498 CAPE ST. JOHN TO CAPE BONAYISTA. 



Rock. — At 400 yards west-southwestward of Xet Cove head there 

 is a small rock with 13 feet water over it, and deep water around. 

 Chapel head open westward of Duck island leads westward of this 

 rock. 



Comfort head. — The higher of the bluffs northward of Net Cove 

 head forms the western side of a small bay, the eastern side of which 

 is Comfort head, a steep wooded bluff. Off the head is Comfort 

 island, steep and densely wooded, and there is a clear passage between 

 them, the deepest water being near the head. 



Knight island is 1,600 yards northward of Camel island, and 

 between them there are two small wooded islets and some rocks which 

 dry. There is a good passage between the southern of these islets and 

 Camel island ; a shoal with 3 feet water over it off the northern end 

 of Camel island must be avoided by keeping toward the islet. 



Knight island is thickly wooded and rises, near its northern end, 

 to the height of 280 feet. Its Avestern side is steep-to, but near the 

 middle of its eastern side and 400 yards off, there is a shoal with 10 

 feet water over it. 



A small shallow harbor is situated on the western side of the 

 island, and there is another at its northern end: both are frequeiitod 

 by lobster fishermen during summer. 



Yellow Fox island lies li miles northeastward from Knight 

 island, and between them there are several small islets and rocks. 

 Squire islet, nearly midway and the largest of these islets, is wooded 

 except at its northern end, which is bare. There are clear passages 

 on either side of Yellow Fox island, but the passage between Knight 

 island and the islet southward of Squire is foul. Reefs extend south- 

 southeastward and west-southwestward of Yellow Fox island; the 

 southern side of the island must not be approached within a small 

 wooded islet about 600 yards off it, or the western side within the 

 same distance. 



Sansom islands, lying about 1 mile north-northwestward of 

 Yellow Fox island, consist of two large islands separated by a channel 

 with an average width of 400 yards, and several small ones. The 

 islands are of moderate height and densely wooded. Sugarloaf islet, 

 the southernmost of the group, is 214 feet high, and its western side 

 is steep and cliffy: there is a deep clear passage between it and the 

 large island to the northward. 



The eastern and southwestern sides of this large island are steep- 

 to, but there are some shoal patches off its northeastern and western 

 sides. There many rocks northward of the group and this locality 

 should not be used for navigation. 



Sansom tickle, the channel between the lart.^er islands, has an 

 average width of 400 yards: a patch of rocks, the highest of Avhich is 

 JO feet high, occupies the western end, but there is a clear passage
