 ^tt the Bearings and Counes hereafter mentioned are the trw. Bearings and Course*, 
 
 and not by Compass. 
 
 "OTNT LANCE lieth in the latitude of igo 50' N. is a low point 
 near the sea, but the land within it is high, and is tho^ west point of 
 the entrance into the bay of St. Marifa. 
 
 Irom Point Lance to the eastern head of St. Shot's, (being the 
 east poini of the entrance into St. Mary's Bay,) the course is S. E. by E. 
 
 1 E. distant 22 miles. This bay runneth to the N. E. 9j leagues, with 
 several very good harbours in it, the land on each side being moderately 
 high, and mostly barren. , ' . ' 
 
 From tht eastern head of St. Shot's, to the western head, the course 
 is N. 39° W. distance 2 biige miles: this bay is entirely open to the sea, 
 and abouc 1 mile deep. 
 
 From the western head of St. Shot's to Gull Island, the course i,« N. 
 180 w. distant 4 miles. This island is small, of the same height with 
 the main land, and so near it, that it cannot be distinguished, unless 
 you are close in shore. 
 
 From Gvll Island to Cape English, the course is N, 6° W. distance 
 
 2 leagues. This caj^e is high table land, terminating in a low rocky 
 point, forming a bay about 1 mile deep to the southward of it: at the 
 bottom of this bay is a low stony beach, within which is a pond, called 
 Holy Rood Pond, running to the N. E. for about 7 leagues, and is 
 from I a mile to 2 or 3 broad : this pond makes Cape English appear 
 from the southward like an island. 
 
 From Cape English to False Cape, the course is N. 1 8' E. 1 1 raiie. 
 From False Cape to Pointr La Haye, the course is N. 17° E. dis-

 tance 5 miles. This point is low, and lias a ridge of rocks lying off 
 from it to the S. W. for about J of a mile, on which the sea breaks in 
 bad weather. This is the only danger in St. Mary.% Buy, that will 
 take a ship up. 
 
 P'om Pointe La Ilayr ti> the south point of the entrance into St. 
 Maiy's Harbour, (called Double Road Point,) the course is N. E. dis- 
 tance 1 J mile: the land between these points is low and barren. 
 
 The entrance into St. Mary's Harbour is formed by Double Road 
 Point and North East Point: they lie N. E. and S. W. of each other, 
 about 1 mile distant. In sailing into the harbour of St. Mary's, you 
 must give Ellis a Point (wliich is a low point on the south side, about \ 
 a mile within Double Road Point) a small birth, there being a sunkea 
 
 rock lying off it. V«MeU g«n«raUy ancbo* on th« south sliore, juSt 
 
 within this point, in 4 or 5 fathoms water, on a flat, which runs off from 
 the bk'ach, on which the fishing-stages and houses stand. The best 
 anchorage in tiis harbour is about 2 miles up, iu 9 fathoms water, good 
 ground : here you will lie handy for wooding and watering. In turning 
 in or out of this harbour, you must stand close to the north shore ; but 
 on the south shore, near a mile within Ellis's Point, lies a ledge of 
 rocks, near a cable's length from the shore; and about 1 J mile fartlier 
 up, on the same side, from off a stony beach, lies a shoal, about one 
 cable's lencth off, which continues at that distance from the shore about 
 1 mile farther up the bay, where it terminates. 
 
 Mali Bay lies to the westward of North East Point, and is about 1 
 mile broad, and better than 2 miles deep. There is no good anchorage' 
 in this bay, being open to the sea, and generdlly a heavy swell setting 
 into it. Vessels may occasio^ially anchor near the head, in d or 6 fathoms, 
 water, good ground. 
 
 From Cape English to the south west point of Great CoUnet Island, 
 the course is N. 13° W. distance 3 leagues. This island is of a moderate 
 height, about 1 league long, and 1 mile broad. On cither side of tliia 
 bland is a safe passage up the bay, taking care to give Shoal Bay Point 
 a birth of ^ of a mile, there being several sunken rocks lying off this point. 
 
 Shoal Bay Point lies | of a mile distant off the east side of Great 
 Coliaet Island. On the north side of Great Colinet Island is a stony 
 beach, from off which lies a bank for about ^ of a mile, on which is 
 from 7 to 1 7 fathoms water, rocky bottom. 
 
 Little Colinet Island lies 1^ milefirooi Great ColinU kland; is abov& 
 1 inile long, and | a mile broad.

 *th* *:'iirtn<?* Itttd Great ^afmon Riter lies N. 50" E. distance f 
 leagues from •he north part of Little Colinet Island, is about J of a' 
 mile brofid, and runs to the N. E. 7 or 8 miles; in it is very good an- 
 chorage: the best is about 3 miles from the entrance On the north siue, 
 in a sandy cove, in 5 or 6 iathoms ■ iter. 
 
 North i/rfcowr lies N. by V.'. 2 J miles from the north part oi Little 
 Coiinet hlmd, is about 1 mile broad at the entrance, and runs to the 
 northward abo^t 3 miles: in it is very f»ood anchorage, in about 6 or 7 
 fatnoniu \/ater, at about iJ Sille^ from t.je e.itrance, where it is not above 
 i a mile wide; ot you may run up the narrows, which are formed by 
 two low sandy points, about \ a cable's length asunder, taking care to 
 keep the starboard point close on board, and anchor close within the 
 point on tlie starb >a»'' !>'>re. 
 
 Colinft Bay lie>' N. N. E. \ fi. 3 miles and h \ from the north part of 
 Little Colinef fslcnd: in it is very good tu^cborage, from 5 to 12 
 fathoms water. 
 
 From the eastern head of St. Shot's, the land to the eastward trends 
 away E. by S. { S. for about 1 mile, then K. a S. J mile to Cape Freeh. 
 
 From Cape f reels to Cnpp Pine, the course is E. N. E. 1 mile and a J. 
 The land about Cape Pine, to the eastward and westward, is mo- 
 derately high and barren. 
 
 From Cape Pine to Mistaken / oint, the course is N. 89* E. distant 
 4J leagues. Between these points lies Trepassey Bay, in which is 7Ve- 
 passey Harbour. 
 
 The entrance of this haibour lies 4 J miles to the N. E. of Cape Pine, 
 is about ^ of a mile wide, and runs nearly the same breadth for about 2\ 
 miles, and is here little more than i of a mile wide, but afterwards in- 
 creases to I of a mile wide : here vessels general!} ride. The dangers in 
 sailin<r into this harbour, is a small rock that lies on the east shore, about 
 1 mile within the entrance, and about l-3rd of a cable's length from the 
 shore ; and on the west shore, within the harbour, off a stony beach, 
 lies a shoal, which runs along shore, up the harbour, to a low green 
 point. Baker^i Pointy on with a low rocky point in the entrance of the 
 harbour, will carry you clear off this shoal. When you are nearly up 
 witii the low green point, you may borrow ro'^re to the westward, and 
 anchor cither in the N. V/. or N. E. arm ; there you will be very handy 
 for wooding and watering.

 jnorc than » cable's length wide: just within the entance*. on the nortli 
 shore, is a small cove, in which a fishery is carried oa; but no safe 
 place for anchoring. About ^ of a mile farther in, on Ab Mme side, 
 lies another cove, called Admiral's Cove. In thii cove the- merchants 
 ships generally ride in 7 or S fathoms water, land locked. Abottt 1 mile 
 farther up the harbour i* a cove, called Vice Admiral's Cote. Ou the 
 M)uth side is the best anchorage for large .ihips, in 12 or 15 ^thorns 
 water, muddy ground: here you will be handy for wooding aid water- 
 ing. Farther up, on the same side, lies a cove, called Simp's Bead 
 Cove, Directly off this cove, near the middle of the passage, uprtbe 
 harbour, lies a shoal, on which is only 9 feet water: this is the aoiy 
 danger in this harbour. 
 
 Bald Head lies N. 30'' E. nearly 1 mile from Fermouse Harbour. 
 From Bald Head to Black Head, the course is N. by W. 1 mile. 
 Aqua Fort Harbour. — From Black Head to the entrance into tiia 
 harbour of Aqua Fort, the course is N. W. by N. 1 mile nearly : in the 
 entrance is a high rock above water. The passage into the harbour is 
 ix. the northward of this rock, in which you have 15 fathoms water. 
 This harbour lies in west about 3 miles; at about 2^ miles from the en- 
 trance it is very narrow, where you have 4 fathoms water; but just 
 within the narrows, on the north shore, is a small cove, in which you 
 will have 7 fathoms water: this is a good place for vessels to heave 
 down, the shore being steep. To sail up through the narrows, take 
 care to give the stony beach on the north shore, without the narrows, a 
 birth, it being a shoal along that beach, except at the point of the nar- 
 rows, which is bold to. 
 
 Ferryland Harbour. — Fcnyland Head lies E. N. E. \ E, dis- 
 tant 2 miles from Aqua Fort, and N. N. E. \ E. distant 3| miles from 
 Fermouse. Ferryland Head is moderately high, having two high rocks 
 above water, lying close off the head, called the Hare's Ears. This 
 head b not easily distinguished, by reason of the main land within it 
 being much higher. The entrance into Ferryland Harbour lies to the 
 northward of Ferryland Head, between it and Isle Bois, and is little 
 more than \ a cable's length wide; but after you are within Isle Bois, 
 it is better than | of a mile wide, and tolerable good anchorage, in 8 or 
 10 fathoms water; but the north east winds heave in a very great sea 
 over the low rocks, that run from Me Bois to the main. 
 
 From Isle Bois to Goose Island, the course is N. i E. distant ^ a 
 
9 
 
 WiJle; and from Cloou UUni to Stent Mmti, th* rwim h V. 5' W. 
 distance h a mile. 
 
 Caplin Bay runs in N. W, by W. distant -2 J milps from Hoot 
 hUmil, is a tolerable good bay, with 9 safe passage into it ou either side 
 of Goote Mand. To the northward of Goose Itland, between it and 
 Stone hland$, there is not the least danger, the bhind being bolii to. 
 If you pass to the snuthwartl of Goosr island, between it and Me Boit^ 
 be sure to keep the point of fwry/flurf Head open to the eastwarti oi hh 
 ' Bote, in order to avoid a sunken rock, on which u only 2 fathoms water, 
 and lies nearly midway between Goose Island m^X Cold East Point: afteif 
 you are within this rock, there is nut the least danger in sailing up the- 
 bay. The best anchorage is abreast of a cove on the larboard hand^ 
 about A a mile within Scogin's Head, in 16" or 1 7 fathoms water. 
 
 Cape Broyle. — From the Hare's Ears, off Ferrjfland He/ul, to 
 Caj/e Broyle, the course is N. { W. distant 2| miles. This cape is 
 high table land, and makes in a saddle, either from the northward oic' 
 southward. From the north part of the cupe, E. S. E. ^ of a mile, lies 
 a small rock, called Old Hcrry, on which is only 3 fathoms water; but 
 between it and the main is upwards of 20 fathoms water. About | of a 
 mile to the N. E. of the north part of Cape Broyle lies a ledge of rocks, 
 called Horse Rocks, on which you have from 7 to 14 fathoms water: in 
 bad weather the sea breaks very high on these rocks. The mark for 
 these rocks is a white house on Ferryland Downs open with Stone 
 Islands, and the head of Cape Broyle Harbour open will carry you 
 on them. 
 
 Cape Brovi.e Harbour.— From the north part of Cape BroyU 
 to the south part of Brigvs Head, tlie course is N. W. by N. dis- 
 tance 1 ^ mile. These points form the entrance into Cape Broyle Har- 
 bour, which runs Similes up. About 1| mile within the entrance on 
 the north shore, is a cove, called Admiral's Cote, in which you may 
 anchor in about 12 futhoms water, good ground; but here you will 'ay 
 open to the south east. The best anchorage is above the Narrows, iu 
 about 7 fathoms water: the only danger in sailing up the harbour, is a 
 ledge, called Saturday's Lfdge, and lies about a cable and a half* length 
 without the Narrows on the north shore: if you are coming in from the 
 northward, keep the Saddle on Brigits Head open with the point of 
 Admiral's Cove, it will carry you clear otf this ledge. After you are 
 above the Narrows, you may anchor in about 7 fathoms water, good 
 liround: here you will be very handy for wooding and watering.

 Brigm by South U a small harbour, eatjr fit for boats, and lies cloie 
 to Uie northward of Brigiu Head. 
 
 Cape Neddick lies north 4.i miles from Cape liroyte, and N. 2° W. 
 distance 7 miles and J.3fd from the Hare'$ Eari off FertyUnd. This 
 cape ia table land, of a moderate heij?ht, and »teep towards the sea. 
 
 From Cape Neddick to Baline Head, the course is N. N, E. distance 
 1 1 mile. Baline Cove is about ^ of a mile to the northward of Baline ' 
 Head: this is but a small cove, fit only for boats. 
 
 From Cape Neddiek to the outer point of Great hland. the course is 
 N. 40' E. dUtance 2 J miles. Tim ialaad i» about i « wUe iu length, 
 and of a moderate height. 
 
 From Baline Head to hie Spear, tl»e course Is N. J E. distance 1 
 mile. Nearly within thia island a fishery is carried on, but ao safe an. 
 chorage, the bottom being locky. 
 
 Toads Cove is a small cove about 1 mile to the nor>' ard of hU 
 Spear, and is only fit for boats. 
 
 About 1 mile and a * from lule Spear, lies the south point of Mom^ 
 able's Bay, called Tinker's Point: fiom this point to the north point of 
 the said bay. being the south point of HUless Bay, the course is N. E. 
 by E. distance 1^ mile. Motaable'i Bay is an ojjen bay, about 1 mile 
 deep. 
 
 Green Island is a small round island, about i of a mile from che south 
 point of Witless Bay. From this point lies a ledge of rocks, about one- 
 third of the distance over to Green Island. 
 
 The south point of Gull Island lies about | of a mile to the north- 
 ward of Green Island, and is about 1 mile long, and a of a mile broad, 
 and is pretty high land. 
 
 Witless Bay runs in about 2 miles from Gull Island: in it is a mo- 
 derate depth of water, good ground, but open to the sea. About half 
 way up, on the north shore, lies a ledge of rocks: part of these rocks 
 show above water at about half tide. 
 
 Bay of Bulls — One mile and \ to ihe northward of Gull hland, 
 lies the south point of the entrance into the Bay of Bulls: from this 
 point to the north point of the said bay, called Bull Head, the course 
 is N. E. I E. distance 1 mile. The best anchorage in this bay for large
