 Big island is in line with Tea Cove point, bearing 100°, proceed as 

 before. 



When entering the inner portion of the inlet, avoid a rock with 5 

 feet of water over it, bearing 290°, distant 300 yards from the north- 

 ern end of the islet, 128 feet high, on the southern side of its entrance, 

 by keeping close northward of the islet; the channel then passes 

 between Gooseberry islet and a patch of rocks 5 feet high, lying 

 300 yards to the northward; when within this islet and these rocks 

 anchor as convenient in 4 to 10 fathoms of water. Two considerable 

 streams run into the inlet, the banks of which dr^^ outward ^ mile.

 islets and rocks, and is open to the northeastward ; it has nothing to 

 recommend it to the seaman. 



Harbor rocks, southward ^ mile from the southern end of Big 

 island, are 37 feet high ; a reef extends north-northeastward 300 yards 

 from them. 



Thames Harbor point is separated from Harbor rocks by a chan-

 eastern end of a flat island 40 feet high, which has a channel between 

 it and the mainland 100 yards wide, where large fishing boats lie in 

 2 fathoms of water, but the southern entrance dries at low water. 



Goose cove, on the southern side of Shoal bay at 800 yards w^ithin 

 Thames Harbor point, extends about 800 yards to the southward and 

 is 200 yards wide, with 9 to 14 fathoms of water, rock bottom. Riff- 

 raffs rocks extend northward 250 yards from the western point of 

 Goose cove. 



The shore of Trinity bay from Thames Harbor point trends south-

 arm. Copper island, south-southeastward about 1,200 yards from 

 Thames Harbor point, is 82 feet high, and rocks extend southwest-

 Niagara point, south-southwestward, 3 miles from Copper island, is
