404 CAPE BAULD TO CAPE ST. JOHN. 



Coney Head banks are some detached patches, with depths of 

 22 to 25 fathoms over them, lying 1| to 3 miles north-northeastward 

 of Coney head. 



Coney head is cliffy, covered with stunted trees, and conspicuous 

 on southerly bearings. Dossenger cove, a small indentation with a 

 beach at its head, is | mile southward of the eastern part of Coney 

 head. 



Dossenger rock bears 92°, distant ly^^ miles from Big Cove head, 

 the southern entrance point of Dossenger cove. It is a small patch, 

 very steep-to, and there is a depth of 5f fathoms over its shallowest 

 part. During calm weather at spring tides its position is usually 

 marked by a slight tide-rip, and during bad weather the sea breaks 

 on it. 



The shore southward of Dossenger cove is high, wooded, and steep 

 for nearly 3 miles to Frenchmans cove. 



Frenchmans cove is an inlet extending westward about | mile, 

 with a width varying from 400 to 800 yards; though open to the 

 eastward, the sea never reaches home, and there is consequently good 

 anchorage off the fiat ground near its head, in 12 to 15 fathoms 

 water, mud bottom. 



There are no shoals in the cove, but rocky banks with 7 to 10 

 fathoms water over them extend about ^ mile from the heads on 

 either side of the entrance, and these banks are connected by a bar 

 over which the depth is 12 fathoms in the fairway. The water 

 deepens to 47 fathoms inside this bar, and shoals again toward a 

 mud flat extending from the beach at the head of the cove. The fliat 

 is steep-to, and it must be approached with caution, as the depth 

 decreases from 12 to 3 fathoms in a distance of 120 yards. 



Camp cove, on the southern side of Frenchmans cove, is open, and 

 affords no shelter. 



Tides. — It is high water, full and change, in Frenchmans cove at 

 7h. Om. ; springs rise 4| feet, neaps 2| feet. 



Frenchmans head, a little southward of Frenchmans cove, is a 

 high rock with a bare cliffy face, and is fronted by low rocks and 

 ledges, which, however, are quite steep-to. A projecting low point, 

 at f mile southward of the head, is conspicuous, and southwestward 

 1,200 yards from this point is Godfather point. 



Godfather cove, the entrance of which lies between Godfather 

 point and Eastern head of Jacksons arm, situated about 600 yards to 

 the southwestward, is a bight extending about 800 yards northwest- 

 ward with a width of 350 yards, and having a stony beach at its head. 

 There is a small rock, bearing 216°, distant 150 yards from God- 

 father point, with 4 feet water over it, and 4 fathoms between it and 

 the shore. Godfather cove is of moderate depth, but it is not suit- 

 able for anchorage.
