TINKER ISLAND MILL COVE. 467 



western shore is generally steep-to, but on its southeastern side are 

 numerous islets and shoal patches. 



Tinker island, small, rocky, and 54 feet high, lies 400 yards off- 

 shore at about 700 yards within the northwestern entrance point of 

 Northwest arm ; its southwestern end is foul and off the shore abreast 

 of it there is a patch of rocks, but there is a good passage about mid- 

 way between the island and the shore. 



Lannings cove, a small bight northwestward of Tinker island, 

 has some settlers' buildings and patches of cultivated land near it. 



Long island lies near the middle of Northwest arm south-south- 

 westward IjQ miles from Tinker island; it is 65 feet high and 

 wooded. A patch of rocks, which dries 1 foot at spring tides, bears 

 28°, distant GOO yards from its northern end, and is avoided b}^ keep- 

 ing the northwestern shore aboard. 



Budg-ell harbor, rather more than a mile west-southwestward of 

 Long island, is a bight fronted b}^ 2 islands, the largest of which 

 is separated from the mainland by a very narrow passage. There is 

 some foul ground on the northern side of the harbor, to avoid which 

 pass the small wooded island in the entrance close to. 



There is good anchorage in the harbor in about 15 fathoms, but 

 the space is very limited. 



An extensive pond lies immediately back of the northwestern shore 

 of this harbor, and a stream runs from it into the sea ; there is also a 

 small stream at the head of the harbor. 



Mussel Bed island is small and densely wooded with spruce. It 

 lies 100 yards oft' the northwestern shore of the bay at nearly 2 miles 

 southwestward of Budgell harbor; between this island and the shore 

 there is a shallow flat, with some rocks that dry, which continues 

 400 yards from the island on a bearing 31°. The southeastern side 

 of the island is steep-to. 



Mill cove is a small bight forming the head of Northwest arm. 

 Its entrance is divided by an islet lying toward the southern shore. 

 There is a good passage northward of this islet in mid-channel, but 

 that southward of it is foul. There is good anchorage in the cove 

 after passing the islet, which must not be approached nearer than 150 

 yards on its western side. 



A steam sawmill stands near the head of the cove, into which an 

 extensive pond empties. 



"West Hare island is on the southeastern side of Northwest arm 

 abreast of Mussel Bed island. Between it and the entrance to Mill 

 cove the shore is broken into several coves with off-lying islets, and 

 from one of these, at 1,100 yards southwestward of West Hare island, 

 a ridge of rocks extends northward 400 yards and to about 400 yards 

 from the northwestern shore.
