HAEBOE GEACE DIRECTIONS. 593 



Bar. — At about 1^ mi-les southwestward of Feather point a bar 

 stretches across the harbor; the greatest depth over it is 24 feet in 

 the main channel, and the least depth 9 feet over a bowlder bank 

 forming the southeastern side of the main channel ; there is a depth 

 of 13 feet between this bank and the southeastern shore of the har- 

 bor. In heavy weather the sea breaks on the shoal part of the bar, 

 but seldom in the 24-foot channel. 



Light. — A white hexagonal liglithouse, 38 feet high, on point of 

 Beach, a shingle point on the northwestern side of the harbor at ^ 

 mile inside of the bar, exhibits, at 40 feet above high water, a fixed 

 red light, which should be seen from a distance of 6 miles in clear 

 weather, but it is obscured bj^ Salvage rock on the bearing 233°. 



Buoys. — A white hnoj is moored on the western edge of the 

 Bowlder bank. 



A red buoy is moored on the southeastern edge of the shoal ground, 

 extending off the northwestern shore, in 11 feet of water, with Point 

 of Beach lighthouse bearing 240°, distant 400 yards. 



As tliese buoj^s are moored with small anchors, their positions can 

 jiot be relied upon; during w^inter they are replaced by spar buoys. 



Anchorage. — The harbor is safe, and the best anchorage is on the 

 northwestern shore, as at times the sea is rough on the southeastern 

 side. Westerly winds are the strongest, and occasionally have much 

 force. 



Directions. — To enter Harbor Grace, bring the spires of the 

 Roman Catholic church open northward of Salvage rock, bearing 

 242°, which mark leads about 400 yards northwestward of White 

 rock, and, when Eastern rock bears 150°, steer in mid-channel, pass- 

 ing southward of Salvage rock. Then bring the lighthouse on point 

 of Beach in line with Ship head, a hill 98 feet high on the same shore 

 1^ miles within it, bearing 242°, which mark leads across the bar in 

 24 feet of water. When the western shoulder of Greens hill (443 feet 

 high) is in line with the western spire of the Roman Catholic church, 

 bearing 304°, the vessel is southwestward of the Bowlder bank, and 

 should then steer with Long Harry in line with the extreme of the 

 land northeastward of it, bearing 41°, to clear the shoal water off 

 the northwestern shore; point of Beach is steep-to on its southern 

 side. 



The channel northward of Salvage rock can be taken if desired. 



When working in, Brennans hill, southward of Greens hill and 392 

 feet high, in line with the eastern spire of the Roman Catholic church, 

 bearing 282°, leads northward, and the western shoulder of Greens 

 hill, in line with the western spire of the same church, bearing 304°, 

 leads southwestward of the Bowlder bank. In crossing the bar, do 

 not shut in the point northeastward of Long Harry witli that rock,
