WOLF COVE SUNDAY COVE. 443 



Tides. — It is high water, full and change, in Hall bay at 7h. 16m. ; 

 springs rise 5^ feet, neaps rise 3^ feet, neaps range 2 feet. 



Wolf cove, eastward of Wolf head, is 800 yards deep, 750 yards 

 wide at the entrance, and 400 yards wide at the head; the depths 

 range from 33 fathoms in the entrance to 8 fathoms close to the head, 

 and the shoal water which fringes the shores falls steeply to depths 

 suitable for the largest vessels. 



Communication. — The steamer from Burnt bay calls at Wolf 

 cove weekly during summer and autumn. There is a road from the 

 cove to Little bay. 



Boot harbor is situated on the southeastern shore at 7^ miles north- 

 eastward of Wolf head and immediately eastward of Boot Harbor 

 head, a bold bluff surmounted by a wooded hill 250 feet high; here 

 is a shingle mill worked by the water of a cascade falling into the 

 harbor ; also a wharf, having some white houses near it, and a rock, 

 with 1 foot water over it, bearing 20°, distant 200 yards from its outer 

 end. 



Anchorage may be obtained in Boot harbor, in 12 to 15 fathoms 

 water, at 400 yards from the shore ; the best position is with the wharf 

 bearing 149°, and the northern end of the largest wooded islet on the 

 southwestern side of the harbor, 272°. 



Sunday Cove island tickle, the passage between Sunday Cove 

 island and the mainland, is not available for vessels drawing more 

 than 12 feet, and even these should not attempt it at low water, for 

 though the general depth over the bar toward the eastern end is not 

 less than 13 feet, and there are one or two spots where bowlders rise 

 above that level. The bottom is visible and, for vessels of suitable 

 draft, the navigation is easy. 



From the northwestward and having rounded the rock that dries 

 off Mooring cove, steer a little northward of the middle of the channel 

 so as to bring the end of Burnt head just open of the eastern point 

 of Mooring cove. Keep this line until nearly abreast Shoal Arm 

 point, and then steer to pass close to the rounded headland facing 

 Woodfords arm. 



The mail steamships of the Newfoundland coast service, drawing 

 about 12 feet water, use this passage regularly. 



There is good anchorage at the western entrance of Sunda}^ Cove 

 Island tickle in 6 to 10 fathoms ; the chart is a sufficient guide. 



Sunday cove. — Eastward of the tickle just described is a large 

 bight known as Woodfords arm. Its shores are shallow for some dis- 

 tance off, but there is anchorage in the middle of the bight in 11 to 12 

 fathoms, mud bottom. Strong southwesterly winds blow across this 

 bight in violent squalls from oft' the neighboring hills. 



Eastward of Woodfords arm, Sunday cove narrows to 400 yards, 

 and then continues for about 2 miles, when it opens into the extensive
