A small rock lies close to Lion's head, a projection on the eastern 

 shore of Kyer cove at 1 mile southwestward of Kj'^er Cove point. 



Shoal harbor, a bay of the mainland northwestward of Kver cove, 

 and about one mile southw^estward of the southwestern end of Duck 

 island, extends 1^ miles southwestward and has two small islets and 

 several rocks in it. There is a depth of 12 feet between these islets 

 and the southeastern side of the bay, which is therefore only -available 

 for small vessels. 



Mary harbor, at the head of a bay of the mainland, which is 

 situated 1^ miles northw^estward of Shoal harbor, and on the south- 

 ern side of Mary Harbor head, is small, with depths of 3 fathoms 

 over a part of it. and is only suitable for small vessels. In the outer 

 part of the bay there is more room and greater depths, but anchorage 

 is rendered unsafe by the occasional easterly swell. 



Tides. — It is high water, full and change, in ]\Iary harbor at 

 6h. 40m.; springs rise 3^ feet. 



Gull rocks, in the middle of St. Lewis sound, lying al9out 2 miles 

 east-northeastward from Club cape, are two islets close together 

 and 25 feet high. 



A bank of 5 fathoms lies ^ mile to the northwestward, and a bank 

 of 7 fathoms in the same direction distant 1.250 yards from the 

 western part of Gull rocks. 



Green island, eastward 1;^ miles from Club cape, is 51 feet high 

 and covered with grass. A reef extends northward 400 yards from 

 it, and a shoal, with 4^ fathoms over it, lies westward 200 yards from 

 the northern part of the island. Green Island bank, a large bank 

 with a depth of 7 fathoms over it, is situated east-northeastward 800 

 yards from Green island. 



Middle rocks extend southeastward about ^ mile from Green island ; 

 there are spaces between the rocks and between the island and the 

 rocks, but the group is almost connected, and should not be ap- 

 proached nearer than I mile. 



Banks. — Eskimo bank. Northern bank. Monday bank. Seventeen 

 Fathoms bank, and Blake ground lie in the entrance to St. Lewis 

 sound, and have depths of 10 to 17 fathoms of water over them. The 

 sea is reported to break in 14 fathoms and less of water in winter 

 gales. 



Battle islands lie on the southern side of the entrance to St. Lewis 

 sound. Great island, nearly round, about ^ mile across, and 158 feet 

 high, is the northernmost of these islands; it is unlike any of the 

 others, being a black and precipitous rock, with horizontal white 

 streaks seaward and a large white patch on its southwestern side. 



Double islands, about 1 mile southeastward of the rest of Battle 

 islands, are two in number and separated by a narrow channel. The
