anchorages, but only the main or eastern channel is available without 

 local knowledge. 



There is a small settlement in a bight at 400 yards southward of 

 Thimble Tickle head, and another in a small cove 800 yards farther 

 southward. 



Goat island, small and low, lies about 200 yards southeastward of 

 this cove ; there is sheltered anchorage southeastward of the island in 

 IT fathoms with the end of Thimble Tickle head a little open eastward 

 of the island. 



Gull island, about 200 yards across and 62 feet high, lies north- 

 ward 900 yards from Thimble Tickle head; shoal water extends 70 

 yards westward and southeastward of the island, and a bank with 7 

 fathoms water over it stretches northeastward 300 yards from it. 



Glover harbor entrance is 50 yards wide in its narrowest part, 

 though a least depth of 5^ fathoms can be carried through the chan- 

 nel. In the harbor within the narrows there is very good and per- 

 fectly sheltered anchorage. 



Directions. — To enter Glover harbor or the bay westward of it, 

 pass between Gull and Ward islands and close to the southern point 

 of Ward island, which is steep-to ; then steer for the cliffs over Cum- 

 lins cove. When past the northern end of a thickly-wooded island, 

 which end rises to a sharp summit 164 feet high, steer southward 

 through the main channel, keeping nearly midway between the island 

 and the mainland, avoiding a shoal patch off Cumlins cove, and direct 

 for the narrow entrance of Glover harbor, eastward of a wooded 

 promontory terminating in a rocky point. 



Keep close along the coast of this peninsula until almost abreast 

 the northwestern end of a small wooded islet, 25 feet high, lying in 

 the middle of the channel, when haul a little to the eastward to clear 

 a rock, with 15 feet water over it, extending from some rocks, 1 foot 

 high, on the western side of the channel. 



With a favorable light the 15-foot rock can be seen, and when 

 past it continue toward a small wooded islet, 13 feet high, adjoining a 

 point extending from the southern side of the harbor, to clear a rock, 

 with 15 feet water over it, lying a little eastward of the middle of 

 the harbor. When 200 yards from the islet, turn to the eastward and 

 anchor as convenient in 10 fathoms, mud bottom. 



A few houses are situated around the shore of the harbor and some 

 extensive ponds lie behind the shore ridge. 



To enter the western bay, round the southern end of the island 

 lying abreast of Cumlins cove, and, keeping in mid-channel, steer 

 toward Goat island, anchoring southward of it in 17 fathoms. 



The western tickle has several rocks in it, and it should not be 

 attempted without local knowledge. The leading mark given in the
