510 CAPE ST. JOHN TO CAPE BON AVISTA. 



Durrels arm and Farmers arm are two coves, separated by a nar- 

 row peninsula, situated at the head of a bight eastward of Twillin- 

 gate harbor. Rocks and shoals extend a considerable distance from 

 the shores and there is no safe anchorage for a large vessel. Small 

 craft, navigated by local fishermen, obtain shelter at the heads of the 

 arms, but a heavy sea rolls in with northerh' and easterly gales. 



Ragged point is situated on the west coast, about 1,200 yards 

 southward of Shoal tickle, and on its southern side is Rodney cove, 

 which is small and has Rodney rock, with less than 6 feet of water 

 over it, in its entrance. 



Bluff Head cove lies southward of Rodney cove, and affords an- 

 chorage for small craft in 4 to 6 fathoms water, eastAvard of a small 

 islet, 12 feet high, lying in the entrance. The best passage is north of 

 the island, as foul ground extends westward from Bluff head, the 

 southern entrance point to the cove. 



The coast southward of Bluff head has several coves in it. where 

 small craft obtain anchorage, with shelter from offshore winds ; small 

 islets lie off the entrance points. Local knowledge is necessary to 

 enter them. 



Moges point, off which foul ground extends about 400 yards, lie'=! 

 1^ miles southeastward from Bluff head, and at 1,200 yards eastward 

 of the point is Kiddle cove, a shallow boat harbor, marked by a con- 

 spicuous white house : an islet about 30 feet high lies in the entrance. 



Duck island is situated about 400 yards off Kiddle cove and it is 

 connected by rocks and shoal water with the northern part of Black 

 island, lying at a distance of ^ mile to the southeastward. 



Black island is about a mile long northeastward and southwest- 

 ward, 600 yards wide, and its southwestern end is 243 feet high; a 

 bare hill 135 feet high rises at the northeastern end, and falls to a low 

 isthmus at the head of Black Island harbor. This harbor, situated 

 westward of the northeastern end of Black island, is available for 

 large fishing boats. 



A rock, with 4 feet water over it, lies northward about 300 yards 

 from the northeastern end of Black island. 



Middle ground, bearing 311°, distant 1,200 yards from the western 

 end of Black island, is a rock with 4 feet water over it. Back Harbor 

 head, open westward of Bluff head, bearing 332°, leads westward of 

 the rock. 



Main tickle, the passage between South Twillingate island and 

 New World island, is much frequented by fishing vessels to avoid the 

 heavy sea northward of Twillingate islands when the wind is foul. 

 It is ^ mile wide at its southern entrance, between Vincent point and 

 Indian Cove head, which is its narrowest part. 



The western shore of Main tickle is bordered by rocks, some cover- 

 ing and others below water. Purcell harbor is situated on this shore,
