452 CAPE ST. JOHN TO CAPE BONAVISTA. 



joined to the middle part b}" a low neck of gi^avel, and the eastern is 

 connected only at low water. Shoals extend in places about 200 

 yards off the islands, and a rock with less than 6 feet over it, bears 5°, 

 distant 210 yards from the eastern point of the eastern island. 



Suleyann rock, 9 feet high, bears 329°, distant 1,600 yards from 

 the western point of Oil islands. A shoal, on which there is a rock 

 above water, extends nearly 200 yards eastward and southeastward 

 from Suleyann rock. 



The coast of Long island from the peninsula forming Lush bight 

 trends north-northwestward for 1 mile to its northwestern point; it 

 then turns northeastward for 1^ miles to Western head of Ward 

 harbor. Flint islands, small and 50 to 75 feet high, with rocks lying 

 200 yards off them, are situated about 200 yards off the coast and 

 1,200 yards northeastward from the northwestern point. 



Western Head rock, a patch with 6 feet water over it, bears 270°, 

 distant GOO yards from Western head. 



Ward harbor, around which there is a small settlement, is entered 

 eastward of Western head, and affords good anchorage for vessels 

 drawing less than 10 feet water; the passage is midway between 

 Cross islet, small, castellated, and 32 feet high, in the middle of the 

 entrance, and the eastern shore. A reef extends from the western side 

 of the harbor southward of Cross islet, and a sunken rock lies close 

 northward of the eastern entrance point. 



Cutwell harbor, which has a small settlement on its northern side, 

 lies between Giles and Otter islands. It is ^ mile across, and the 

 depth of water decreases gradually from Itt fathoms in the middle to 

 the line of shoal water which lies about 50 yards from the shore. 



Cutwell arm, an anchorage available for small vessels, is entered 

 southward of Otter island; the passage, narrowed to a breadth of 40 

 yards by shoal water extending from either side, should not be at- 

 tempted without a pilot. 



Tides. — It is high water, full and change, in Cutwell harbor, at 

 7h. 6m. ; springs rise 4^ feet, neaps 3 feet, 



Hardrix or Seal island rises to several conspicuous cones covered 

 with wood, the highest being 294 feet high. 



Wild big-ht, southward of Hardrix island, affords no safe anchor- 

 age; there are some patches of 9 to 20 fathoms in it, but the only 

 shoals are a few rocks close to the shore. 



Southern head, the eastern end of Long island, rises in almost 

 perpendicular cliffs to wooded hills, 437 to 513 feet high, and South- 

 ern Head islet, a bare rock 42 feet high, lies close to its northern side. 



Iiig-ht. — A white circular tower, 33 feet high, on Southern head, 

 exhibits at 103 feet above high water, a fixed white light, which 

 should be seen from a distance of 15 miles in clear weather. The 

 keeper's dwelling, painted white, is connected with the tower by a
