472 CAPE ST. JOHN TO CAPE BONAVISTA. 



rocks above water, extends northwestward 250 yards from its north- 

 ern point. 



To enter the arm approach with the island 25 feet high bearing 

 about 126°, pass 300 yards from the rocks 3 feet high, and between 

 them and the rock with If fathoms water over it, then steer for the 

 southern end of the islands southeastward of Indian point, and when 

 200 yards distant head about 1G0° into the arm. The arm should not 

 be entered without local knowledge. 



Indian and Little Indian coves lie northward of Ritters cove 

 and eastward of Indian point. Indian cove is the more eastern, and 

 from it there is a short portage to a pond, and from that another 

 short portage to Exploits haj. 



The shore of the bay from Indian point trends northward for 4 

 miles to Southeast Arm point, and there is deep water at the distance 

 of 400 yards from it. There are several small coves, but nearly all 

 of them are shoal. 



Southeast arm runs in east-southeastward 1,000 yards on the 

 northeastern side of Southeast Arm point and then turns northward 

 for about i mile ; although its area is limited, it is the best anchorage 

 in the locality for vessels of any size. A rocky shoal, with 4^ feet 

 over it, lies in the entrance at 400 yards northward from Southeast 

 Arm point ; to avoid it keep close to the point. A shoal extends 200 

 yards southward from Yates point, the low bluff head on the north- 

 ern side of the entrance. Vessels may anchor within Yates point as 

 convenient. 



There are a few settlers around this ann, and a road connects it 

 with Cuttle cove. 



Cuttle island lies northwestward 335 yards from the northern end 

 of the promontory which separates Southeast arm and Cuttle cove. 

 The island is 550 yards long northwestward and southeastward, 300 

 yards wide, and 140 feet high ; a reef on which there is a rock 4 feet 

 high, extends northwestward 250 yards from the island, but it is 

 otherwise nearly steep-to, and the channels between it and the main- 

 land are deep and clear. 



Cuttle cove lies southeastward of Cuttle island. A rocky shelf, 

 near the outer end of which is a rock that dries 3 feet at low water, 

 extends 200 yards off the northeastern side of the cove, to clear which 

 keep toward the southwestern shore. This cove is open northwest- 

 ward and is not recommended as an anchorage. 



There are several settlers here and some patches of cultivated land. 



Yellow Fox island lies close to the shore northeastward of Cuttle 

 island. It is about 200 yards in length and 60 feet high. 



Moores cove lies inside of Yellow Fox island. In it are some 

 houses and a wharf, but the cove is very shallow and fit only for 

 boats.
