

 stand on Grave point. Dependence should not be placed on these 

 beacons being in position. 



Directions. — To enter by Southern pass, bring the two leading 

 beacons in line, bearing 119°, which leads southward of the shoals 

 extending from Entrance island and about 100 yards northward of 

 the 15- foot rock off Grave point. When the beacons on Entrance and 

 Old Ferolle islands are in line, bearing about 18°, or when Grave 

 point bears 203°, keep the beacons in line astern, or steer for the 

 western shore of Brig bay, keeping it distant 150 yards, until the first
