BLACK BROOK BEAVER ROCK. 577 



Black brook runs into the head of Southwest arm, and there is 

 anchorage in 3 to 10 fathoms of water, mud bottom, at ^ mile from 

 its mouth. 



Long- island, southward 1,200 yards from West Random head, is 

 f mile long, north-northeastward and west-southwestward, 350 yards 

 wide, and 132 feet high. 



Green islets, a little more than ^ mile northeastward of Long 

 island, with 3^ fathoms of water between, and about the same distance 

 southeastward from West Random head, comprise a group of flat- 

 topped islets, 63 feet high. 



Heartsease ledge extends east-southeastward | mile from Green 

 islets, and has 2^ to 10 fathoms of water over it. The northern 

 extreme of West Random head open northeastward of its north- 

 eastern end, bearing 277°, leads northward; and Duck island, open 

 eastward of East Random head, bearing 30°, leads eastward of the 

 ledge. 



White rocks, southeastward IjV miles from the southern point of 

 Long island, are 9 feet high, and a few yards in extent. At 200 yards 

 westward of them is a rock on which the sea generally breaks, and at 

 I mile in the same direction the depth is less than 10 fathoms; on the 

 northern and eastern sides the rocks are steep-to. Heartsease church, 

 open south westward of Long island, bearing about 315°. leads south- 

 Avestward of the rocks. 



Heartsease is an inlet extending southwestward about 2 miles, 

 with depths decreasing from 24 fathoms at the entrance to shallow 

 water at its head. Heartsease point, the northeastern entrance point, 

 is a small peninsula connected to the mainland by a neck of shingle, 

 9 feet high, and a hundred feet up the hill northwestward of it is the 

 church, in appearance an ordinary large house, isolated and con- 

 spicuous. 



The breadth of the inlet, for nearly one mile within the entrance, 

 is 400 yards, with depths of 10 to 18 fathoms, mud bottom; then about 

 200 yards, for another mile, with 7 to 10 fathoms, mud bottom. At 

 the head of the inlet is a pond. The only shoals in the inlet are two 

 rocks, each with 2 feet of water over it, on the northwestern shore 

 opposite the southwestern entrance point. A swell sets into the 

 entrance with northeasterly gales, but not with sufficient force to 

 aifect a A^essel anchored off Ganny cove, on the northwestern shore at 

 i mile within the entrance. 



Beaver rock, bearing 215°, distant nearly 1| miles from White 

 rocks, has 3 fathoms of water over it. West Random head, open of 

 the northeastern point of Long island, bearing 357°, leads eastward 

 of the rock.
