686 EAST COAST OF LABRADOR. 



it rises in a range of hills, the summit of which, near the northeastern 

 end, is a small cone above the general flat outline and 193 feet high. 

 The eastern end rises abruptly in a reddish cliff. Rocks lie a short 

 distance off the points. 



Fish island, eastward about 200 yards from the eastern point of 

 Copper island, is 91 feet high, and rocks, 1 to 12 feet high, lie at the 

 distance of about 150 yards around its northwestern end. 



Sugarloaf islet, 92 feet high, is nearly joined to the northeastern 

 side of Copper island, leaving a passage between only suitable for 

 boats. 



Seine island, north-northeastward 300 yards from Sugarloaf, is 

 conical, 47 feet high, covered with grass, and nearly divided by two 

 coves, around the southern of which are a few houses. 



Frenchman island, northwestward 200 yards from Seine island, 

 and separated by a passage through which 4f fathoms of water can 

 be carried, is 80 feet high at the southern end, and there is a gray 

 round hill about 50 feet high at the northern end. 



Sullivan island, separated by a shallow channel, 100 yards wide, 

 from the northern part of the eastern side of Frenchman island, is 

 82 feet high. The passage between this and the islands to the east- 

 ward is clear. 



Seal islands, a group 2^ miles long in a north-northwesterly and 

 south-southeasterly direction, lying eastward of Fish, Seine, and 

 Sullivan islands, comprise three principal and numerous smaller 

 islands and rocks. 



The Ravens, the southeastern islands of the group, are several low 

 rocksj the highest being 18 feet high. No-man-land shoal, with 16 

 feet of water over it, bears 154°, distant 250 yards from the south- 

 western Raven, and shoals extend from the other rocks. 



There is a clear passage northwestward of the Ravens and close 

 to Long island. 



The Pippies are three shoals situated f mile southward of the 

 Ravens. The middle shoal, with 6^ fathoms of water over it, bears 

 196°, distant 1,300 yards from the southeastern Raven; and from the 

 middle shoal the northwestern shoal, with 8 fathoms of water over 

 it, bears 284°, distant 300 yards, and the southeastern shoal, with 9 

 fathoms of water over it, bears 135°, distant 500 yards. 



Long- island lies northwestward of the Ravens, and its flat sununit, 

 104 feet high, is near the southern' end; there are several smaller 

 elevations toward the northern end; its coasts generally are steep-to. 



Crow island, 50 yards off the northeastern end of Long island, is 

 78 feet high, and appears as a sharj) cone on northerly and southerly 

 bearings ; there are some sunken rocks close off its southern end.
