484 GAPE ST. JOHN TO CAPE BONAVISTA. 



the southwestern point of the ishmd, and less than 400 yards east- 

 ward of this patch the depth is upward of 50 fathoms. 



Baptist cove, southwestward, rather over a mile from Little Grego 

 island, is a small inlet only suitable for the small craft which occa- 

 sionally visit it for firewood. 



Lawrence harbor.- — Lawrence head bears 166°, distant 1,600 

 yards from the southern entrance point of Baptist cove, and from 

 between them Lawrence harbor extends southwestward 1^ miles. A 

 projection from the northern side of the harbor narrows it to 400 

 yards, and within this projection the harbor forms two bights, the 

 southwestern of which is obstructed by a patch of rocks, which dries 

 2 feet. The northern bight is shallow at its head, but it affords in- 

 different anchorage in 18 to 20 fathoms, rock bottom covered with 

 mud and sand. There are no settlers here. 



Lawrence head, 210 feet high, is densely wooded and not very 

 conspicuous as it is backed by higher land. 



High Grego island lies southward 1,700 yards from the southern 

 point of Lawrence head, and nearly ^ mile offshore. It is about ^ 

 mile long northward and southward, 600 yards wide. 309 feet high, 

 and the eastern side rises almost vertically, rendering it conspicuous. 

 Two small rocks, 6 and 7 feet high, lie 265 yards northeastward of the 

 island and 265 yards apart in an easterly and westerly direction. 

 There is fair anchorage between the island and the mainland in 12 

 fathoms, sand bottom. 



The shore southwestward of Lligh Grego island is fronted by two 

 islands connected at low water, and separated from the mainland by 

 a narrow and shallow passage. Southwestward | mile from these 

 islands, and lying nearly 200 yards off the south-southwestern end of 

 the peninsula of which Lawrence head is the northeastern end, is 

 Granfer islet, about 400 yards long, eastward and westward, 100 

 yards wide, 75 feet high, and wooded. 



Winter tickle. — At about ^ mile westward of Granfer islet is an 

 islet 90 feet high, situated close off' the end of a peninsula of the 

 mainland. The entrance to Winter tickle is between these islets, 

 and the tickle extends thence northward 1^^ miles. There are sev- 

 eral small islets in the tickle, and its shores are fronted by shoal 

 water; toward its head the bottom is covered with thick weed. From 

 the head of the tickle, a narrow channel, through Avhich the tidal 

 streams run with considerable strength, leads into a large salt water 

 pond.. There is a winter portage from the northern part of the 

 tickle across the land to Indian cove of New bay. 



There is good anchorage in the tickle in 10 to 11 fathoms 600 

 yards inside Granfer islet. In entering give the western end of the 

 island a berth of 200 vards.
