738 EAST COAST OF LABEADOR. 



the northern of these two rocks and the southwestern of those off 

 Farmyard islands there is a good passage. 



Nanuktok (Bears), or Farmyard islands of the fishermen, are 

 two principal and several smaller islets, situated eastward 13 miles 

 from cape Harrigan. Many shoals, that break after a strong breeze, 

 lie between these islands, cape Harrigan, and Kikkertaksoak, and 

 navigation there is dangerous. 



Nunaksaluk (Big piece of land) is the outer point of Windy 

 Tickle group. The islands forming it are about 620 feet high, falling 

 in a series of conical hummocks to the northern point. No examina- 

 tion has been made of the outer harbors. 



Windy tickle (Ikirasaluk) is the channel between Windy Tickle 

 islands and the mainland, which trends w^est-northwestward for 2 

 miles and then westward for 2 miles farther. In the southeastern 

 reach a shoal extends off the first bight on the northeastern shore, 

 and there is a clear track along the southwestern shore. On the 

 northwestern side of the southwestern bend is a deep bay with an 

 islet in the middle, making tw^o anchorages. The water is shoal 

 nearly out to this island from the shore, deepening suddenly from 

 nearly dry to 10 fathoms. Vessels should not anchor in less than 12 

 fathoms of water, nor attempt to go inside the island. The western 

 bend of Windy tickle is shallow from an islet lying southwestward 

 of the islet in the middle, and the passage is in mid-channel, but not 

 more than IJ fathoms can with certainty be carried through at low 

 water. With winds from westward to northwestward violent squalls 

 blow down the southeastern reach. 



Cape Harrigan (Tagaulik), an island ^ mile across, with a sharp 

 black summit, about 300 feet high, forms the northern part of Nunak- 

 saluk; it has a steep face with deep water close-to. Cape Harrigan 

 is in latitude 55° 51f', longitude 60° 20' west of Greenwich. 



An island, 60 feet high, lies southeast, distant 3| miles from cape 

 Harrigan, and there appears to be deep water between this island 

 and Nunaksaluk. 



Bearing 137°, distant If miles from cape Harrigan, is the north- 

 ■western point of a cove, in which there is anchorage. 



Cape Harrig-an harbor, in which several schooners can anchor, 

 is situated on the northern side of Nunaksaluk, and southward of cape 

 Harrigan. The head of the harbor is a sandy beach. 



The main entrance is southeastward of cape Harrigan, but there are 

 also two passages for small craft to the southwestward of the cape, on 

 either side of an island 50 feet high. 



Two rocks, one of which dries and the other of which has less than 

 6 feet of water over it, bear 241°, distant ^ mile and 1 mile, re- 

 spectively^, from the northwestern point of cape Harrigan.
