LONG POINT WILD COVE. 507 



northeastward from the end of this shoal is Northeast rock, with 4 

 fathoms of water over it. Gunning rock, 33 feet high, lies close west- 

 AAard of the southern end of the island and is connected to it by shoal 

 water. Friary ledge, bearing 230'^, distant 300 yards from Gunning 

 rock, has 2 fathoms of water over it, Avith 5^ fathoms at 150 yards to 

 the southeastward. 



Hig-h Shag rock, 86 feet high, is 200 yards northwestward of 

 Gunning rock; west-north Avestward, about 200 yards from High 

 shag, is West Shag rock, 33 feet high, 100 yards southeastward of 

 Avhich and connected by shoal AA^ater is Low Shag rock. There is 

 deep water around the Shag rocks, but not between them ; and there is 

 a deep channel between Friary ledge and Sleepy Cove Gull island on 

 the one side and Xorth island on the other side. 



Long point is the outer termination of a line of Ioaa' bare rocks 

 extending northeastAvard 600 yards from the northern end of North 

 island; the Pinnacle, a conspicuous conical cliff 153 feet high, is at 

 the inner end of the rocks. 



Devils Cove head, close southeastward of Long point, is inacces- 

 sible from the sea, falling in steep cliffs to the water's edge except 

 immediately under the lighthouse, AA'here there is a landslip. Near 

 the base of the landslip is a reddish rock, the only slab of that color 

 on the outer coasts in this locality. The approach to the head is 

 bold, and there is no appreciable change in the depth of Avater till 

 AA'ithin a short distance from it. 



Light. — A red octagonal lighthouse, 49 feet high, Avith a square 

 base and a circular lantern, on Devils CoA^e head, exhibits, at 331 feet 

 above high water, a revolving white light that attains its greatest 

 brilliancy every thirty seconds, and should be seen from a distance 

 of 21 miles in clear weather. The keeper's dwelling, close to the light- 

 house, is painted white, with a red roof. 



Signals. — Devils Cove head lighthouse is supplied with the Inter- 

 national code signals. 



Cuckold point lies 1 mile southeastAA^ard from Long point, and 

 the coast betAA-een is rocky and broken. 



Twillingate harbor, entered through a passage 900 yards wide 

 between Cuckold point and Burnt island, is a little more than 2 miles 

 in length from the entrance, diminishing in Avidth gradually to the 

 head, Avhere a canal through Shoal tickle, having a depth of about 

 10 feet in it at high water, is crossed by a draAvbridge. 



Wild cove is on the AA-estern side of the harbor at ^ mile soutliAA^nrd 

 of Cuckold point and is bordered by shoal water to the distance of 

 200 yards. AVild CoA'e rocks, some of which are aboA^e Avater, are 

 southeastward of the cove, the outer patch of 3 fathoms being nearly 

 400 yards offshore-
