CAPE NORTH CURLEW HARBOR. 705 



East Gannet rock, bearing 105°, distant 2^ miles from the south- 

 eastern end of the southern Gannet island, is 55 feet high, and a rock, 

 that breaks in a moderate sea, lies northward 350 yards from it. 



Outer Gannet island, bearing 17°, distant 3^ miles from the 

 northern point of the western Gannet island, is about 800 yards long, 

 eastward and westward, 104 feet high. The island is flat ; its sides 

 have been smoothed by the action of ice. 



Boulton rock, bearing 283°, distant 4:-^^ miles from Outer Gannet 

 island, breaks in moderate weather, and there is a depth of 21 fathoms 

 at the distance of 200 yards around it. 



The coast from the northern entrance point of Mullins cove trends 

 northwestward for 3| miles to cape North, and it rises gently to a 

 flat-topped range of hills. 



Cape North, an isolated hill with a double summit, 323 feet high, 

 is connected to the mainland by a flat marsh between two shallow 

 coves. 



An islet, 69 feet high, and steep-to, lies close northward of the 

 cape, but it is seldom distinguishable as an islet. 



Cape North cove is the shallow bight southward of the western 

 part of cape North, and it extends 800 yards eastward. An islet with 

 a house on it, situated 500 yards within the entrance nearly fills the 

 cove. A rock, 2 feet high, lies south-southeastward 500 yards from 

 the northern entrance point, and a shoal, with 9 feet of water over 

 it, lies southwestward 200 yards from the rock. Small vessels enter 

 the cove with the northern shore aboard, and anchor in 5 fathoms. 



The Sisters are two islands, the southern of which lies northwest- 

 ward, distant 1,300 yards from the northwestern point of Cape North 

 promontory. The islands are separated by a shallow channel 300 

 yards wide, and each is about 750 yards long, eastward and west- 

 ward. The southern island is 55 feet high. A bank, with 6^ fathoms 

 of water over it, bears 311°, distant 650 yards from the northwestern 

 point of the southern island, and Pudding bank, with 8 to 9 fathoms 

 of water over it, bears 294°, distant about 200 yards from the 6 J 

 fathom bank. 



The coast between Cape North cove and Curlew head, at 2^ miles 

 west-southwestward, is barren and foul, and must not be approached 

 nearer than ^ mile. 



Curlew island, close westward of Curlew head, is 21 feet high; 

 it is the northern entrance point of Curlew harbor. 



Curlew harbor extends east-southeastward for 2 miles from a 

 position southward of Curlew island, with depths decreasing gradually 

 from 15 fathoms to the head. The bottom is mud and makes good 

 holding ground, and the shores are barren. A shoal, with 4^ fathoms 

 least water over it, bears 238°, distant 550 yards from Curlew island.
