ing graduall}^ to the shores from 7 fathoms of Avater in the middle. 

 No supplies can be obtained here. 



Island Rock cove, on the northwestern shore at IH miles within 

 the entrance, has several houses on its shore; the mine wharf projects 

 from the eastern part of the cove, and bearing 152°, distant nearly 

 200 yards from it, is a rock, awash at low water. The wharf, bear- 

 ing 312°, leads northeastward, and the summit of Burnt island, 

 shut in with the northwestern end of Green island, bearing 216°, 

 leads southeastward of this rock and a bank extending southwest- 

 ward from it to a small islet. * 



Lower Wolf cove, immediately southwestward of Island Rock 

 cove, atfords anchorage for small vessels close to the shore, but there 

 is no secure position for a large vessel, since depths of 30 fathoms 

 are found at 300 yards distant from the shore. 



A steam sawmill and several houses are on the shores of Lower 

 Wolf cove, and a small jetty has been built for shipping purposes. 

 The settlement is named Springdale. 



A steam sawmill stands on the northwestern side of Green island, 

 southeastward of Lower AVolf cove, and is conspicuous from the 

 southwestward, but only the exhaust steam and flagstaff are visible 

 from the northeastward. 



A shoal with 2 fathoms of water over it, bears 51°, distant 400 

 yards from Green island. 



Burnt Island ancliorag-e. — Small vessels anchor off the first cove 

 southwestward of Burnt island, where the bank extends 335 yards 

 from the shore to the depth of 10 fathoms, but the water deepens 

 suddenly to 60 fathoms, while depths of less than 3 fathoms will be 

 found 100 yards from the shore. 



Dock point. — A conspicuous white house stands on Dock point, 

 on the northwestern shore at nearly 24 miles from the head of the 

 bay. 



Riverhead brook, a considerable stream, flows into the head of 

 Hall bay and the deposit from it has formed flats of sand that extend 

 across the entrance and for | mile to the southeastward from Eaton 

 point, falling quickly to deep water. 



Anchorage may be obtained in the southern part of the head of 

 Hall bay in 10 to 23 fathoms water as convenient, the latter depth 

 being ^j mile from the shore, or when White point, where there are 

 some houses, is in line with the northern end of Wolf head, bearing 

 59°. Small vessels shelter about f mile east-northeastward of Eaton 

 point ; depths of less than 10 fathoms extend 300 yards from the shore, 

 and deepen quickly to 24 fathoms. 



Ice. — Hall bay freezes between the end of January and early in 

 February, and the ice breaks up betAveen April 20 and May 3.
