430 CAPE ST. JOHN TO CAPE BONAVISTA. 



The shore. — Green head bears 233°, distant lj\ miles from Noble 

 head, and the shore bet^Yeen is hiwh and steep-to at the distance of 

 200 yards. 



Rogues harbor. — The entrance of Northwest arm and Rogues 

 harbor lies between Green head and a point lying 600 yards south- 

 westward from it. The arms divide inside the entrance. 



A rock with 5 feet of water over it lies in the middle of the' 

 entrance, and a rock with 15 feet lies close northwestward of it. 

 There is a depth of 4| fathoms between these rocks and Green head, 

 but the best channel, with IT fathoms of water in it, is southward of 

 them. 



NortliAvest arm extends west-northwestward about -}y mile; it 

 affords no anchorage for large vessels, but small craft shelter in 7 

 fathoms of water, off' the shingle beach at the head. 



Rogues harbor extends southwestward about 1,600 yards and, at 

 about halfway in, the channel narrows to a width of 70 yards, with 

 a depth of 4^ feet in it at low water, but within this bar is a basin 

 with 11 fathoms of water in the middle, decreasing gradually in depth 

 to the head. Avoid anchoring in the eastern corner of the basin, as 

 very heavy squalls sweep over the neck of the peninsula during north- 

 easterly winds. There is a copper mine at the head of this harbor. 



Green bay, the entrance of which is between the southwestern 

 entrance point of Rogues harbor and Green Bay island, which is 

 situated 2y\j miles to the southward, extends southwestward for 15 

 miles. Northwest and Middle arms branch off on the northwestern 

 side, and the inner part is known as Southwest arm. 



The shore of the l)ay trends southwestward from the southwestern 

 entrance point of Rogues harbor for 1/^ miles to the northeastern 

 entrance point of Stocking harbor. King island, 70 feet high, forms 

 the southwestern side of the entrance to the harbor, and close east- 

 ward of it is Pigeon islet, 40 feet high. Burnt islet, 56 feet high, 

 lies in the entrance at 200 yards eastward of Pigeon islet, and there 

 is a 5-fathom patch at 200 yards eastward of it. 



Stocking harbor is a bight, nearly a mile across at its entrance, 

 extending northwestward about 1,200 yards, and a narrow and shal- 

 low arm runs in to the westward, f mile within King island. The 

 anchorages in it are available for small vessels only. 



East Stocking harbor, where there are a few houses, is an inlet on 

 the northeastern side of Stocking harbor, 500 yards in extent, and 

 135 yards wide, and the best place of refuge for small vessels, which 

 anchor in 10 fathoms water at the entrance, or less water inside, the 

 depth decreasing gradually to the head. 



John Smith harbor, 500 yards westward of King island and 

 northwestward of John Smith island, affords anchorage for small 

 craft in 9 to 12 feet water.
