 Cape Sable 
 
 Cape Sable is a low woody ifland, at the SoLith-Eaftern extremity of a range of f. 
 .very remarkable ac a confidcrablc diltance in the offing •, the top of which is i 
 tcet above the level of high- water mark. A fpit runs out Southerly, wiih break 
 the Wcnernmoft fand cliff. Mere the tide runs at the rate of 3, and fometimes . 
 and, when the wind blows frelh, a rippling extends from the breakers, Southerly 
 didance of near 3 leagues, and Ihifts its dire(5lion with the tide j with the flood i 
 Wefterly, and inclines to the Eaftward with the ebb. This ripple may be dan| 
 pals through in a gale, as it has all the appearance of high breakers, although tl 
 iefs than 8, 10, 12, and 20, fathoms of water, rocky ground. N.E. 3i-milesdii 
 Cape Sable, arc two fand cliffs, remarkable from the Eallward.

 places, more than 2, 3, or 4, fathoms of water j whence it continues E. and E. by S. c

 fliapeth to the S. and S.E. floping gently to 60 and 70 fathoms of water. To tl 
 
 ward and Eaftward it is very fteep, and in a run of 3 miles the water will deepe

 of the North-Weft bar fhapes to the Weftward, and deepens gradually to 70 fa 
 
 water, at the diftance of 20 or 25 leagues from the Ifle ; and winds Eafterly and 
 
 until it meets the foundings of the North-Eaft bar. The quality of the bottom, ii 
 
 is very fine fand, with a few tranfparent ftones •, to the Northward, and clofe to tl 
 
 Eaft bar, the fand is mixed with many black fpecks; but, near the North-Weft 
 
 fand has a greenifti colour. The North-Eaft bar breaks, in bad weather, at th(
