.GROSSE POIXT TENEDOS EOCK. 393 



Grosse point, opposite Cabin point and nearly a mile northward 

 of Bad rock, contracts the channel to a width of 500 yards, but it is 

 clear excepting the ledges close to Cabin point. There is good an- 

 chorage in 18 fathoms, mud bottom, at a point bearing 160°, distant 

 TOO yards from Grosse point. 



Between Grosse and Weymouth points the arm is clear and deep 

 beyond a distance of 300 yards from its shores, and there is good 

 anchorage at | mile northward of Cabin point in 11 to 13 fathoms, 

 bottom mud, toward the western side. 



Weymouth point is low, and wooded to the water's edge. Wey- 

 mouth cove, immediately northwestward of it, extends nearly ^ mile 

 in a southwesterly direction and is surrounded by foul and rocky 

 shores. Between the northern entrance point of this cove and Old 

 House point, ly^ miles farther northward, there are several shoal 

 patches which extend more than halfway across the arm abreast 

 Chaine point. Therefore keep the eastern side aboard. 



Chaine point, on the eastern shore, 1,700 yards northeastward 

 of Weymouth point, is fiat and wooded. Foul ground extends south- 

 westward over 200 yards, and northeastward ^ mile from it, and a 

 bank, with depths of 6 to 11 fathoms over it, mud bottom, stretches 

 across the channel abreast of it. There is good anchorage in 12 

 fathoms in the eastern part of Dowers harbor, which is northeastward 

 of Chaine point, but the space with depths over 5 fathoms is only 

 about 350 yards across. 



Scott point, northward, 1,200 yards from Chaine point, is low, 

 and rocky shoals extend 300 yards oil its southern side. A narrow 

 cove runs northeastward about 1,200 yards from immediately south- 

 eastward of Scott point, but its greater part is filled with shallows of 

 sand and mud. 



Old House point forms with Scott point the termination of the 

 channel leading to the open water space at the head of Canada bay. 

 A quarter of a mile southeastward of it, on a low sandy point, there 

 is a small wharf, behind which are a few buildings occupied by 

 settlers, who are engaged in salmon fishing and trapping in the 

 neighborhood. 



A shoal of black mud, having a depth of 7 feet over its outer end, 

 extends northeastward for i mile, and northward for nearly the 

 same distance off this point, forming two prongs witli 4 to 6 fathoms 

 of water between them. 



Tenedos rock, bearing 49°, distant 1,200 yards from Old House 

 point, has a least depth of 6 feet over it. Between it and the shoal 

 extending from that point there is a clear channel 600 yards vride. 



Beacons. — A beacon stands on the northern extremity of Drum- 

 mond island, and another on the mainland northward of it. These 

 beacons in line, bearing 337", lead in mid-channel from northward of
