AIGUILLETTES KOCK WHITE ISLET. 391 



Aig-uillettes rock, bearing 116°, distant 850 yards from White 

 point, the southern end of Grevigneux island, is small and has 13 

 feet water over it; there is deep water around the rock and the sea 

 breaks on it during strong westerly winds. 



The cascade on the western shore of Canada bay open southward 

 of ^Vhite point leads southward of Aiguillettes rock. 



Grevigneux harbor, northeastward of the northern end of 

 Grevigneux island, is so small that it is available for only one mod- 

 erate sized vessel, when clear of fishing craft. 



Coniinunication. — The steamer from Tilt cove calls at Grevig- 

 neux harbor weekly during summer and autumn. 



Supplies. — A small supply of fresh provisions can be obtained 

 here. 



Bide arm extends northward miles from Grevigneux island, with 

 an average breadth of 600 yards, and affords the best anchorage in 

 Canada bay in heavy weather. 



Hermit rock bears 29°, 650 yards from Grevigneux point, the 

 northern point of Grevigneux island, and 200 yards off the eastern 

 shore of this arm; it has 6 feet water over it. 



Bide shoal, on which the least Avater is 4 feet, stretches 200 yards 

 off the western shore at | mile northward of Miot point, which is 

 situated 3^ miles within Grevigneux point. 



The Watchers, rocks awash, and the Turtles, rocks dry at low 

 water, lie between Lard point, the northwestern entrance point of the 

 arm, and Milan point, a prominent point on the western side at about 

 1,200 yards within the entrance, and the shoal water around these 

 rocks extends nearly 300 yards offshore. 



Anchorage. — The water in Bide arm is deep for 2 miles north- 

 ward of Lard point; within this distance there is anchorage, but it 

 is safer to anchor at 3 miles inside the entrance, in 9 to 13 fathoms 

 water in the middle of the arm, or to proceed beyond Bide shoal, and 

 there is also sheltered anchorage in the basin at the head in 11 

 fathoms water, but vessels must not swing within 200 yards of the 

 shore.

 island, then steer about north-northeastward for Wooded point. 

 When abreast Stony point and 300 yards off it, keep in mid-channel 

 till near Miot point, after which keep about 200 yards off the eastern 

 shore till past Bide shoal, and then again in mid-channel. 



Tides. — It is high water, full and change in Bide arm at 6h. 37m, ; 

 springs rise 5^ feet, neaps 1^ feet.
