:north harbor — little grego island. 483 



It is densely wooded and is visited in nutumn by people from Twill- 

 ingate (Toulinguet) and Fogo for firewood. 



Between Upper Black island and Hnmmock island there is a shelf 

 on which the depths are somewhat irregular, and which has on it a 

 shoal head of 8 fathoms bearing 228°, distant 600 yards from the 

 southeastern of the islets southward of Hummock island ; a rock with 

 26 feet of water over it bearing 11°, distant ^ mile from the north- 

 eastern point of Upper Black island ; and a rock with 16 feet of water 

 over it bearing 22°, distant 265 yards from the same point. 



X rock with 4 fathoms water over it bears 205°, distant 300 yards 

 from the western of the southern extremities of Upper Black island, 

 and there is a patch of 5 fathoms lying 450 yards o& its southeastern 

 coast at ^ mile east-northeastward from the eastern of the southern 

 extremities of that coast. 



Tidal streams. — Between Tapper Black and Hummock island the 

 streams follow the coast of Hummock island and frequently cause 

 eddies and rips over the shelf between them. 



The western shore of the bay of Exploits from Little North 

 harbor trends southeastward ^ mile to North Harbor head, which is 

 steep-to and rises to the height of 430 feet, with a conspicuous stone 

 cairn on its summit, and thence south-southwestw^ard, 1,400 yards to 

 Dock point, the northern entrance point of North harbor. 



North harbor is a bight extending about 1,400 yards westward 

 from its entrance between Dock point and Birchy head, which are 400 

 yards apart in a northerly and southerly direction. The water in 

 the harbor decreases in depth from 22 fathoms in the entrance to 8 

 fathoms near its head. A heavj^ swell occasionally rolls into the 

 outer portion of the harbor, while the space in the inner part is very 

 limited; small vessels, however, anchor here in 10 to 11 fathoms. 

 There is a small settlement and some cultivated land around the 

 harbor. 



Muddy Hole point lies 1.100 yards south-southeastward of Birchy 

 head, and there are two small coves between them'. The point is low 

 and prominent. 



Great Muddy hole, lying ^ mile west-southwestward of Muddy 

 hole point, is a narrow bight, extending | mile to the westward; it 

 is well sheltered from the heavy ground swell that rolls up the bay 

 during strong northerly winds, but owing to the small depth of 

 water, it only affords anchorage to very small craft. 



Little Grego island, lying southward 800 yards from the south- 

 em entrance point of Great Muddy hole and close to the shore, 

 is about 300 yards in diameter and 145 feet high. A small rocky 

 patch, with 19 feet water over it, bears 198°, distant 400 yards from
