PAINE ISLAND DOMINO RUN. 695 



Paine island, eastward 1,100 yards from Queer island, is sur- 

 rounrled by shoal water, which extends 350 yards southward of it. 



Green island, east-northeastward 800 yards from Queer island, 

 is surrounded by shoal water to the distance of rather over 200 yards, 

 except on its eastern side, which is bolder. 



A black rock lies southward 200 yards from the island. 



High Rat rock, with 2 fathoms of water over it, bears 84°, distant 

 650 yards from the southern point of Green island. 



Shag rocks, bearing 39°, distant 400 yards from the northern 

 point of Green island, extend ^ mile in an easterly and westerly 

 direction. 



An island lies westward | mile from Green island ; shoals extend 

 about 200 yards northward and southeastward from it. The passage 

 between this island and the eastern entrance point of Bateau harbor 

 is less than 200 yards in width and has a depth of 4 fathoms in it. 



Bateau harbor, northwestward of Queer island, affords excellent 

 anchorage for small vessels in 4 fathoms of water, and there are 

 wharves at its head, alongside which large schooners load. The 

 only safe passage into the harbor is eastward of Queer island, and 

 westward of Toole rock with the leading mark (see above) on; and 

 when the black rock otF Green island is in line with Hat island, the 

 northernmost of the Mark islands, bearing 98°, steer for the harbor. 



Comniunication. — The Labrador steamer to and from St. Johns 

 via Battle harbor, calls at Bateau fortnightly during summer. 



Bombproof island, north-northwestward, 650 yards from Green 

 island, is conical, 69 feet high, and conspicuous. 



A large group of islands, with rocks and shoals among them, lies 

 north-northeastward of it, and should not be approached without a 

 pilot. Fish island, 41 feet high, the easternmost and outer island 

 of the group, lies nearly northward, 2| miles from Mark islands. 



Carrol island, northwestward 800 yards from Fish island, is 

 rlark, round, and 157 feet high. 



Black tickle, a narroAv sheltered passage between the northern end 

 of the island northward of Carrol island and the Island of Ponds, 

 is much frequented by fishermen ; to enter it, pass close southward of 

 Carrol island, and then keep the western coasts of that island and 

 the island northward of it aboard. Vessels drawing 12 feet of water 

 load here. 



Domino run is the passage between Spotted and the adjacent 

 islands and the northeastern coast of the Island of Ponds. It has a 

 width of 900 to 1,100 yards, and a depth of 4^ fathoms can be carried 

 through it. The entrance is between Southeast point of Spotted 

 island and Domino point, which latter bears 292°, distant 5 miles 

 from Roundhill island, and lies about 1.200 yards eastward of Black 

 tickle.
