352 CAPE KAY TO CAPE BAULD. 



the bank off Fish island by a buoy or boat ; pass this bank at a dis- 

 tance of 40 yards, and then steer for nearly ^ mile toward the sum- 

 mit of Old Ferolle island, and anchor in 7 fathoms of water, mud 

 bottom. 



This entrance is difficult to distinguish, and care should be taken 

 not to mistake another passage between the islands for it. 



Tides. — It is high water, full and change, in Old Ferolle harbor 

 at 9h. 4f)m. ; springs rise about 5 feet. The flood tidal stream sets 

 southward and the ebb northward, but when the wind is strong the 

 water moves in its direction. 



Seal cove, north-northeastward, f mile from Fish island, is open 

 westward and does not afford good anchorage. A reef extends south- 

 westward, 350 yards from Seal point, the northern point of this cove. 



Cape Ste. Genevieve, northeastward f mile from Seal point, is 

 low, covered with small trees, fringed by shoals, and must not be 

 approached within ^ mile. Cape islet is nearly joined to the northern 

 point of the cape headland by shoal water. 



Pond cove, eastward of the cape headland, extends 1 mile to the 

 southward, is completely open northAvard, and filled with shoals; the 

 eastern side of the cove is a narrow peninsula projecting about north- 

 northeastward nearly y% mile from the mainland; it is low, wooded, 

 and terminates in South West point, which lies eastward, distant 

 1,700 yards from Cape islet. 



Entry island, lying close northward of South West point, with 

 shoal water between and passage only for small boats, is shingle, with 

 a little verdure at the top, low, and difficult to recognize. Reefs 

 stretch westward from this island, leaving a channel 200 yards wide 

 between them and the shoals off Gooseberry island. 



Gooseberry island, northward about ^ mile from Entry island, 

 is nearly 1 mile long in a northeasterly and southwesterly direction, 

 300 yards wide, low^, flat, and covered with grass. Reefs extend 

 southward or toward Entry island for 700 yards, and on the eastern 

 part of these reefs and 600 yards from Entry island is Porpoise 

 rock, that uncovers at half tide. 



Current island, northward about ^ mile from Gooseberry island, 

 is of irregular shape, about 1-^q miles long, and 600 yards wide, low, 

 flat, and covered wnth verdure ; the outer coasts are fringed by bowl- 

 ders. Fisherman cove, in which are some huts, is a small indenta- 

 tion in the northern side. 



Beacon. — There is a pile of stones surmounted by a pole on a 

 mound near the southwestern end of Current island. 



Ste. Genevieve bay lies between the mainland and Entry, Goose- 

 berry, and Current islands. The eastern shore of the bay is wooded, 

 low, without any distinctiA^e feature, and bordered by shoals, several 

 of which are situated eastward of Entry island, leaving, however.
