CHAKLES BROOK GOVEES HAEBOR. 485 



The shore between Winter tickle and Charles brook, at 2x% miles 

 to the southward, is broken into numerous bights and coves, and 

 fronted by small islands and rocks above water, amongst which are 

 several shoals. Mouse islet, southward, 900 yards from Granfer 

 islet, is 40 feet high; there is a rock of the same height 200 yards 

 southwestwarcl of it, and bearing 252° distant 350 yards from this 

 rock there is a rocky patch, the highest head of which dries 2 feet. 

 Southwestwarcl 1,700 yards from Mouse islet is a rock 12 feet high, 

 with a rock 18 feet high rather more than 200 yards westward of it. 



Burnt island, southward 600 yards from the rock, 18 feet high, is 

 400 yards long, east-northeastward and west-southwestward 200 yards 

 wide, and 130 feet high. It is cliify and wooded. There is a rock, 

 with 7 feet water over it, bearing 7°, distant 200 yards from the 

 northeastern point of the island, and bearing 10°, distant 235 yards 

 from the western point of the island is a rocky patch with 27 feet 

 water over it. A patch of 5 fathoms bears 183°, distant 250 yards 

 from the western point of the island. 



Sunday island, ^ mile southw^estward of Burnt island, is 700 j^ards 

 long, northward and southward, about 200 yards wide, and 70 feet 

 high ; it is less than 200 yards off the mainland, the channel between 

 being shallow and rock}^ ; at 135 yards off the middle of its eastern 

 side is a patch with 6 feet water over it. 



It is advisable to keep eastward of Mouse, Burnt, and Sunday 

 islands. 



Charles brook is a small stream running into the bay westward 

 of the southern end of Sunda}^ island. Anchorage may be obtained 

 off it in about 20 fathoms of w^ater, but it is very indifferent and is 

 not recommended. 



Govers harbor. — South-southeastward, 1,200 yards from Charles 

 brook and close offshore is an islet 30 feet high; Govers harbor is a 

 bight of the mainland extending southward, 700 yards from this islet. 

 Its entrance is clear, but the space available for anchorage inside is 

 very small. Bearing 22°, distant 200 yards from its eastern entrance 

 point, is a shoal with 2 fathoms water over it, and within 550 yards 

 northward of the northeastern end of the promontory on the eastern 

 side of Govers harbor are two rocks, 7 and G feet high, surrounded for 

 a short distance by shallow water. 



The shore from the northeastern point of the promontory east- 

 ward of Govers harbor trends south-southwestward for 1^ miles and 

 then south-southeastward for 1,300 yards, where an island connected 

 with the shore projects northeastward 350 yards. At 300 yards north- 

 eastward of this islet is Indian Cove island, small, 50 feet high, and 

 wooded. A shoal, on which are two rocks, 5 feet high, lies within 

 300 3^ards northward of the island.
