TORBAY BIGHT LOGY COVE. 601 



abruptly to the height of 446 and 444 feet, Avith two smaller cliffs, 

 282 and 72 feet high, respectively, about ^ mile farther southwest- 

 ward, and thence to Torbay bight, at the southwestern end of the bay, 

 the shore line is broken by deep gulches. 



Torbay bight, where there is a large settlement, is greatly used by 

 fishermen, and landing can generally be effected. A quarter of a mile 

 inland, southeastward from the head of the bight, there is a Roman 

 Catholic church, which is a square stone building without a spire; 

 and close to it are a convent and a temperance hall. These con- 

 spicuous buildings are nearly obscured when in line with a clump of 

 trees over Snagge point. 



There is anchorage in the bight, open eastward, in 12 fathoms, 

 southward of a small beach on the northern shore. 



The shore from Torbay bight to Torbay point is generally rugged, 

 with broken cliffs between Middle and Outer coves; landing may be 

 effected here except with northerly winds, which send in a heavy 

 swell. The hills, at the back of Tor bay, are covered with houses, 

 generally white. 



Torbay point has a small summit, 287 feet high, just southward of 

 it, and 800 yards farther southward the land rises to a hill 537 feet 

 high. 



Tantam shoals. — A rocky ledge, Avith depths of 5 to 30 fathoms 

 of water over it, extends northward 1,700 yards from Torbay point. 

 The outer patch, with 7 fathoms of water over it, bears 1°, distant f 

 mile from Torbay point, and Tantam rock, with 5 fathoms of water 

 over it, bears 12°, distant 800 yards from the point. Tantam rock 

 breaks with a moderate sea, and the 7-fathom patches break in heavy 

 weather. 



The coast from Torbay point trends south-southeastward for ly^^ 

 miles to Redcliff head, which is bold with steep cliffs of a reddish 

 color ; there is a deep gulch on its northern side and another on its 

 southern side, and one of these, depending on the light, is generally 

 seen as a black band down the face of the cliff'. 



Redhead rock, bearing 20°. distant ^ mile from Eedcliff head, is 

 small nnd has a depth of 5 fathoms of water over it. 



The coast from Redcliff head trends southward for 1^ miles to 

 Logy cove. 



Torbay hill, situated 1,400 yards southward from Redcliff head, 

 and locally known as Flagstaff hill, on account of the old signal 

 station connecting cape St. Francis and St. Johns having been 

 situated on it, is 653 feet high, has bold cliffs in front of it, and a 

 consi^icuous yellow patch, nearly at the top of the cliff, just north- 

 ward of the summit of the hill. 



Logy cove, used by fishermen during summer, is a small cove with 

 deep water. Boats land here in a small niche in the rocks, where
