368 CAPE BAULD TO CAPE ST. JOHN. 



Degrat harbor, on the northern side of cape Degrat headland, is a 

 small cove where six fishing vessels can moor in 13 feet of water inside 

 a fiat roclv on the eastern side. Sheep channel, between Sheep and 

 Degrat islands, is the best passage to this harbor, and after passing 

 Sheep bank, to clear which keep the northern side of Siieep island 

 close aboard, the channel is clear, though narrow. 



Cape Degrat rises to a hill 505 feet high, the highest in this 

 locality, and is faced by a steep cliff 300 feet high, witli deep water 

 close alongside. The cliff's fall at about 800 yards southward of the 

 cape to "Wliite point, a landslip in the cliffs, of a lighter color than 

 the rest of the coast. 



Grands Galets bay is situated southwest ward of (lalets head, the 

 southern part of cape Degrat headland, but it affords no shelter. 



Little Kirpon harbor, at the soutliern point of Kirpon island, is 

 600 yards long and 250 yards broad; the holding ground is bad. 



Vessels drawing less than 12 feet of Avater can pass southward of 

 Kirpon island to Kirpon harbor, but as the tidal streams are strong, 

 caution is necessary to avoid Butterpot rock, that lies nearly in the 

 middle of the channel southward of the southern point of Kirpon 

 island and is nearly always covered. (For Kirpon harbor, see 

 p. 365.)

 2^ miles eastward of Partridge point, which lies Ij^ miles south- 

 southwestward from Oalets head; the soutliAvestern and highest 

 island is about ^ mile long, and a shoal lies 150 yards northward 

 of its northern end. 



White rocks (les Donzelles), west-southwest ward 5 mile from 

 "WTiite islands, are a group of low islets with sunken rocks about 200 

 yards off their northern end. 



A rock bears 112°, distant 850 yards, from the southeastern end 

 of these rocks, and the sea always breaks on it. 



Madeleine shoal is in the first cove southward of Partridge 

 point; it lias 2 feet least water over it, and there is a depth of 2 J 

 fathoms at about 200 yards southeastward of it; Galets head opens 

 eastward of the islands situated close southeastward of Partridge 

 point, bearing 10°, leads eastward of the whole of the shoal. 



Green shoal, with 10 feet water over it, bears 129°, nearly 200 

 yards from Breaker jDoint, a low point sheltering 2 small coves, at 

 ly% miles southward from Partridge point. 



Storm cape is a rocky islet close to the land at 1,600 yards south- 

 ward of Breaker point, and Broize point is situated about 1,200 

 yards southwestward of the cape.

 anchorages, formed by a group of islands lying close to the mainland,
