SCRAPE COVE STAG ISLAND. 679 



A rock, with 4 feet of water over it, bears 219°, distant 550 

 yards from the eastern Tiirr rock. Bear island, open on one side of 

 the western Turr rock, leads westward, and open on the other side, 

 leads eastward of it. A shoal, with 6 fathoms of water over it, bears 

 121°, distant 250 yards from the eastern Turr rock, and a rock with 

 12 feet of water over it bears 28°, distant 200 yards from the western 

 Turr rock. 



Scrape cove, northwestward 700 yards from Penguin head, is 1,100 

 yards deep and 700 yards wide at the entrance. The shores are bold 

 crags and the water is too deep for anchorage; rocks that cover lie 

 in the cove at 200 yards from the northwestern entrance point. 



Penguin harbor, northwestward about ^ mile from Scrape cove, 

 is divided into two arms by Greens island, a rugged dark cliffy conical 

 hill 124 feet high. The southeastern arm is open, but the northwest- 

 ern arm is ^ mile deep, 150 yards wide and affords anchorage for fish- 

 ing craft in 3 to 5 fathoms of water; there is also excellent shelter 

 for boats. 



Harper island, northwest Avard 1,100 yards from Greens island, 

 and separated from Hawke island at high Avater by a narrow channel 

 filled with bowlders, is 216 feet high. 



There is anchorage, in 8 fathoms, off a small islet northwestward of 

 the channel between Hawke and Harper islands. 



Bear island, the southeastern island of a group lying parallel to 

 the northeastern coast of Hawke island, is 88 feet high. A bare flat 

 rock just above high water lies close off the southeastern end. 



A rock, with 7 feet of water over it, bears 137°, distant about 600 

 yards, and a rock, with 4 feet of w^ater over it, bears 182°, distant 400 

 yards, from the rock at the southern end of Bear island. Harper 

 island, well open southward of Stag island, bearing about 284°, leads 

 southwestward ; the eastern point of Holloway bight seen between 

 Turr rocks, bearing 196°, leads eastward; and Fish point, w^ell open 

 northeastward of Bear island, bearing 309°, leads northeastward of 

 these rocks. 



Stag" island lies westward 150 yards from Bear island, with a 

 clear channel between; its summits are two hills, separated by a 

 deep ravine, the eastern 294 feet and the western 291 feet high. Duck 

 cove, near the northwestern end, is shallow and suitable for boats 

 only. 



Old Jeff island, westward 100 yards from Stag island, rises 

 steeply to its summit, which is flat and 135 feet high. A white house 

 stands a short distance up the hill on the northeastern side. Bowlders 

 extend a short distance off the eastern side, and a bank, with less than 

 3 fathoms of water over it, extends 135 yards from the southeastern 

 point.
