444 CAPE ST. JOHN TO CAPE BOFAVISTA. 



water space separating Sunday Cove island and the mainland from 

 Pilley island. 



The navigation of Sunday cove presents no difficulty, and there are 

 no shoals outside of those fringing the shores. 



There is a wharf for shipping pulp wood on the southern side of 

 the narrows in Sunday cove. On the northeastern side there are a 

 few houses. 



The mainland, forming the southern side of Sunday cove, is thick- 

 ly wooded and rises to a height of upward of 500 feet. The shore 

 is fairly steep, conspicuous, and cliffy, except in Haywards bight, a 

 bay immediately westward of Haywards head. The shores of this 

 bight are foul and rocky, and about the middle of it, 400 yards from 

 the shore, is a small patch of rocks, the top of which is 1 foot high. 

 Haywards head is steep-to. 



Wellman cove is situated on the western shore of the northern 

 part of Sunday cove island at 1^ miles southward of Island point; 

 there are some houses on its shores. 



A shoal extends northward 200 yards from the southern entrance 

 point, and the cove is foul generally to that distance offshore. 



There is anchorage, for small vessels only, in 8 to 13 fathoms water 

 off the houses, but the holding ground is bad, excej)t in a small spot, 

 where the local schooners moor. 



Sunday Cove Island big'ht, on the eastern coast of the island, 

 is completely open eastward ; it is indicated by the houses and stages 

 on its shingle beach ; a heavy sea rolls in after gales, and the fishing 

 stages are sometimes washed away. 



A rock lies close eastward of the southern stage. 



There is a mine on the northeastern side of this bight, and a tem- 

 porary wharf with a magazine near it. 



Bxirnt point is the easternmost point of Sunday Cove island : be- 

 hind it the land, densely wooded, rises quickly to the height of about 

 400 feet, the hills sloping gently toward Sunday cove. In this ridge, 

 at about 1 mile from Burnt point and a short distance from the coast, 

 some copper deposits are worked. 



Between Burnt point and Miles cove, a small bight southwestward 

 I mile from the point, there are several cottages and landing stages. 



Pilley island, eastward of Sunday Cove island, and separated 

 from it by a channel about 1,400 yards Avide, is about 5 miles long, 

 northward and southward, and 3 miles broad. There is a valuable 

 mine of iron pyrites in the southern part of the island. 



Long" Tickle point is the northwestern point of Pilley island; 

 from it the western coast of the island extends 4i miles southward 

 to the entrance to Flat Rock tickle. The coast is densely wooded 

 and, except off Short point at If miles southward from Long Tickle 

 point, it is clear of shoals.
