 entrance to the tickle, with a clear passage on both sides. 



Little harbor, at the head of Little Harbor bight, northwestward 

 of Big Head, the western entrance point of Main tickle, is available 

 only for small vessels. Two rocks lie in the middle of the entrance, 

 and the best passage is between them, but there is also a channel close

 fine weather are required to enter it. 



Byrne and Little Byrne coves, around which there are a few 

 houses, are situated in New World island at f mile eastward of the

 Byrne cove. 



The entrance to the coves is southward of the islet, 7 feet high,

 both the coves are foul, but there is anchorage in the entrance in S to 

 10 fathoms water. 



Indian cove, divided from Little Byrne cove bj^ a promontory, on
