MULOU SHOAL CEOC HAEBOE. 385 



Mulou shoal, bearing 30°, distant 265 yards from the northeastern 

 point of St. Julien island, has 3 fathoms water over it, and breaks in 

 bad weather. 



Sotiris rock, awash at low water, lies southward 100 yards and 

 Soiiriceaii rock, with 3 feet water over it, southwestward 100 yards 

 from the islet close southwestward of St. Julien island. 



Jeanne channel has a clear navigable width of about 100 yards 

 and is passable ordinarily by vessels drawing less than 13 feet water; 

 from the southward keep near the mainland, until abreast the islets, 

 and then in mid-channel; in vessels of greater draft buoy the passage 

 before taking it. This channel is rendered difficult by the strong 

 tidal streams in it, the flood stream beginning at low water and set- 

 ting northwestward, and the ebb beginning at high water and setting 

 southeastward. 



The coast trends southwestward, 3^ miles from St. Julien island to 

 Groux point and is bold-to; Black or Irish islet, southward ^ mile 

 from Jeanne channel, is a rock, barren and steep-to ; Flamands cove, 

 southwestward 1,200 yards from the islet, is quite open, and at about 

 -J mile farther southwestward is St. Julien peak, 279 feet high, which 

 rises steeply from the coast and resembles the summit of Windy 

 point. Corbeau islet and Petit Eocher lie close to the shore, north- 

 eastward 1,800 yards and east-northeastward 600 yards, respectively, 

 from Groux point. 



Ice. — In 1903 there were numerous bergs and pancake ice off the 

 coast between Fichot islands and Croc harbor up to June 23. 



Croc harbor entrance lies between Groux point and Windy or 

 Barren point, which points bear northward and southward, distant 

 1,200 yards from each other; the entrance is not easily made out from 

 the eastward. 



The harbor within the entrance extends generally westward for 

 IjX) miles and then turns about north-northwestward for 1 mile to its 

 head, le Fond, and from about 800 yards from the northern end of 

 this arm a smaller arm, Epine Cadoret. stretches southwestward to 

 Freshwater creek at its head. 



The shore of the harbor from Groux point curves northward to 

 Groux bay. which affords shelter to boats only, and within Bon- 

 homme point, the western headland of this bay, the shore is steep-to 

 except in Fishermans cove at 600 yards westward. This cove, in 

 which there is a fishing establishment, is only suitable for boats. 



Observation point, the southern entrance point of Epine Cadoret, is 

 bold-to. About I mile up this arm on the western side is Cemetery 

 point, on which stands a large white cross, and just inside the first 

 elbow is Careening point, where vessels can be hove down.
