Pilley cove. — Fox head is the northern entrance point of Fox 

 cove, and at 1,600 yards northwestward of the head is Pilley cove, an 

 inlet extending west-southwestward 400 yards, and 350 yards across, 

 which affords anchorage to small vessels. Sunken rocks lie close to 

 both entrance points and the southern side is foul, but the shingle 

 beach at the head is bold-to. To enter, keep one-third of the dis- 

 tance between the entrance points from the northwestern entrance 

 point, and anchor nearer the northern than the southern shore in
