684 EAST COAST OP LABRADOR. 



Hiscock islands comprise a group situated northward of Duck 

 islands, with a good channel between. 



Eastern islands, the eastern part of this group, are three bare 

 rocks, the northernmost and highest of which is 24 feet high. 



A rock, with 9 feet of water over it, bears 74°, distant 150 yards 

 from the highest island. 



Fling islands are situated 200 yards from Eastern islands, the 

 highest being 141 feet high. 



Webber rock, with 13 feet of water over it, lies eastward 250 yards 

 from the southern point of these islands. 



Big Pig island, 86 feet high and bare, lies northward 300 yards 

 from Fling islands; and Crocker island, small and low, is close east- 

 ward of it. 



Mad Moll lies in mid-channel between Fling and Big Pig islands, 

 and covers 1 foot at high water. Small vessels pass in the middle of 

 the passages on either side of this rock. 



Hiscock island lies westward about 200 yards from the Fling- 

 islands, and its eastern coast rises in a dark serrated cone, to the 

 height of 147 feet ; there is a small cove on the northern coast, where 

 a few fishermen are established j the channel between Hiscock and 

 Fling islands is clear. 



Walker island, the northwesternmost of the group, separated 

 from Hiscock island by a narrow shallow channel, is 107 feet high, 

 dark, and pyramidal in shape ; the northern coast is steep-to. 



Nancy island, lying westward 350 yards from Hiscock ishnid, 

 with a clear passage between, is 12 feet high and flat. 



Hare island, west-northwestward, 350 yards from Walker island, 

 is 209 feet high. A rock, that covers, lies a short distance off a cove 

 on the southern side, and a small narrow islet, 22 feet high, lies close 

 off the northeastern side. Inside of this island some rocks extend off 

 Hare island. 



Little Hare island lies close northwestward of Hare island; and 

 Green islands, northward, nearly 400 yards from Little Hare island, 

 comprise a long rock and a conical mound 22 feet high, joined by 

 rocks, and covered with grass, with foul ground extending 100 yards 

 from all sides except the northeastern. The passage between these 

 and Little Hare island should not be taken. 



An islet, 12 feet high, lies westward, 600 yards from the western 

 side of Hare island; it is bold-to, except that a reef extends north- 

 northeastward nearly 100 yards from it. 



Gulnare islands are two islands separated from the mainland 

 westward of Hare island by a clear channel 150 yards wide. The 

 southern island is 107 feet high, and a small white islet lies close off 

 its southwestern point.
