396 CAPE BAULD TO CAPE ST. JOHX. 



Fishing vessels moor head and stern in the harbor, though it is open 

 to northerly winds. 



Tides. — It is high water, full and change, at Goulfre harbor at 

 6h. 46m.; springs rise 5^ feet, neaps 1^ feet. 



Water is easily obtained from a stream on the western side of the 

 harbor; a stream flows into the head, but a fringe of bowlders ren- 

 ders it inaccessible to boats. 



Canaries harbor (or Canada harbor) entrance is betAveen the 

 western point of Canada head and Calvary point, which lie south- 

 eastward li\r miles from Gouffre point. 



Calvary point, faced by white rocky cliffs, rises to a round hill, 

 128 feet high, on which is a cross. The western point of Canada head 

 bears east-northeastward, 850 yards from Calvary point. In this 

 harbor are the principal fishery establishments of the bay, and there 

 is a sufficient depth for mooring vessels, but the holding ground is 

 bad, and the harbor is completely open to northerly winds, which 

 bring in a heavy sea. 



Ice. — Canada bay freezes solid during December and breaks up in 

 May, early or late according to the season. In 1905, there was ice 

 off the mouth of Canada bay on June 13. 



Canada head is a conspicuous cliffy bluff, rising gradually south- 

 ward in rugged hills. 



The coast from Canada head trends southward 3 miles to cape 

 Goboso (locally Toulinguet head), and continues in steep and pre- 

 cipitous cliffs, ex(?ept in Little Canada harbor, a small cove midway 

 between the two headlands, where there are a few huts occupied by 

 fishermen in summer, though there is little protection for boats in 

 strong easterly winds. The land attains a height of 780 feet, about 

 800 yards west-southwestward of Little Canada harbor, and in cape 

 Goboso summit about 1,000 3^ards southward, 950 feet. 



Cape Tasse lies south-southwestward, | mile from cape Goboso, 

 and between them the coast falls back a little, forming a small open 

 bay. A detached rock, with a depth of 6 fathoms over it, lies 200 

 yards off cape Tasse, and here the coast bends a little to the west- 

 ward. 



Cat cove is a small bight 1 mile southwestward from cape Tasse, 

 and on its shores there are some fishermen's houses and landing 

 stages. It affords fairly good shelter for boats with northerly and 

 northeasterl}^ winds. 



The coast from Cat cove continues in high cliffs for 3 miles to 

 Duckbill point. The Sugarloaf, situated about 1 mile southwestw-ird 

 of Cat cove, is a conspicuous peaked cliff rising almost perpendicu- 

 larly 680 feet from the sea. 



Duckbill point, situated west-southwest\vard, 1'^ miles from the 

 Sugarloaf, is bare and rocky, rising to a s*t*ep escarpment terminat-
