668 EAST COAST OF LABRADOR. 



False cape, northwestward ^ mile from ISIain cape, is the outer end 

 of the western side of Cape cove, which extends 800 yards to the 

 southward; is open and wild, and has a deep valley at its head. A 

 small rock lies off False cape, and it is bold-to. 



First point is west-northwestward 1^ miles from False cai:)e, and 

 between these points are deep coves; Island cove, the nearest one to 

 False cape, has a white islet, 65 feet high, in the entrance ; it is 350 

 yards in extent and shoal within the island, and alfords indili'erent 

 shelter for boats. 



St. Michael bay — Scrammy bay, the first bight westward of 

 First point, is partially sheltered, except from the northward and 

 northeastward, by Pinsent island, 67 feet high, which lies off it ; this 

 bay is much resorted to for drying fish. Vessels generally anchor 

 southwestward of and between Pinsent island and the mainland, 

 and southeastward of Scrammy island. 



Lazy bank, with 5i fathoms of water over it, lies north-northeast- 

 ward, 350 yards from Pinsent island. 



Pinsent rock, situated northwestward 300 yards from Pinsent 

 island, is 2 feet high and bold-to on the northwestern side. Hussy 

 rock, with 10 feet of water over it, lies eastward 200 yards from it. 



Lump rock, southwestward 800 yards from Pinsent rock and 200 

 yards offshore, is awash at low water. George cove, southwestward 

 of this rock, is clear and affords good shelter for boats. 



Pinsent arm, west-southwestward 2 miles from Pinsent rock, is 

 clear outside the narrows. The southern shore rises to mossy hills, 

 backed by the highest range on the southern part of the eastern coast 

 of Labrador, the summit of which is 895 feet high. The northern 

 shore is a peninsula 56 feet high, with an islet 35 feet high at its 

 northeastern end. 



The narrows lie between two hillocks, the northern 58 feet and 

 the southern 46 feet high. At the summit of the northern hillock is 

 a flagstaff, at the base a white house, and off it are two low islets. 

 Off the southern hillock is a rock that covers 3 feet, narrowing the 

 entrance to 100 yards. The channel is foul, and it must not be at- 

 tempted without a pilot, but good anchorage for small craft may 

 be obtained in 54 to 7^ fathoms of water, sand bottom, near the 

 northern shore just within the house. 



Long- island, westward 1;^ miles from First point, is 102 feet high 

 and appears as a cone from the southeastward, but as two hummocks 

 from the southwestward, the southeastern being 106 feet high. An 

 islet is joined at low water to the northern part of its northwestern 

 end, northwestward 250 yards from which is a rock that covers at 

 half tide, northwestward 500 yards a bank with 5| fathoms, and east- 

 southeastward distant nearly 200 yards a shoal with 12 feet of water 

 over it.
