388 CAPE BAULD TO CAPE ST. JOHN. 



Filler bay, south-southwestward 3 miles from Million cove, and on 

 the northern side of Cape Rouge peninsula, is completely open to the 

 eastward, and a bad anchorage. 



The coast of Cape Rouge peninsula is bold-to. 



Pyramid, point, the northeastern extreme of Cape Rouije penin- 

 sula, is a pyramidal rock, close southeastward of which is a low reef, 

 separated by a narrow boat passage. In Filler cove, at about 600 

 yards westward of Fyramid point, is a natural excavation supported 

 by a pillar, from which the cove derives its name. 



Cape Rouge, the southeastern extremity of Cape Rouge peninsula, 

 rises at a short distance westward to a peak 492 feet high. 



Truite point, the southwestern end of the peninsula, is the north- 

 ern entrance point of Cape Rouge harbor, and the settlement is im- 

 mediately northward of it. The shore of the harbor trends north- 

 northwestward and northward nearly 2 miles from Truite point to 

 the isthmus, which is about 850 yards across. 



Frauderesse point, the northeastern end of Conche peninsula, 

 situated southward, distant 1,400 yards from Truite point, is fringed 

 by rugged and curiously shaped rocks. A shoal extends nearly 300 

 yards off the point, and shoals lie off the northern coast of Conche 

 peninsula, which trends west-southwestward 1| miles from the point 

 to the isthmus; the shoals extend nearly ^ mile northward from a 

 white cross on point Dos de Cheval. 



Cape S/Ouge harbor, situated between Cape Rouge and Conche 

 peninsulas, is divided into Biche arm and Southwest bay. The west- 

 ern or mainland shore of the harbor is steep-to and nearly straight; 

 Priest cove is a small bend in it opposite the harbor entrance. 



Biche arm affords secure anchorage, easy of access with any wind. 

 The best position is in 15 fathoms of water, mud bottom, good hold- 

 ing ground, off a remarkable cascade on the western shore and north- 

 ward of Fartridge point, which is low and grassy. Shoal water 

 extends about 200 yards off the shore northward of Fartridge point. 



Southwest bay (locally Cruce harbor) has Souris or Champ Faga 

 shoal, the only isolated shoal in Cape Rouge harbor, in the middle of 

 its entrance; this shoal is the summit of a bank of rock about 300 

 yards in diameter, over which there is a least depth of 6 feet of water. 

 Cod-pile (a little peaked rise on the hills northwestward of Conche 

 harbor) in line with the northern fishing stage, bearing about 226°, 

 leads northwestward; the northwestern point of Bell island well open 

 northeastward of Frauderesse point, bearing 130°, leads northeast- 

 ward ; and the northern point of Rouge island in line with Frauderesse 

 point, bearing 102°, leads southward. 



The northwestern end of Groais island in line with Gonde point, 

 which is about 600 yards south-southwestward of cape Rouge, bearing
