Bald head, southward 2 miles from the entrance to Heartsease, is 

 a bold clifly bliilf , 489 feet high ; a valley runs at its back parallel to 

 the coast, giving it a remarkable semi-isolated appearance. 



St. Jones head, south-southwestward about 2 miles from the 

 southern part of Bald head, is 612 feet high, bold and cliffy, and 

 about halfway between them is Round harbor. 



Round harbor, — The entrance to this little harbor, about 100 

 yards wide, in the straight cliffy coast which extends on either side 

 of it, is not easily recognized until close to the land, when the south 

 head, a small peninsula 210 feet high, projecting northward, can be 

 seen against the higher land behind it. The harbor is less than 400 

 yards long and 200 yards wide, with a depth of 3 to 5 fathoms of 

 water, mud bottom. 



The shore of Trinity bay from St. Jones head trends about west- 

 southwestward for | mile, and then southward for I-^-q miles to North 

 head of St. Jones harbor. 



Seal island, south-southwestward, about ^ mile from St. Jones 

 head and 100 yards from the shore, is in two parts, the northern 60 

 feet high and the southern 148 feet, joined by a low neck, on which 

 are several rocky hummocks. A ridge, with 3 fathoms water over it, 

 connects this island to the mainland. 



St. Jones islet, bearing 125°, distant 1,300 yards from North head 

 of St. Jones harbor, is 67 feet high and inaccessible; it is steep-to

 water about 100 yards northward and southward from it. 



St. Jones harbor is a narrow inlet which extends westward nearly 

 3 miles, and when on this bearing its steej) shores appear as cliff 

 behind cliff to the head. Crown hill, steep and rugged, rises to 

 the height of 820 feet at the head of the harbor, and conical hills 

 rise abruptly from the land northward of the harbor. 



At 1^ miles within the entrance the harbor narrows to 135 yards, 

 and has a depth of 4| fathoms for about ^ mile, when it opens out 

 to the head, which forms two bays. There are some small islets and 

 rocks for 135 yards off the eastern shore of the southern bay, leaving 

 an anchorage, about 300 yards across, westward of them, with 4 to 7 

 fathoms water, mud bottom. 



The western bay is about 600 yards long, northward and south- 

 ward, and 400 yards wide, with 4 to 9 fathoms water, mud bottom.
