which is a small cone GO feet high ; from this to the anchorage, there 

 are no shoals on the northwestern shore. 



A rock, with 1^ feet water over it, lies nearly in the middle of the 

 arm at 5 mile from the narrow entrance of the shoal arm. 



Small vessels drawing 11 feet water enter the shoal arm, by keep- 

 ing close to the northwestern entrance point, to avoid the rocky 

 ground extending across the channel toward this point from the islet 

 that lies in the middle of the entrance; when inside the point, ap- 

 proach the northwestern shore and anchor in smooth water; above 

 the islet the deep water is on the southeastern shore, the northwestern 

 being shoal and rocky. 



Lobster islet, south-southwestward 1 mile from Jacks island, and 

 I mile off the nearest land, is small, 10 feet high, and foul all around 

 for nearly 200 yards; Brandies rock, northeastAvard 600 yards from 

 Lobster islet, is awash at low water. 



Milliners arm, southwestward ^ mile fi-om Lobster islet, is rocky, 

 open northeastward, and does not afford anchorage. 



Dram island, southward, 1:^ miles from Lobster islet, is small and 

 30 feet high. 



Nine-pin arm, west-southwestward a little more than 2 miles from 

 Dram island, is full of rocks, and its eastern point is foul for the dis-

Beaver cove, situated in the mainland 2 miles southward from 

 Currans Green Field island, is divided into two arms by a low rocky 

 islet; the northeastern arm is full of stones; the southwestern is 400 

 yards wide and 800 yards in extent, with good anchorage in 3 to 6 

 fathoms water, mud bottom; a rock, that covers at a quarter flood, 

 lies eastward 100 yards from the western point of this arm. 



Beaver head, northeastward 1 mile from Beaver cove, is a steep 

 bluff 180 feet high. 



Little Beaver cove, northeastward 1^ miles from Beaver head, 

 extends southwestward ^ mile with a breadth of 400 yards, and the 

 water in it is 4 to 8 fathoms in de]3th, but it does not afford anchor-

 the northward. 



Farewell Duck islands, northeastward 2-5 miles from the en- 

 trance point of Little Beaver cove, form a long rugged promontory, 

 terminating in a small islet just awash at high w^ater. Farewell reef,
