378 CAPE RAULD TO CAPE ST. JOHN, 



Ariege bay, or Southern arm (locally Belvy bay), extends south- 

 southwestward nearly 3 miles from the eastern end of Long island 

 and thence sonth-sontheastward 3 miles farther; a group of islands 

 and rocks, within which there is no passage, forms the eastern en- 

 trance to this arm, which is about ^ mile wide for 3 miles, Avhen it 

 narrows, and expands again into two basins, with good anchorage 

 in 8 to 10 fathoms of water. 



Cailloux islet, lying eastward 1,200 yards from the southwestern 

 end of Long island, is low, flat, and covered Avith grass in summer. 

 Shoal Avater extends about 300 yards from the northeastern side 

 of the islet. 



Directions. — Pass southeastward of Brent islands and keep in 

 mid-channel ; Cailloux islet in line with a low wooded point on the 

 mainland, bearing about 215°, leads clear of the shoals extending 

 along the eastern side of Long island; the low point is, however, 

 somewhat difficult to make out. 



Anchorage has been obtained in 8 fathoms of water, mud bottom, 

 with the southwestern end of Long island bearing 332°, distant about 

 1,200 yards. The inner anchorage in Ariege bay, off the mouth of 

 Salmon river, affords good holding ground in about 5 fathoms, mud 

 bottom. It is approached between Devarenne island, on the north- 

 western side, and Paul and Charles islands, on the southeastern side. 



Isabel island and several small islands extend off the southwest- 

 ern shore of Hare bay northeastward of Southern arm. Demetre 

 island, the northernmost of these islands, lies l^^j miles northward of 

 Isabel island, and all the area inclosed by them appears to be shallow 

 and foul. 



Indre point lies eastAvarcl 1^ miles from the northeastern end of 

 Isabel island, and it is 52 feet high. 



Indre shoal, bearing 55", distant ^ mile from Indre point, has 1^ 

 fathoms of water over it, and 3| to 4^ fathoms at the distance of 200 

 yards between the directions northeastward and southeastward 

 from it. 



Little arm lies between Indre point, and the land southAvard of it, 

 and the northern part of MacGra}?- island, the middle of the western 

 side of which is almost connected with the mainland. The arm 

 extends southward about 1.300 yards, and it affords anchorage near 

 its head in 11 to 13 fathoms, but it is open northward. 



Shoals.— Several islets and much foul ground lie around the 

 northern end of MacGray island. There is a shoal of 4 fathoms in 

 Little arm, bearing 270°, distant 450 yards from the northern ex- 

 tremity of ^lacGray island. Xu or Bare islet bears 83°, distant 300 

 yards from the same point of the island, and a reef extends Avestward 

 200 yards from the islet. Foul ground. Avith 9 feet least Avater over it,
