advciilroui. mariner niny recognize his coast at a di.tlanee ; the Mmndings und courses oi chan-
nels, by the knowIed(je of whidi ho sets the lock-bourid shore al dufiaiice ; and the aspect and
properties of harbours, into which he can enter with security, and embay himself Iroin the in-
clemency of the elements. This remark is suj^aested with the more coiifidcHce, as it rcsidta
from the consideration, that the life even of the most experienced Mariner m more endangered
as he approaches the Coast, however correctly be may be acipiainted with its soundings and
its curvatures, than it is when exi^sed lo the billows of ilie tcm|>est, which agitates the mid
ocean. I'lie im|torlaiit aid, which the Icatned >iavi(;alor derives from the calculation of the
longitude by lunar observations, is undoubtedly amoiiL; ihe most dislinguislud bcneiits of mod-
ern nautical improvement ; and it is a branch of naval education with which the niarmeni of
our coniiiry have of late years become generally familiar. When the spirit ol adveniurc had
extended the American commerce beyond the capes of cither continent, what wu- beiore use-
ful, became then indispensibly necessary, tliat Navigation shoi.ld be taught as a science to the
conductors of our merchantmen, and it was soon no uncimimiin spelcacle to behold the Ame-
rican Eagle, lately unused to scientific restraint, shaping his course ihrouuh loreign climes by
the rules of geometry. The Charts and marine directions with which foreign cnnniries abound,
have also rendered the profession of the sea less dangerous and more piofilable 1 lice povir-
crful aids have almost everywhere been cctended to the protection and eiicoiuaneniont of
commerce, except in the American State*. Here, indeed, few Charts have been iiubhshed,
and those of no remarkable character, either for the accuracy of their distances ai H l'i ariiigs,
or for the extent of their scale. But to collect in a compendious volume the m • .•.ihenlic
description of the harbours, and an accurate detail of the courses and soundings o. i. • Ame-
rican Coast, has long been a desideratum among nautical and eonimrrcini nun ; and > <ilil the
appearance of the first edition of the A.MKKICAN COASI' I'll.OT, in 1796, no attempt, wo
believe, had ever been made, in any part of ihc Union, to elFect it. In accoiiipli>li so
important an object, which was cnibarrasscd with more lliaii the ordinary diflicullies with which
all new works are involved, the Editor, actuated by a principle ol commercial bcnclit, and
assisted by the most correct and ex |K'rienced Pilots in the llnitcd Stales, hazarded the publi-
cation of that work, under auspices by no means favorable to its eveniiial cssablishiiiciil, as a
book of reference and directions to American mariners. Incident to the very iiidnuics and
complex nature of the work itself, much incompelenry niul error liiuiid adiiii>5i(<ii into its pagt »,
which no industry of the Editor could avoid. Add to this, the avowed li«slihi\ of ;<lnios' ail
the Pilots in the Southern commercial cities, wilhwlioH- iii((r,st a niihiated. lo perniii any de-
gree of reputation lo be attached to a piililicallon, whose prolessed design wa^ l.) ni; ke .Ame-
rican commanders their own pilots, and lo relieve in the minds of their owi.ers <>oiy appre-

TO sail into it, coming from the westward, contiinic your course elsterly
until you have Ric/im iilc a ship's length open to the eastward oi Korth rovkt;
thence you may steer northerly for Isle George ; and when you come ij)
within the distance of two cables from its south end, incline to th« westward
in a direction with the western extremity of Pond Ueach, until you open
Pioxpect House on the north side of the northernmost Mohauk Lo{lgv, uiid
then haul into anchor in 3 fathoms, mud bottom.
About midway between liaccaro Point and the So(f//< ftdges; lies theF«//j',
a .lunkcn rock, within which and the western shore is a chaiiiul of no lust than
6 fathunu.
Fiiltiir, a dangerous breaker, lies S. W. b. W. near two miles from Baccara

ST. MAUY'sRAY;
FROM Capv St. Mary upwards into the bay, the south shorh is low, and
runs out in sanely fiats tor near three quarters of a mile. The north shore is
surrounded by high st«-ep cliffn, with deep water close under them. Mid-
channel, and about two thirds up the bay, lies a rocky 6n/<A-, with 4 ood 4^
fathoms; and on each side of which arc channels of 12 and 13 fathoms, mud
bottom. The cntnince of the River Hissibrnt is shoal, and within has a nar-
now channel of 2 fathoms. Opposite to Sissibon lies Saiidp CoTe, wbeie vcv*
scis, when it blows hard,may ground en soft mud^and be sheltered Irom all winds.
Petit Passage is 280 fathoms wide on its narrowest part, and has from 20
to 30 fathoms ; its shores are bold too. On the west side, near the northern
entrance, lies Eddi/core, convenient fur vt~isels to anchor out of the stream of
the tides, which run so very swift, that without a fresh galeof a leading wind,
no ship can stem it. W.N.W. J N. 3\ miles distant from the N.W. point of
th» northern entrance of Grand pa.ssrge, lies the north-west ledge. Coming in
from the southward, the widest and d.vpcst channel is on the west side of
Bellii's island. To avoid the nine feet shoal (north, distant 300 tiithums of it)
haul close around the island, or give it a birth of 4 cablc'^' Icni^th ere you bear
up for the anchoring ground oft" i!ie houH<s on the western shore. The Black
rock is I J mile distant S. S. W. ^ from the S. K. end of Bryer island: and
near 2 miles further on the same direction, is a slioal with 3 tathoms, b«tween
which and the rock arc l6 fathoms. Trinity ledge lies S. W. | S. distant 6*
miles from the southernmost point of cape St. Mary's. When the tide is out,
three «i^offr« appear above water; it is near one quarter of a mile in length,
and as much in breadth ; and it tails oH° hali a mile to the westward, decjM.'U-

10 lea^ui'S, and sliapes to the south and south-east, sloping ^eiiily to (iO and
70 fathoms. To the northward and eastward it is \ery steep ; and in a run
of 3 miles, the water will deepen to 130 fathoms. .Abreast the body of the.
isle the sounding-, aie more gradual. The shoal iiidund of the north-west bar
shapes to the westward, and deepens gradually to /O larhoms, at the dis-
tance of 20 or 2.5 leagues from the isle, and winds easterly and southerly un-
til it meets the soundings of the north-i-ast bar. The <piaiity of the bottom'
in general, is very tine sand, with a few small transparent stones; to the
Hwithward, and close to llie north-east bar, the sand is mixed with many
black specks ; but near the north-west bar, the sand has a greenish coh.ur,
'J'he north-east bar breaks in bud weather, at a distance of 8 and 10 leagues
IVom the island ; but in moderate wcatlier, a ship nniy cross it, at five league*
tlibtaiicc, with gieat safety, in no loss than 8 and 9 lathoms; and if the weath-
er is clear, the island maybe seen thence very distinctly from a boat. The
r.orth-wcst bar breaks in bad weather, at 7, and sometimes at S miles froii*
the inland ; but when the sea is smooth, ships may cross it, wittiin the dis-
tance of 4 mill's, in 7 fathoms.
Along the north and the south sides of iheisland air many .v/)//.vofsand,c.\--
tending nearly parrulel, and within a mile from 1 he shore. Vessels may an-
chor on the north side of the island, between these spits, and notbeliahle to be
drove otf by southerly winds. On the south side it is boldest o(f the body of
liie island, liaving 10 and \l fathoms within a mile from the shore ; but to-
wards the bar it is more shoal, and dangerous to approach, for the currents,
whitli are uncertain, are in a great degree influenced by the winds which ha\e
rseceded. Tlie surf Lents continually on the shore, and in cr.lm \v;\;ther i»
1. card several leagues oil'. Landing on this is!.<iid with boats is practicable,
en the north side, after a continuance of good weather only. Tlie whole island
is composed of fine white sand, much courser than any ofthesoundiiiiis about

REMARKS.
The eastern extremity of Crfa^ Brecon /s/airf (which ships, sailing from
Europe to Nora Scolin, in general choose to make) appears on the sea shore,
and some way back into the country, barren and rocky ; and the tops of the
hills being so much alike, havo nothing remarkable. The light house ami
town of l.uuhburgh, on making that part of the island, are immediately seen.
The coast to the westward continues rocky on the share, with a few banks of
led earth, and appears less barren.
Ca/;(? /i/a/icAtro^/c is a remarkabie cliff' o{ xchiteish earth, lying just <>n the
e;ist of the isle of Saint Enprif (which is a small woody island, two miles dis-
tant from the shore, with a breaker one mile and a half without it) from
whence the land is low to the Richmond Isles, on which ajipear several small
bunks of bright red earth, ami bcuehtrs between them. Albion cliff '\i rocky,
and remarkable high and steep.
In sailing thnugii the ^.'/^ of Vaii^o, ships pass between it and the isles of
Canso, which are surrounded with many low white n«7i.v, and breakers extend-
ing from thorn. The south shore of the bai/ of Chedabucto is iron bouud and

of Pari llahliniand, and within land, itre seveial barren spots, which, from the
otiina:, are easily discerned ; from whence to L'upc Sable the land appears Icvci
and low ; and on tiie shore are some cliii's of exceeding wliite sand, particu-
larly in the entrance oi Port ilaldtmund, and on Cape Sable where they arc
^el■y observable from sea.
From Cape Sable, sailing up the Bai/o{ Fiiiidi', you pass the Seal hies and

Two miles to the northward of Lalljj Cove Head, is the bay of the east, and
bay of the north ; in both is deep water, and u» anchorasfe, unless very near
the shore. At the head of the north bay is the lur^jcst river iii I'ortune Bay,
and seems a good place for a salmon fishery.
'I'he bay of Cinq Ides lies to the soutir.vird of the north bay ; and opposite to
Lally Cove Head there is tolerable good alVjhQrage for large bhips on the S.W.
side of the islands in the bottom of the bay. The north arm }% a very snug
place for small vessels ; at (he head of this arm is a salmon river.
A liitU* to the southward of the bay of Cinq Islei is Corben bay, wherein is
good anchorage for any ships in 22 or 24 fathoms water.
S.IC. about 2 miles from LallyCoiclhad, are two islands about a mile from
each other; the north easternmost is called Bt'' l.slaiid, and the other Doglsl'
iiiiil ; they are of a tolurable height, and bold too all round.
Between Dog Island and Lord and Lady Inland, which lies off the south point
of Corben bay, is a sunken rock, (somewhat nearer to Lord and Lady, than Dog
Island,) whereon the sea breaks in very bad weather, and every where round it
very deep water. About a quarter of a mile to the northward of the north end
of Lord and Lady Island, is a rock that appears at low water.
Bande de La'rier bay lies on the west point of Bell Bay, and N.N.W. } W.
near 3 leagues from Point Enragee ; it may be known by a very higli mountaii)
«)ver the bay,which rises almost perpendicular from the sea, called Ironhead.
Chufipel Island, which forms the east side of the bay, is high land also. The
harbour lies on the west side of t!;c bay, just within the p«int, formed by a
narrow low beach ; it is very small, but a snug place, and conveniently situ-
ated for the cod fishery, 'i'here is a tolerable good anchorage along the west
side of the bay, from thjs harbour up towards Iron Head in 1 8 and 20 fathoms

DESCRIPTION OF THE BAY OF DESPAIR.

Thf entrance of the hai/ of Despair lii's bctwf-en the west end of Longisland
j(ntl Gient Jiivis island, (an island in the mouth of (h? harbour of the same
name,) the distance from one to tiic other is one mile and a quarter, and in
tiio middle between them is no soundings with 280 fathoms.
'I'lu' hail of Despair forms two rapacious arms, one extending to rt»c N. E.
ft ioui^ues, ami the other to the northward 5 leajjues ; in the norlh arm is very
ikT|> water, and nouncliorage, but iir the small bays and coves which lay oti'
ciicli side (if it. At the head of the bay of the east, which is an arm of the
nijiiii buy, is a ^ery fine salmon river, and plenty of wood. In the N.t. arm
of the lini/ oj Dt.ipitir are several arms and islands, and tolerably f^ood anchorao;e
in xime p;irts of it. Little river and Coiine river are counted go«td placet
fur salmon lisheries: About these rivers and the head of the bay are ^trat
f'li'uty u( all sorts of wood common to this countrvi sach as fir, pine, bircb,
\\inh-hazie, sprnce, &c. All the conntry about the entrance into i\>eb<fyof
7>.vy;fl/;*, and foragoorfway up it, is v<iy mountainous and barren, but about
tiiehciui of ihebity it»|)peHrstobeprefty level, and well cloathed wiih uimhI.
Great Jcrvis huriiour is situated at the west entrance into the hatfof' 1>«-
pair, is asnuj;and safe harbour, with good anchorage in every part «)fit ii>
16", 18 tr 90 fathoms; though but small, will contain a great number of »hi{>-
ping, secuiely sheltered from all winds, and very convenient for wooding and
WHtering. There is a passage into this Imrbour on cither side of Great Jeni*
island, the southernmost is the safest, there being in it no danger but the shore!
itself. To sail in on the north side of the island, you must keep in the middle
of the passage, until you are within ttvo sniitU rocks above water near to each
other on your starboard side, a littJtf within the norlh point of the passage ;
you must then bring the said north point Iwtwecn these rocks, and steer ioto
the harljour in that direction, which will carry you clear of some sunken
rocks which lie oft' the west point of the island > these rocks appear at \wr
water. The entrance into this harl;t)ur may be known by the east end of
(.Irrat Jcrvis iJiiiid, which is a high steep craggy point, called Great Jtnu
had, and is the north point of th.e south entrance into this harbowr.
liomie bay Hi-s one leagiw to :!u" westward from Great Jervis htwK and-
north 7 miles from Pms idand, there are several islands in the inoHth of it, the
Tresternmost of v/!iich is the largest and highest, 'i'he best passage into the bay
is to the eastward of the largest island, between it and the two easternmost
islands ; which two islands may be known by tt riK"k above wafer oflthc south
point (if each of them. The bay lies in N. N. W. 4 miles, and is near lialf a
mile broad in the narrowest part; there is no danger going in, but what shews
ilscll ; you may go (in either side of i^JraAr }.s7.'i«//, which is a small islaiiii
nearly in ihe mi. Idle of the bay ; between this inland, and two small islarwfs,
lyini{(ni the wevt side of the bay within Great inland, is anchorage in 20 and
.■JOtathoms, but the best place for large ships is at the head of the bay in 12
or 11 liithoms, diai j^round, and convenient for wooding and wuteriiig. On
l!ie west tiide of ilic bay, abrcttst of DraliC island, is a very snug harbour fur
M!5;ill vessel.', wliori'in is 7 fathoms water, and good conveniencies for a fishery ;
(irt the sou;Ii puiiu of the entrance are some sunken rocks about a cable's length
from the sh(re. On the N.W. sitie of the cn-nt island, wiJliin the two small

W. S. W. ♦ miles from the bay Francoh, on the cast side of Cape !a ttune,
lies Oar bay ; oil" the east point of the entrmice is a low rocky island, ciosi' to
the shore; from this point, to the entrance into the bay of Despair, ihc course
is \V. Jl N. 9 leagues. In the mouth of this bay is a rocky isiur.d,
«nd a passage on each side of it : The bay lies in iirst N. N. E. near one
league, then north 2 miles; it is one third of a mile broad in the narrowest
p!;rt, with deep water close to both shores all the way up ; the least water ii
at the entrance : At tlie head rs a small snug harbour, tit only for small
vessels and tishin:z shallops, «vherein is 6 lathonis water : At the west side of
:'..c entrance into the bay N.W. by N. from the rocky island before- mention-
ed, is a small snug cove, called Cut de Sac, wherein is 3 and 4 lathoms water
and good shelter for tithing vessels.
Cape la Hunt is the >outliernni()st point of land on this part of tlie coast,
and lies in the faiitudc of 47*31' 4'2" north west half norih from Puns
island, and N.W. half N. lOi leagues from Citp<} Miquilon ; it may be easily
known by its figure, which much resembles a sugar loaf ; bvit in order to
distinginsh this, you must approach the shore at least within 3 leagues, (un-
less you are directly to the eastward or Westward of it) otherwise the eleva-
tion of the high land wiihinif, will hinder you from distinguishing the sugar
loaf hill ; but the cape may always be known by the high land of la IJiiiic,
•.vtiich lies one league to the westward of it; this land rises <lirectly from iho
sea, to a tolerable height, appears pretty Hat at top, and may be seen in
clear weather l6 leagues.
South 2y**\V. Sand half leagues from Cape la Hunt, and north Si® west,
near 1 leagues from Cape Miquelon,' Vies the Venguin inlands, which arc a
parcel of barren rocks lying near to each other, and altogether about two
leagues in circuit ; yon may approach these islands in the day tinicio half a
Jeague all round, there being no danger at that distance off. On the S! VV.
side of the large island, w hich is tlic highest, is « small cove, wherein is shel-
ter for fishing shallops, and good convcniencies for a fishery, and there is
guo.l fishing ground about the island.
V.A%\ cP north, 7 miles from the Vcugvin is'aiids, and south 9** east, .3 leagues
fi)!'.! Cupe/fl HiiHc, is a dangerous rock, called the U'/iale rock, whereon the
sea generally breaks , it is about one hundred fatlioms in circuit, with 10, 12,
and H fathoms water close too all round it. From this rock stretches out u
narrow bank oiic league to the westward, and half a league to the eastward,'
whereon is from 24 to 5S fathoms, a reeky and gravelly bottom. In the
channel between the shore and this rock, alSo between the shore and Penguin
inlands, is 120 and 130 fathoms water, ;i muddy bottom, and the same hot*
toin, and nearly the same «leplh of water one league without them.
Hound the west point of Cape /It Hiine is /a Iliinehay, which Wii in north
hear 2 leagues, and is abt>ut oiil' third of a mile broa<l in the narrowest parr,
which is at the entr'iice, with deep water in niost parts of it. lii s.Mling in or

anchorage, and plenty of wood and water, and Hshing convcniencies. In the

This harbour may be known by a high white rock, lying S. half a mile from
the outer part of the island. There are two passages into tlie liarbour, one on
each side of the island, and no danger in eitlMT of them but what discovers
itself; it is a small comniodious harbour tor the tislicry, wherein is. 6, 8, and
10 fathoms water, and some beach.

with high land on both sides, and deep water close to both shores in most parlii
of it, until you are 8 miles up it, you will then rise the ground at once to •)

Hound the west point of Cuttcau is Ciitq Serf, wherein are a gn«at many
islands which form several small snu;;harbouri, wherein is room and depth ot
water suflicient for fishing vessels, with convenicticies for tisheries. llijjht off
Cinq $rrf, about half a league from the shoie, is a low rocky island. Tim
safest passa;;e into the lai-jjest harbour is to tl:c westward of this rock, keeping
pietty near if, and steer in N. E. .J K. keeping the S. L'.. shore on board, until
\ ou are abreast of a small woody island, which is the easternmost but one, and

Four miles to the wt-stward of the rocky island oft'Cin^Srr/', is the harbour
of Grand liruit, which is a small commodious harbour, and well situated for a

leamie inland, which is the liij;liest land on all the coast, down which runs a
considerable brook, which empties itselt in a cascade into the harbour oiGrand
Jiriiit. Uefore the mouth of the harbour are several small islands, the Iar<»c3t
of which is of a tolerable height, with three green hillocks upon it. A little
without this island is a roumi rock, pretty high above water, called Columbt of
Gruiid Bruit ; and 4 of a mile to the southward of this rock, isa low rock ; in
the direct line between this low rock and the rocky island oU Ctuq Seif, S leagiio
from the former, is a sunken rock, whereon the seu d(<tli not break in line
weather. The safest passage into Grand Ihiiit is to the Is . E. of this rock, and
off the islands lying beforu the harbour between them and the three island*
(wliich are low und lay under the shore) and after you are to the northward
of the sunken rock above-mentioned, there is noJanwr but what shews itself,
Tiie passage into tl.e harbour is very narrow, but bold to both sides. 'Ih«
harbour lies in north half a mile, and is a (juarier of a mile broad in ihc broad-

To the v.cstward of Grand Jhuit, between il and I.a Voil bay, lies the Lay

Cliateaux daif from 4,5 to SO fathoms; within a mile of the coast of Labra-
(lore, to the westward oi Chateaux bay, you will have 25, 30, and 35 fath-
oms ; furth?^r up the strcights, as far as Cape Norman and Green ishind, you
*ill have 40 and 45 fathoms in tiie middle, less towards Neujoundland, and
more towards the coast of Ijabrudore.
About 7 miles to the eastward of Seal islands, is5^ Peter's islands, a pnr-
ccl of smiiU barren rocks; within them is St. Peter's hay, Avhich is a good
bay, open only to the S.L. winds.
Cape C/uirLs makes with a high steep towards the sea, and sloping inland,
»o that when you are to the westward of C/tatranv, Cape Charles will niako
hke an island.
J'rom St. I'elfr'a islanils to Cape Charles island the course is N. E. \ N,
di'tancc nrnr 4 leagues; between them lies Niger sound, which is an inlet 2
leucines <ieep, before which lies several i'-hinds'. Vou nitiy pass to the norths
ward or soutlnvard of any of those islands into the sound; the course in ii
>i.\V. tlic he.-t anchorage is on the north side, in y fathoms water.
From Cape Charles to the Rattle ishnds, (which arc the outermost of the
Car'buu is/a/iu.%) the course is N. by E. A ii. 4 miles, and from the northern-
nost of the Battle islandi to point Leuis, is N.N.W ^ W. 5 inihs; between
the Battle Islands and the great Caribou island is a Rood harbinir for small
TesKcIs; the south entrance is very narrow, and has only 3 fathoms water;
this entrance is not easily distinguished, by reason of a smull island before
it; the north entrance i> much wiiler, passing to the westward of the three
small northernmost of the Battle islands; you may anchor from 5 to 10
felhoms water. This placo is much resorted to iiy the savages, and is by
them named Cc-tiic-to; \im\Cape Charles (liey call Ikkegnueheaeteuc.
Between the Caribou islands and Cape Lncis, lies St. Levis' bay, in which
*rc many islands and inlets which have not yrt horn examined.
From the north part of CapeLeui'i, at a (junrter of a mile from the shore,
arc two flat rocks, and also several sunken rocks, all which are within that
distHi>ce from the shore; round this point is the entranie of a small cov.',
running in S.S.^V. half a mile, named Dccp-mutcr creek, but \cry narrow,
an<l lias from 20 to 40 fathoms water in it.
From the north part of point Leu is to the south head oiPcttii-h.irlour ha-j,
the course is north ij miles; it is a high bold shore; from the south head to
the north head of this bay, the course is N. \ K. 1.^ miles; this bay runs up
■NV.N'.W. 1 mil<?; in it is 20 to 40 fa*homs water. At the bottom of if i*
¥etty harbour; the entrance is to the northward of a low point of land which
shuts the harbour in from this sea, so ns not to be seen till very near it; the
entrance is very narrow, it is not above 50 fathoms broad, there is 5 fathoini'
in the middle, and 3 fathoms close to the sides; tlie narrovT part is but short,
and after you aie within the entrance the harbour becomes wider, runninj^
tipW.byN. 1,} miles, and a third of a mile broad, wherein ships may anchor
in any part, from 12 to 7 fKtlioms, and lie entirely land-lo(ked. From the
Borthhead of Pelf i/ harbour bay to point Spear, the courseis N. \ K. 2} miles;
between tliein is Barren bay and Spear harlioiir; Barren buy is to tho north-

N.W. ; about 3 miles between them arc several small hijjh islands lying
within half a mile of the shore, cdled Spear ishindu; they are all bohl too,
and there is 20 fatlioms within them ; N.N.K. \ E. from the S.K. head ol"
the entrance of tiie 7'//rpe //«r'w;^/T, lies (wo small islands, close together,
called Double island, about as liiiih as they are broad, and about half a ca-
ble's lenath to the easrwHrd of those islands are two sunken rocks, ofi which'
t'le sea breaks in bad v.'eathcr. Nearly in the middle (.f ihe entranre of tho
Thrit harhuiirx lies two inlands close together, which iiU)stly ajij'ear as one
idand, by heing so close t()g;ether, they are stei^p too; slaps may pass ou
fitlier side of them in 12 and 14 fathoms, and anchor uiihin them, \i\Qufen
load, in lO' fathoms; liy the S. !•'. end ol the islands is the widest passyc,
und room for ships to work in or <nit.
The first and southernn-.ost harbour wiihin Qt'ern mnd, is Snph'.a harlmiir;
it runs up S. by K. 1^ miles, and has from I,) to 10 tathoms watci' for that
distance; then it tends awav round a low pijint to the eastward, lind becomes
a mile broad, Imt thence is very shoal water, and only nt lor small vessels.
I'ort Clidrlollr is the middle harbour, and a very j^ood one tor any ships;
there is a low flat island on the starboard side of the entrance, and trom this
island runs a reef of rocks a third of the channel over to the south side, in
avoid which keep the south side nearest on board, for itis steep too, having; y
fathoms dose to the shore, therefore keep ihe soutli side iiearesf until ymi aie
a ([uarter of a mile within the entrance, then you may anchor in any part of
• he harb'Mir, between 12 and 17 fathoms, only giving the starboard sic!c a
birth of half a cable's lenj^th, fo av()i<l a small reef that lays afoiig that side.
]\]rcUinhiir^.'> harhniir is the nrrtherrmost of fh" three, and livs up N. W,
\ W. and W'.N.W. '2 miles; in the lower part of this harbcur is CO fathoms,
but in the upper part is no more than 12 (athonis room for shios to moor j
fo sail up to the head, keep the larboard side nearest, to avoid ,he le<l;;e of
rocks that lav alonn the starboard side, about ;10 fathoms from the sliorr.
These rocks lay withii\ the narrowest part of the harbour, and above th«
low point on the starboard side ; the bcbt anchorage is at the head ot' the.
harbour.
From the islands at the entrance of the Three hart^ovm \oCdpe St. Tranck,
the course is N. J K. about .5 miles; brtween them is the eiitiance into 5/.
Fraiuh or Alexis river, between two low points about a mile across; this riv-
er runs up about 10 leagues, where the water is fresh, and a very strou':;
tide; in it ar? many bays, harbours, aiid islands; the first part of this river
runs up U'.N.W, 3 miles and a half. There are four islands witiiin the en-
trance, two of which are on the larboard side, and further up, two on th«
starlioard side; the outermost island <m the larboard side, which is about a
mile within the entrance, is a his^h round island in the shape of a sugar-loaf,
with the top part cut olf, and is a very good mark to sai^l in by; there is w
le<li;e of rocks about half a cable's length from the S.K. pointof the entrancej
ami V. S.E. half a mile from the said point, titeie is a (lat rock, always above

within the lirst part of the river, is 'mS/iip'n /inrhuiir, wliich is on the larboard
side, about '2j ni;les t'rom the entrance, where the course into it is S.S.W.
1^ miles; at the entrance it is a tiiird of a mile broad, at tlie hoad it is
liroader; there is I'J and 15 fathoms water, and fnood anchorage insecurity
rt;;ai:)st ail winds; at 3i miles from the entrance the course of the river is
W. by S. 7 miles, in tlie middle of it are several great and small islands :
S-.iilinnup aion;i the south side of the islands there is no danj^er, and not lesi
than 49 or 50 fathoms water, bvil on the starboard, or north side of the
i>lan<ls there is much less water, and anchorage all the way up in 12 and 17
fathoms. The course up the third part of the river is W.h.W. 4 miles; here
K only two islands, on the larboard or south siiie of which is very good un-
riiorioL;, in 1'2 faliioms; on the north side is 30 fathoms water; the land
j'.ixnit lierc is vi-ry hi;;h, and well co-.a'rcd with wood; here t'.ie water is t'resli,
tind 7 miles further up is a bar, on which there is not above 3 feet at low
water, the river aljove that bar runs W. and W.N.W. 6" niiles, but the head
of it is not yet known; by the rapid stream probably it comes Irom great
lakes afar olT.
One mile to the northward of St. Francis riter, there is a harbour, called
lilerchanf wen's /laihour ; between the river and this harbour there arc two or
three bunken rocks, lying a cable's length off from the second point from the
river; there is no danger in sailing into this harbour, it runs in first W.N.W.
sind then W. about a mile, it is two cables length wide at the entrance, aiid
3 at the head of it, where ships may an( iior in 12 fathoms water.
To the northward of this harbour, round a small point, there is an inlet
which runs Up W. N. W. 5 miles, where it turns to the southward into Sf,
Tvancis rkcr ; it is about one third of a mile broad at the entrance, and
continues the same breadth about 2 miles up, and then becomes very broad,
with an island in the middle, shaped not unlike a leg; there is no danger in
this inlet but what Hp])ears above water; along tlie south side oi' Lag hsland
there is anchorage in 12 or 13 fathoms. At about 3j miles within the en-
trance, thelo.ver part oi Leg island forms three very good harbours, with 7
and 12 fathoms water in them: on the north side of Erg inlmid ihcve is a
liir^e space, about a mile broad, and two miles long; in it is from 6"0 to 80
I'dthoms water, from which to the N. \V. is a passage into Cilbvrf's river,
which runs from thence W.N.W. 6 miles, and is about half a mile broad, and
from 50 to GO fathoms water in it ; then Gillcrt's river <livi(les into two
blanches, one to the W.N.W. 7 orS miles, the otfier S.S.W.6"miles,the he:ul

'I\\o miles to the southward of Cape St. Michael, lies Occasional harbour,
which may be easily known by two large rocks called Txiin ruck, which lies
about tv.o thirds of a mile without the ciitrance; they lie close together ;
ships may pass on cither side of them ; the entrance to this harbour is be-
tween two iii!;h lauds, and runs up S.VV. about 2 miles, tlien W.N.W. There
is no danger in this harbout, both sides being steep too; and about 2 miles
up tliere is good anchorage in 7 and 10 fathoms; the winds between the
high land at tlic entrance always sets right into tlie harbour, or right out.
From Cape Si. Miehati's to Oipe Bliij', the course is N. by W. 4 leagues ;
these two capes form tiic great bay of Ht. Michael, which contains a great
inimher of islands, inlets, rivers, &c. which are not yet known. Cape Bluff"\s
ahigh blutf lairl, and may be seen 15 or It) leagues; the best place yet known
for large ships to anchor within Ht. Michael's bay, is on the south side, that
ii first keep Vupe St. Michael shore on board, then keep along the south side
of the first island you meet with, which is called Long island, till you come
near as lar as the we-.t end of it, and there anchor from 12 to 20 fathoms ;
you will there lie iand-locked, and may work out again to sea on either side
of Lowi; island. At the entrance of this bay is a large square island, within
which are many small islands, which form several harbours.
The land from Cape BLJ'lo the northward lies N. N. E. 5 or 6 leagues,

by an island covered w ith wood. You may sail into this harbour c:; either

*r these islands, called Square inland, lies in the mouth of the bay, and ?s 3
miles loni;, nnd very high land.
'J'hc best anchorage for lar^je vessels in St. J^Hc/incl's bay, is on the soutli
siJe; that is, keep cape ^U Midiiul's sliore on board, then keep along lh«
foulh side of the first island you meet with, which is called hong island, till
"ou come near as far as the west end of it, nnd there anchor fr.)m ]'2 to 20
ilhoms; you will there lay land-locked, and may work out again lo sea on
either side of Long inland.

very high land, rapaed nt top, am! steep towards the sea. These capes form
the bay of St. Michael, in which are several sirms well stored with wood.
Cape Bluff' harbour is a small harbour, fit only for small vessels. To sail
into it, keep cape LtujT shore on board till you "come to a small island, and

after you are above which, the biiy widens to upwards of a mile acres ; n.id
you may anchor in IS and 20 falhonis water, good holding ground, and se-
cure from all wind'*.
Three miles south from Cavnda point is Cniiadnhrad. It is pretty hijjh, and
ytry liistin^uisliable, either to the northward or the southward; but wlienyu
■ re directly to the eastward of it, it is rullier hid by the high lands hi tli«
fcuntry, called the (^Imtdt,
Upwards of 4 miles to the P.W. from Cannda head is Jtooj)in<r harbour, by
the French called Sansf'mid. '1 his place has two anus, or rather bays, theoncj
lyinti up the northward, and the rither to the westward. There is very deep
wafer in the north arr,, until you approach near the head; it is a loose sandy
bottom, entirely operi to southerly winds, and not a )ilace of siif-ty for ship-
j)ing. In tiie westward arm a ship may safely anchor in a moderate tlcpth of
>vater.
About 4 miles to the Foutlnvard of Hooping htrhoiir is Fovvhte. There ig
no anchorage in tliia place until yoti approach near the head, where there is a
cove on the north side. The land is cxtrenu'ly hiyh on bo'li sides, and deep
water cIofc to the shore. This cove is about 2 or 3 miles from the entrance,
in which there is anchorage in 18 fathoms water, but so small, that a sh'p
mw?t moor head and stern. Tiiere is another arm, which runs ne T 2 milei
ftbovo this; it is extremely narrow, and so deep water, that it is never used
by shippin!.^
Three lepj^ues to the S. W. from Fortchrc, is Great /larhoiir deep, by ths
Trench called Bat/ Or;iii;ic: It may be known from any othci place, by the
land at its entrance being much lower than any land on the north side vi
IFhitr's bai/, n\v\ bears N.W. J N. fron' Piirtridge point. This is a larjje bay.
A little within the entrance there is a small coye on each side, iicnerally used
by the fishing ships, though very dangerous for a ship to lie in : They alwayj
moor head and stern ; notwitli'landinj!, if a gale of wind happens to the east,
jaard, they are in the greatest danger. Near .'3 miles within the entrance of
this bay, it branches out in three arms: In the north arm, which is much
the largest, there is so deep water, you will have no anchorage until you ap-
proach near the head; the middle arm is the best place for ships to anchor,
in 7 lathoms water, and a good bottom.

It is but an inditfcrent ii.uljour for shippiu'r. Scarcely 2 miles further, is an.

Upwards of 3 leagues to the S.S.W, from Great cat arm, isCtmey arm head.
This is the most remarkable land on the west side oilVhi'ebai): it bciKS W.
JS.W. dibtaiKC 8 leagues iiMn\ l^artriilgv ptuiit. 'J'lie land, all the way, runs
nearly straight, until you coiire to this head, which projects out nearly I A
mile, forming a deep bight, which is called Cheat con:}/ arm. There is no Kiiul
of shelter for shi|>pii)!» at thin place. N.W. from the head, is Little cuntif arm,
which is a convenient little place for Hshing craft, but at the entrance it it
U.IU bli.-.'ow for a ship.
From Cuiiey head, about 4 miles further up the bay, is a cove called Frtfiic/f
man's cove, in which a ship might safely mciior.
From rreiiehmuii's aii'e, about a league furliier to the south, round a low
ragged point, is Jackson's arm, in which is prei»^' deep water, except in a small
co\e on the starboard hand, where a ship may uiour head aad bleru. Thi»
place affords the largest timber in Whites twij.
From Jackson's arm, 4 miles further to the soutbwai'd, is the north end of
Sup's iduiiJ, wl'ich bears S.W. g W. diblnuce about 10^ miles from I'art ridge
point, '1 his island is 1 1 miles in circuit, by whkh, and Guat island, is formed
a long piissage, or arm, called Sop's arm ; iit the iiurth of which a ship may
safely anchor, just within the north end oi Sop's island. The best passage in-
to this arm, is by the north side of Sup's island. '1 here is alio anchoraue be-
tween Sop's ib/flHi/and the main, before you come the length oi' Goat i^land^
but the water is deep; there is a cove at the north end of this islaml, called
Si:p's cove, and two other small coves opposite on the main, called Hart'scoves,
ill all of which u fishery is carried on, but ships generally anchor in the up-
per part of the arm, williin Goat inland.
From the north end of ii<;;;'4 island, to the river at the head of ilie bay, tha
distance is upwards of 6 leaguts. This place is called Gold cove. Mere th«
river branches out into several small streams of water.
Near 5 leagueidown from the river head, and nearest the S.F. side of the
bay, lies Granhi/'s island, by some called Mid-buy island. 'Ihis island aflord*
lio cove nor shelter for boats. On the S.K. part, about '2 cai)les length off,
there is a shoal, whereon is not above 1^ fathoms water. Nearly abreast, or
rather below this island, on the S.LL. side oiiha H'hitebtn/, is Puruickcove, iii
which shipping may safely anchor, and good convcniencics for the tishcp),'.
About 5 miles to tlie N.E. of this cove, and \V. by S. ^ S. trom the north end
nf Sop's island, lies ll\stu:ard arm. Tliis arm lies up about S.F. 4 mile?, iii
wliich ships may safely anchor, iii about 18 fathoms water: 'there is a cov«t
on each side ol this arm, at its entrance ; that on the N.K. side, called Bear
c./iT, is much the best, where small ships may securely moor, sheltered from
iill winds, in li f.iihoius water; the other cove, which is called H'Hd cove, .it
Lut an inditi'erent place, being open to the N.W. winds, and a foul rocky bot-
tom; ilie point on the N.E. side oi IVcstcrn arm, is called Hauling point.
'1 wo leagues to the XJ'',. i/f Hauling point, is another arm, lying up about
S.F,. by S. 3 or 4 miles, called Middle arm. At the entrance of this arm is :i
i"fky ib'and, from which, quite home to both shore?, is a shoiil, whereon i»

4 and 5 iHthoins, entirely land-lockeii. Little round harbour, *hich is about
1 ,j mile round a point to the N.K. trom this, is not fit for shipping; it is on-

Let ween the two <'apes.
15ut to the itorthward oT«//t' Ballard is another cove for IkkjIs; and about
4 miles troni the capo is I'lrslmatcr bai/, ncariiall way between Cape nallaid
and Renoxies, lic/WiCcs being the soutlvcrniost harbour tiu; English have in
Isexifoujidlaiitl.
J'roni Cape r.allaril to the south point of Rawxes, tlic course is N.N.F.. a-
bnut 2 ieajiues. Iltiiotici is but a bad luirbour, by leason of sunken rocks
^: iiij,' II), lying tift' the Jiiiruay, besides other rocks on eacii iide, but it is a
,<^ood place lor iishiiig.
Tlmse who go in tiicre should be very well acquainted ; when you are in,
svliere ships usually ride, ycu have not above 1 j teet water, and but small
drill, by reason i.f ^hojils about you, and a S.S.H. wind brings in a great sea,
so that It is vcxy bad riaing, and only used in summer time: The Jiarbour
Jirs N.W. about a league in ; but you must keep the south side going in, for
(hat is the clearest.
Olf the staith |)oint of the enf raiicc of tlic harboiir is an island, a small disr
.tance from the sliore; and olf the said south point of the harbour, b.li. by
]■'.. about half a league is a grciit rock Jiigh above water, calkd Jienonr-s rock,
w liich you may see at leiisl a leagues olf in fair weatlier, but the rock is bold
to !',(> on either side.
From Rnioncs pii>:t to rcymoivrs, is Ij league N.E.by N. N N.E. and N.
toiuliiii' about, but beiiiga little without Reno-dcs, the course will be N.N.E;
till you come open of t)ie harbour ot Ferwout-i. Ik'tweeii the said two har-
bours is a cove, called Bears core : a place only tor boats to stop at if the
wind be contrary, but no iiihal>itant.s.
J'rrwoues is a very good harbour, and bold going in, no danger but the
sliore itself; it lies in N.W. and N.W. by \V. Being past the entrance, there
aie s(-venil coves on each side of the harbour, w'.icre sJiips may and olten do
ride; the (jrst cove on tlic starboard side(goingin)or north si<le,is called Clear's
core, where shijis seldom (but may) ride; the ne.Mwjthin it, a little distance
on the north sjde, is the Admiral's cove, (where lives a plajiter) ; in this cove
3(iu lie land locked from all winds, and ride in 7 or 8 fathoms, good ground,
'1 he lice .1 l^iiira/'s core (so callrd) is on the south side, faithor in, or more
westerly, and is a very good place to ride in I'or many ships, good ground,
and above the said cove, on the south side, farther in, is another arm or
cove, where also you lio vcure. Yon have about "0 (athoms wafer in the
eiitiMiice of the harbour ; but within you lune from 14- to \'2, 10, <), 8, 7,
asid fathoms, as yoti please, and the head runs up at least 1 h miles.
I'rojn I'ermories to A^ua Jort, the course is N. by E. about a league, be-
tween wiiich are two heads, or points of land, aixuit n mile from each otlier,
the soutliernmost, or ;u'xt to J'lrtinrdCK, is called Bald head, ai;out a mile
iioin the harbour's nintith ot' Jnnivvcs ; between wiiicii is a pteity deej) bay,
but all tiill of rocks, and jjo safety for boats to Kiine on shore at in a storm ;

ot' Aguafort harbour, is N.W. by N. 1 niilf, which harbour is very good, and
safe tur ships; it lii-s in W.N.W. There is a great rock ab< ve water g( ii.i; in
on the south side, which is bold (oo; you run up about 2 miles within the
harbour's mouth, and ride on the north side, and lie land h.cked, as it were
pond, like to Ferr/iland pool, but larger, where, witi. a piere ot limlev, jou
may make astHge trom your ship to your stage on sh«.re, being an excellent
harbour, and water deepenouf;h.
From /Igva fort to I'erryland head (the south part of the head) the coiiife
is cast, about 3 miles, t'roB/ inland, being about a mile from A^iia Joit, lies
K.N.I'., from the harbour's mouth, and trom the S.lv end of Crow island, lie»
a ihoal about a cable's length.
From the north [tart oiierri/land head to Ferrtilaiid, the course is W. b. N.
about 2 miles: to goinio Ferri/hmd port or harbour, you must sail between
the north part of Ftrryland head and Huoy island; it is not very broad, but
there is water enough, and clean giouml ; being withi'i the said hiin^i island,
y'>u may run in and anchor where you please ; it being of a good handsome
breudth ; or you may go into the I'ool, which is a place on the larboard side
(going in) with a point of beach, where you ride in 1 2 feet water at low wa-
ter, and where the admiral's ships generally ride, (the stages beirjg near, se-
veral planters, inhabitants, live in this place.) From Fjiioii island, almost into
the land to the westward, arc small islands and rocks, winch make terryhud
harbour, or port, and divide it fiom Caplin's bay ; between the said rocks, in
some places, is a passage tor boats, and ihe water rises heieahouls 3i,4, and
s^tnetimes 5 feet, and somelim^'S 3 feet, and so it does i;ci.eri.l!y iii all the
Juirbouis of'tliis land.
From Ferrylatid head to cape Brnyle head, is N. by E. almost 4 m;lcs, be-
tween which are three islands, which lie before Vaplinx bay ; there aie chiin-
r.cls to sail between them to Caplm's bay, ilv,\t is, between Bufiy island, which
is thestornmost and grciitest, and Oi-isr island, which is the middlemost, ;in(l
is the second in bigness next to Ihioi; islniid; also you may sail through ht-
l\\ Qcn Goose island, \'i\\\c\\ is the miildlemost, and intone island, wliich is the
nnrtheinmost ; but these |)assages are huge enough for ships to sail or turn in
or out; but between Stone island w\u\ the north shore, (that is, eape Ihoyle)
ti.crc is no passage for a ship, only trr boats, there being f. great rock between
Slioie inland and the north >hoie.
Caplm's bay js jjirge and good, and runs in a great way W.N.W. at least 6
ir.i'.es within the said islands, wlieie iniiiiy ships may ride in !!0od ground, tind
w here sometimes the Newfoundland ships meet that are bound with convoy
to the Slreights, but generally reiidezvour at the bay of Bvik,

a bar or lc(li;e shoots over from the south side, almost to tiie north shore.
To kii(<w wh"!) you aie near the said bar,or tedpe, observe this mark; you
Mill see two white rocks on the land, by the waier side, in a bank on the
north bide, which shews whiter than any place else, and is about a mile be-
low, or to the eastward of the beach, which is j;ood to be kmmn, btin^a low

ty near, where you w ill have 3^ fathoms on the bar, and presently after 4, 5,
0' and 7 fathoms; but ifyou stand over to the southward till you are got
within the sai<l bar «)r ledge, you will not have above 7, S and p feel water :
this sand tends S.K. from athwart the aforesaid tw(»white rocks, and ruiisover

From tlip pi..':it of the Crates to tlicN.W. or norlli end of Micislanil Jjaca'
Jieii, tlio cuiir.-c is K. by S. 4-^ or 5 niiliis.
from the (iralrs to Break-heart puiiil, N.N.W. W.N.W. and W, tending
abcjut t vo imiiits. liotween the Ornte.s and this point m a bay, where bouU
nuiy lie v\iih a wind ott' the hind of Brcak-lmirt putnt ; there is a ledge of
rock>, l)iu al;ve water.
I'Voni limik-hrarl piiiiit to S/icrXL^irh point, i^oing into Olil Perlieaii, tho
roinse is S.W. by S. .) or (> miles', 'i'o the southward of Break-heart point is
a bniall i.sl.ind suinc little distance oft' the shore, called Seurvy island ; between
the said island and Chrruieh point runs in a pretty deep bay, and lies iti S.E,
Irom Hheru/c/i /loinf, about three-fiuarters of a nijle.
Sheruick piiiiil is bidd, olf which is a rock above waterj; this point is the
north |)oiru ot Otrl Per/icaii. 'I'hosi^ who are bound to Old Perliean, emmot <;o
with a sliij) to the nmthw.ird of the island, that is, between the island aiiH
S/ierniik pnitit. Althnigh it seems a fair passage, yet it is altogether foul
ground, and a sloal of rocks from the main to tite island (which island is
about annic and a ([uarter rnund, and about half a mile in length) ; there-
tore whoever intends lor OA/ Perliean witli a ship, must go the southward of the
island, bi-twcn that and the main, and run in within the island, and anchor
in 4 or i tathiiius. l!ut there is a rock just even with the water, and some
iinder water, that lie about the midille of the bay, w ithin the island, or rather
nearest to the niain. Old Perliean is but an indifferent road ; if the wind
comes out at W.N.W. you are forced to buoy your cables for the badness of
gromid, and tlie boats go a great way to catcli tish, about 5 or 6 nnles, unless
It be in tiie very middle of summer. In this place live several planters.
I'n-m Old I'crlican to Silk cute is W.S.W. Southerly, about 7 leagues ;
Sill' eore is but an indifterent place for ships, such as tiaif Veriis.
I'iom Old Perliean to Nev) Perliean, the course is W.S.W. 8 leagues. This
i'^ a v(i-y g(;od harbour, where you nuiy lie landlocked in 5, 6", 7, 8, 9> or 10
(;:thoms. it is very bold ai\d larg<? going in, so that if you can see the point
before night, you may safely run in, nothing to hurt you but the shore it-
self; theeasttrnmost point going in is called SmiUti/-nu>ie point, And thewest-
ernmr,st Gorlub point, between w hich i» the entrance, which is alinost two
nules broad, and has about 20 fathoms water ; and as you sail ia it grows
nirrowcr andshoaler, lying in first W.S.W. after runs up to the westward in
a bite, where you lie landlocked, and above half a mile broad, so that you
may turn in or out, and anchor in what depth you j)lease, from 12, 10, 8, 6,
3 or 4 fathoms, very good ground. From New Perliean it is about 5 leagues
over to Random-head, and they lie nearest N.W. and S.F,. one from the other.
In tiie river or bay of Random are several arms and harbours, for7{wrfomand
Smilh'n sound come all into one, but it is 9 f" 10 leagues under the head of
et'.c'h where they meet, and there is a little island at the head, where it 4 and
"> iatlioms; only at the island going thr«iigli y:)U have not above 12 feet wa-
Tir, and it is not a mile broad there. Swilti s sound Yn'y.'ni W.S.W. about 15
leagues from Ronavrntnre tuTiekle. liarhoi/r, the bo'lui.i of Triniiij bay ; but;
there is a bay, called Hay Hulls, which runs in 3 or 4 leugues, and is not over,
from thence to Plaeentia Iniv, (the back or west side of the land) about two
niiles; and ttte islan<ls of Plaeentia bai/ are about ,9 or 10 leugues long
eacii, a!id a broad on which are many deer ; the) lis N.W. and b.E.
I'll. 1,1 fjonavrnfiire to Ireland's ei/c is S.W. 2 or 2A leagues.
From Daiiiixent are- head to Piunuvenhire. the course is N.W. half a point
We lerly, about 2 miles, or more ; but iiring got a mile from the head, then
the harb')ur lies N.W. by N. ab')Ut a niiie to tiie Admiial's stage. The port
I'onavinturc lies within two small islands, between which you sail in, butyou

Uadin" wind, no danecr, and have * or 5 fathoms at least, and run within th»
said ishinds, and anchor in that depth, in good ground. ^ ou have there fi
very secure place for boats, in bad weather, running in within a point behind,
or to the norlhwar<l of the Admiral's stages, like a great pond, leaving the
planter's house on the larboard side; this pbce will contain above 100 boats
'" Thore'fs an island which lies oflthe west point of the harbour, called G///Z
island, off which they used to Jish ; from the said island the harbour lies in N.
about a mile There aic several islands which are without, oft Bovaiaiturc,
the one is from tlie port S.S.W. 5 or 6 miles, called G)Tf« i.v/««|i', which is a
pretty targe island, and you see it as soon as you come out of 1 rmty harbour,
in fafr weather ; another island lies S.W. by S. 3 miles, and anotiier island
without that, about 4 or 5 miles from Bomneniurc ; the course is S.W. by h.
■ From tlie Bomnentiirc-ficad to the Horscchops is E.N.E. 33 leagues.
From Bonarenture-hcad to Trinihi li<,rl:ouv, is N.E. by N. about .3 leagues ;
between which arc some bays, but not for ships to ride m, unless the wind is
oH' the shore. • . n- • -^ ;
The Horscrhops and SI,rrukfcpni„t (!)emg the north point of Irnnh/ liar-
hour) lie W.N.W. and K.8.K, one Imm the other, 2 leagues. between tli«;
Hormhops and Trinltn /mrhoiir arc two places, where ships used to fish : the
CMC is tAlisUmrhoiiv; anA is W.N.W. from the //«mc//o/>.?2 miles, and after
you arc about a point, tends E.N.i:. again ; it is a clean bay, and you rioe in
4 or .5 fathoms water; a planter or two live here.
From En'^lish harly-mr to Salnwi, core, the course is Im.W. by W. westerly,
about hiilf a league ; it is a place for fishing, and there is a river which run*
up about 1 miles to the northward. ; _
Without Salmon core is a hea.iland, called Foxes island, yet joins to th-.:
main by tfie neck of bench. T<, the imrthward of the said island, or head-
jand, between it and Ukriiick poirt, run. in a bay, di led Holm, Hood s ;mul
in ilie sipd I.MV. lu liind a point which lies out, small ships rule, and tish there.
From the I'lorsrc/wps to Trinity harhoin; the course is W.N.W. about two
leagues. Trimlii ha, hour is the best and laige>t harbour in all the laud, hav-
JnAeveral arms'and coves, where many hundred ships may all rule landlock-
ed"- If is a place which you may turn in or out, being bold too oi) either side,
neither is there anv danm-r but what you see, only going into the S.W. arm,
wherethc Admiral's stage usually is Ijos a shoal, called tlio Mu.chel bavk,
which shoots off from the point, wiiliin the small island, on the larboard side
lioina in, and lies over N.W. about a third of the breadth of that arm, which
vou must avoid : Being within that bank, which will discover itsell by the
colour of the water, you may ei'.ge close to the south shore, if you please, or
ke-p your lead win-, to avoid tiie Mmclid bunk, giving it a little distance :
YOU may anchor in *14, 12 or 10 faOioins, and you may come so near to the
Maae on shore, as to make a stag^vith topmasts to your stage on shore, to
Jade or unlade your ship. It is/ most excellent harbour ; for after you are
in this S W. arm, there is anolfier runs up ^^•.N.W. near 2 miles ; ai)d near
tiiehead of that another run/up S.S.W. but tlie:e is a bar or ledge, at the
mtrance of this S S.W. art/ but the former W.N.W. is a large place, and

From the Horscc/iups to the south he:id o( Cat fnliiia liai/, la's .V.. by N. and
N.I",. .5 leagues. Al)out a leiigue to the northward of the Jforsechopx, is
(•iccn /••/I/, which runs pretty deep in, btit no place where ships use to ride or
fiili, lleiiig past Grcin linu, there is no place or cove for boats, till you come
lo lldgi^cd Harbour, or Catt'.iliiia.
From the south head oiCulfiilinn buy to the north head, is N.N.E. 3 leagues,
between which two lieads is Ragged harbour and Caltaliiia karboiir. Catlalina
hill hour lies from the .south head N. by F. Northerly, about two miles.
Uir^gid harbour is so called, l)y reason of tiie abundance of ragged and
craggy rocks, which lie Lelbre and wit'iiii the liarb:)ur ; there is no going into
tiie southward, with ships, but only for boats, and that you must be well ac-
cjuainted witli, for tiiere arc very many rocks above and under water.
Tiiose wild intend for lt<i<i:grd harbour, with a ship, must go to the nortli-
w.ird of all the aforesaid r.iggcd rocks or islands, that lie before it, (whicK
Illlike the harbour) and run so far to tlic northward till they bring liaggcd
It.ir'.iour open ; then sail in between a round island which lies close to the
r.hiin, and a great black rock, wiiich lies oft" the north end of all the Ragged
i^liinds ; sail in till they are aliout tlie middle of the aforesaid islands, which
will be to seaward of them and anchor thtjre. There is a river of fresh wa-
tir at the head of the harbour, but no inhabitants.
'Two miles to the northward of Ragged Harbour, is the harbour of Catali-
t"t, wlii^li is a very good and safe harbour, and good ground, not above S
tiitiioms, from 3 to +, 5, 6, 7, or 8 fathoms, as you jilease. You maj', with
a leading wind, sail between the small island, wliich is a little to the south-
ward of the harbour, and have 4 or 5 fathoms at the least going through, but
it is not above a cable's length broad ; or you may go without the saitl island,
to the eastward of it, giving the island a small birth, and so sail in with the
middle of the harbour ; for about a mile distance from the south point of the
harbour, F.N.K. is a shoal, upon which, if there be ever so small a sea, it
bleaks; but you may sail between the island and the shoal, or you may go
to the northward ol it, between the shoal and the north .shore, and borrow
off the north side of the main, off Little Cattalinn, a bay wliich lies in.
IViug ofi Little Cattaliiia, all the way to the harbour, you have not above
10 fathoms, und from 10 to 8 and 7 tathoms, tlien 8 and .9 fathoms again.
It is rei'Oi ted there is a rock which lies about three c|uarters of a cable's*
I' ngth from the south point of the entering into the harbour, which has but y
I'l- 10 feet water on it; however, it is easily avoided, it any such, by keeping
f iiiietliing nearer to the north shore, till you are shut within the said point,
lor all tiie harbour over is good sounding. Close to the shore, witiiin tlio
liurbour, you may anchor in 5 fiillioms, liindlocked. In the S.W, arm the
harbour lies in W.S.'vV. or you may anchor in 3* fath'Miis within, to the
Miulhw.ird of the little small gixen island, within tlie said harbcmr, or run up
'2 miles towards the river-head, where tresli watir runs down. In this harbour
yju may anchor iij 7, (), 5 or -^ faliioins. Tiicrc is a kind of a btiar rises in

ing to the northward is the Brandi/x, which almost always break; they iie mar
a (|Uarter (da mile to the southward of a low rock above water, close under
liie land of Mortirrxicnt hrad. If the wind should take you a-head after you
are will. in Iron inland, take care to keep Morticr uest head open to the \\v^[-
ward of Iron island, in order to avoid Gregory's rock, on which is only 2 tath-
oms water. The mark to carry you on this rock is, to bring the (lag stah on
St. George's island (in the center of the passage between G rtvf^ /iuriff and Par-
di/'s islands and Mortier uest head) on with the west side of Iron island : this
rock almost always breaks : \'essels may pass with sal'eiy between this ri'ck
and Iron island, taking care to give Iron island a birth ol one cable's leni;t!).
On the main, witiiin Pardifs island, are two remarkable white marks in the
rocks, the northernmost of these marks brought on with tiie north part ol l^ar-
dii's island and I run island, N. by \L. ^ E. will carry you on the Galloping /Iw

called the White horse.
Dodding rock lies about a quarter of a niilc from the easternmost part of
Great Burin island.
Murtier liunk lies E. by S. 2 leagues from Iron island, and N. 2.)' E. 5
leagues from Cape.lmie ; the shoal part of this bank is about one league over.
On it you have not less than 7 fathoms water, but, by the tishernu Ii'saccount,
tiierc is not more than 4 fathoms on one part of it : in bad weatiier, the sea
breaks very high on it.
About 3 miles to the N.N.E. from Iron island is the opening of Mortier
hail, at the entrance of which is a round island, called Mortier island, lying a
third ',)f the distance from the west side. Ships may sail in oneither sideof it.
It is bold too all round. Close to the (irst point beyond the island, on tiie
larboard side going in, is another little island, scarcely iierccjitilile, as it- li« r»
»;lose under the land; and, two cables leif^tl) trom it, in a din'Ct line tiiward-*
iiie ouler i^laiid, is a sunken rock, on which tliC sea breaks in Imd weather ;
there is no other danger in this bay. At (he hotlom of if, 1 J mile from.'V*'? •■
tier island, on the east side, there is a cove, called iuxane, wherein is goo<i
anchorage, and room for one ship to moor in fjfatiujms, good holding ground.
I'iiey vvill lie two points oppn to the sea, that is from S.S.E. to S.E. A ground
swell tuinbh's into the rwve in bad weather, but no anchor was ever known to
come home here. Fishing ships sometimes ride here the season. On the west
side of the bay is the harbour, which is small and narrow, but a vevy good
'UK' for small vciseis, where they lie moored to the shore. There is 7 aiid 8
fathoms ihruugh the entrance, and '2 tiilhoms when in the harbour, and suHi-
rient room for tii'iy shallops at the head of it. OH' the starboard point going
ill, is a rock, which at high water is always covere<l.
Vroneij island lies N. by E. nearly '2 miles trom Mortier rr.'i/ point. His is

Two miles ami a half from Cronri/ island is the ei'trimcc into Mortier hay ;

Directions for passing the Traverse.
Br.INC. past Ihinifinpf, or when it boars N.N.E. from you, haul over foi*
Mie Tnnnsr, v.hich ouuht to be pi-vsinl in a very clear .lay. If the points o*
the bhoal.s i.ie not buoye.l, which for greater sufcty should be done, becaUM-
ill ha/v wei.ther the luud nunU cannot l)e s(^n, v.hich ait: three mounti.iiiJ
very tlirinlHnd.and a little round hdl to the wctward, may likewise be miule.
UM'of, which, alter you are past Ihinit aqw, and crossin;^ in the Ir.nrnv,
must alwavs be kept to the westward of the east end of .l/(/f/rt/»t', or otherwise
you will e^rlainly be on a sand shoal, which extends itself from BHvntioj^t
Ic'l"-. This mountain, in clear weather, may always be seen, and keepinj: it
a ship's lenuth to the westward of the east end oi Mulattic, u the best maik
for the 'yimrrse; and this course should be coiitnuie<l until two points on th<i
south side ol ihleam are opened a ijood ship's length olV each other, that is,
at. .Mill's pniiia, with the point of Dauphinc titer, and then you may bear uj),
and steer up alons; with the point of St. .fo/m, still a little le.'^s open, as yoii ^o
farther up towards the island of Orleaiix, to avoid a little shoal that isotf the
«ast end of Orlcam, on which there is not (juite three fathoms, at tow water,
off which there is no dam.^er for any ship, except it ■'hould be dead low water;
yet St. John's pitnt should nut be shut in with Vaiiphine point (or else you
iiwy be (.n the shoal that reaches irom the eas.t end of Orleans) till you are
almost al)reast of Cape Torment, or until it bears N. 'I'lierc is another nun k
to know wheiryou arc far enoiii'ji over from Hwnt eupe, and that you may
bear op, td)serve on the soutii shore a little round mountain (there beiii;^ no
other near) when vou have brou.'jit this little mountain open to the westward
ol the 'I'u'o-fiiwl island, yju may bear up for Orleftni, ice. ( As the 'l\DO-fiettd
islii 11(1 <:Aiw.>t be well distin2,u!shed by a stranj;er, from the other islands, so
it may be suppnseil a 5tran>Zirr will nut attempt to pass the Tnrccrsc, without
lirst acqiiaintim; himself with it.) This little mountain, when open of the
/t(W((w//.v/'(/i(.s"will bear S. b'l)' E. there is m) dan-er in standin;;; farther
to the southwanl, as the channel i- pretty wi-'.e ; but as tlieie is a slioal be-
tween you and Hot island, on which is but J) leef at low water, and uneven
rocks; to avoid this shoal you should observe the point of t>i7((.vt« for mark:',
as aforesaid.
There i,-. a mark to know when you are comiiv^ on the ed,;:e of this svimI,
which is, iibseive to the eastward, on the south main land, a mountain, which
appears to have three points, of an equal dist.mce ; when this mountain is
brought on the east point of Canoe island, you are comin;}; onthe ed^e of this
shoal ; there is likewise a little rocky island otl" Burnt cape, wlixli, when you
arc on the end ol this shoal, will be "about 2 ship's length open (if Cape Goose.
When v:m are on the shoal the island will be nearly in a line with Cape Goose,
jtnd the I hrre-poiiileil mountain wilii CVoK/f island.
I'o make use of the tiiree mount dns aforesaid.
In cominj; up pa^t Burnt cape, when you have l^rought the west end of the

with the cast end of Kot island, but it should not be brou!>ht to the westward
of It until you have open St. John's point, ^'ou niii-ht by this last mark j:u
over near Rot inland, and go up to the southward oj the mi(U!!o shea!, wilh
.SV. John's C/iiiri/i just open ti ihe point ; in this channel is (lee|i water, Inn it
i-" narrow ; it is culled tiie (UdTnnose, and the other is called the ^Vtu' Jia-
^■nc. It is not proper for tlie Old Travtrnc to be made use of, as the |)aii.af;e
between the middle shoal and the sand off /}«;;;/(•(//)< A r/^,- is narrow, and vou
will be so much the lon<«or going across the tide, which may carry you out
of the way if yon art^ not very attentive to the marks. 'Ihe middle shoal
reaches up the river until you have got IklULasc cliunh a good deal open of
\\w west end ot Hot itJiind, but as a mark of this kind is very duceivnig, it
leaches until you have brought the cast end of the middle mountain on tho
west end of JUit ialund, and then you will be past it, and have the channel
open from near the i.-huul of Oiliuns, to very near the west etui of Rot inland,
und may anchor between Oilrnns and Madame islands, or proceed up the
river, at pleasure. If it should be thick weather, and you would pass the
'J'ravcrsr, and the mountains cannot be seen, nor the ends of the •,hoals Imoy-
td, it might be done by keeping erne or two housos «|K>n of the east end
of Rut inland, or the tliird house may be brought in a line with it, but should
not be opened ; and these marks may be observed until you have opened St.
John's point, as aforesaid.
But as these houses may be mistaken li)r others, even by a person who is
iiccjuainted with the Travrise, it is not sale to use them. It is certain, the
greatest diHictilty of the Trutcisc is in coining over from Burnt cape, to open
St. John's point, as the channel is but narrow, and you are so long going acioss
the tide ; and at Burnt cape the channel is not above ;J of a mile wide be-
tween the cape and the point of the ledge. You should likew isc observe here,
to keep clear of the ledge, to keep a part of the Butt (which is a high spot of
land in the middle of St. Joachim's tneadow, and appears like a platform or
islan(l) always shut in behind Cape Torment ; that is you must not open it
all of the cape until Burnt cape bears N. of you, or you will certainly be ou
the ledge. The soundings at the edge of this ledge arc very uncertain, for at
one cast you will have 3 fathoms, and at the very next cast (heaving the lead
fast) you may be on shore. It may be observed, that just as you have S/.
John's point opening, there is not any more water any where in the channel,
between Orleans shoal and the shoal off Burnt Cape, than 5 fathoms, at hjw
water ; but after you have bore up for Orleans, there is 6 and 7 fathoms at
low water, within a ship's length of the sands that dry.

them, you may sec Skutockliilk bearing about N.N.E. The tide of flood
sets here H.N J:. and the ebb W.S.W. but as soon as you are 9 or 10 leagues
from the land, the current runs, in general, to the S.W. westward.
If you fall in with Mount Dcsat rock, wl.ich lies S. 0' leagues from Mount
Dcsat hills, you must observe the tide of flood sets W.S.W. along shore, tdl
vou come to the Fox islands ; but the same flood runs up to the northward

J^k-au-liaut, in steering W.S/.VV. you will leave Mantiniais islamk, and Man-
tinicus Seal islands to the southward of you. (If at night or thick weather it
isadviscable to go to the tfiuthward of all these islhnds, unless you arc well
acquainted.) When you pass to the westward of Mantiimiis islands, the main,
passase trom sea to I'aioisait bay, lies about N. by W. If you go into this
passage you leave Mantieicus island on your starboard and the two Green isl-
ands on your larboard hand, steering north westerly, 4 leagues, and if bound
up the bay, follow yoir directions for Penobscot bay.
If you conic in fri'Ai sea and make the island of Manhigin, when it bears^
N. or N.N.W. it ap) cars like two islands ; but when it bears east or west,
it appears in one isla/id. Dniniscovt islands lie to the W. by N. of it, which
?re all bare of trees fxccpt the north part. The rocks, calleil Huntam ledge,
lie 2 miles from Diwiiscove, S.W. or W.S.W. Wheh you are 6" or 7 leagues
off at sea, you will have 70 or SO fathoms water, with a S.W. current. In
general, between ihimisc^vc and Mmi/ieigin island, the flood tide parts aivi
sets E.N.E. to tl;r, eastward, and W.S.W. to the westward as far as the island
of Seguine, and to the northward up to Droad bay, Shecpscut and Kcumbeck li-

this course till you are 5 leni(ues from the light (or (ill the lij^ht is nearly run
down) then liuul up north till you make Vmmequid point, from ^vhence you
may steer for George's river, as above directed. If you should mact with the
wind a-heati, you may anchor oft" Gaif's cove, taking care to avoid a sunken
ledije, which lies Ciust from Ga/n cove, near the middle of the channel, and
lias 4 feet water at low water. This ledge must be left on your larboard hand
keejiing *C(ildurll's isfa/id close on board. Gai/'a cove lies on your larboard
hand about 3 miles to the E.N.K. of FraiiUin's is'nitd. Vou may know this
cove, as Gui/'s house and barn lie to the N.W. of it. But if you are bound
throuji;h Herring gut, brin^fCapt. Ilenderson's house to bear N.N.W. and
steer S.S. li. for Ilerriitg gut. This Herring gut has a bar from side to side,
but you may go over it at two hours Hood, keeping your larboard hand best on
board. As you come on the bar you wili see a laij;e rock on your starboard
hand, and the deepest water is within a cable's length of the rock ; your
course over the bar is S.S.E. You may anchor to the N.W. of the bar, in
4- or 5 fathoms, muddy bottom, and wait for the tide. The tide of flood sets
to the. northward and the ebb to the southward.
When you go out of this harbour, and bound to the eastward, be careful
and give the larboard hand a good birth, for there arc two lc<lges of rocks ok
the same hand of the eastern point, which areund«-r water, and lie otfabouta
cable's length. When you are clear of these ledges, you may steer E. by S.
or E.S.K. one mile to a barren island, which you leave on tiie larboard and
3 or 4 islands or letlgcs on the starboard hand. When you pass these ledgcn
and Musqiiito islands, if bound to ll'/iite luad, you may steer N. E. by E. 2
leagues, and when you bring said head to bear N.E. run for if, but when you
pass the S.W. White head, leave it on your larboard hand, and be careful of
a sunken rock that lies S.E. from the eastern White head, about one cable's
Icui'th distant. \ dur course through to the eastwanl is N.E. and fo the west-
ward S.W. keeping near the middle of the passage. Before you come up with
Aah point, you must be careful of a sunken rock, w liifh lies otf the point about
one third of the psssage, which has not mute ilian G feet of water at low wa-
ter. But if you should f?o lhroui;h this passage in the night, keep Polatje
island (which is right against //;// island, about S.S.W. from it, and bare of
trees, which you leave on your starboard hand) best on board. VX'lien you
pass Putatoe island, and ate bound into Oul's head, your course is N.N.E.
about 2 miles, wliich will leave two islands on the starboard hand. When
you open the passage to Oxi:l's head, and bound to Edi.ymavoggan reach, yonv
course is N.E. by N. till you pass the Lime iJiinds, which you leave on your
larboard hand. Continue said course till you make a large bare rock on your
starboard hand, aiivl a little round island to the eastward, on the same hand,
which is covered with ti-es. Continue your course to the N.E. and you
will make a large island on your starboard hand. When you pass tliis island,
you have the passase opened to Buck's harbour ; continue your course N.E.
till you pass by all the islands, to the soutluvard ami northward. In the day
time you may see Blue hill bearing E.N.E. over all the land. This passage
is safe to go thronah with a first rate man of w:;r.
When you come wiiliin '2 miles of the Ucach, you will make a small inland
on your starboard hand, which has a sunken rock to the northward of it.
Your safest way is to keep the middle of the passage, as t'.ierc is a sunken loek or

If you want logo up to Wistassct poiiif, you must keep yourstarboiirti hhnd

your starboard hand. You will not attempt to go up to fl'isiassct point with
ahead wind and tide of ebb, for it is 3 leagues from C'ro.ss river ; but when
you have a fair wind and tide, >ou may proceed without I'ear. This river is
narrow and lies more to the westward ; when you arc about a mile or a mile
and nn half up, you must keepyour larboard hahd best on board, lur there is si
ledge of rocks which reachesnearhalf way across the river, which is on your
starboard hand, and the rock near the middle is covered at high water, but
^ may be seen two hours before. The river runs strait to Decker's varroxif;,
then turns round to the westward : when you enter these narrows you may sit;

large rocks that lie W.S.W. of these narrows J the tiile of flood sets very strong
for them, and they arc never covered ; you may go on either side of tln.-in,

THIS river bears N.E. S league^ distant from Cape Elizabeth, and about
one league from Snuill point. If you ;-luiuld fall into this Lay with the wind
at S.E. or S.S.K. and bound to the eastward, you may make a good iiarbour
in the above river. In standing to the northward you will have a large round
island on your starboard hand, covered with spruce trees, together with two
large rocks, one called the Uruun Cou; and the other the H /lilc Bull, which
arc some distance from each other, ^'ou must leave the Broun Cow on your
starboard, and the li'/iitf Bull oi\ your larboaiJ hand, the latter of which you

over for //w.sf island, that lies on the starboiird, which has a luiuseon it, that
you m^y g(» within a f|uarter of a mile of. To tlie westward ol'the island lies
a large rock, which is covere<l at high water, but bare at half tide ; you may
go on either side of it when it is in sight, but the widest passage i» to tiie
eastward. When you have |)assed this rock, steer N. by W. or N.N.W. which
course will carry you up witii a large i;^ land, called Bear island, which is cov-
ered with spruce and birch trees. When you have passed this island about
one quarter of a mile, you may haul in for the starboard thorc, and anchor in
5 or 6" fathoms water. This is the best place to anchor, wit!i the wind at S.S.I'..
or East, but be careful of a ledge of rocks, tliat runs to the northward of tliis
island, about half a nnleoff. You may anchor in this bay according as the
wind may be; if it should beat the westward, you may anchor on the west
side of the bay ; and if to the eastward, anchor (m the east side. If you have
lost your cables and anchors, tiicre is a large cove on the starboard Ir.tnd,
about 2 miles from Bear island, bearing about N. which is sufficient to hold

cables and anchors rre not good, you may run into the Pool, and lie safe
Irom all winds.
Saco lies about a league to the northwest, but is a barred place, and has
not above 10 feet, at high water, which makes it not fit for a sfrancer to
go in ; there is, however, considerable navigation owned here, and the inhab-

net sl.ew themselves ulienllie wind is off the land ; likiwij-ein standii.c to lh«
ca'-t, you must be careful of the If'/ink's back, which lies S.S.W. of U'otxi inl-
aii'i, and is covered at iialf tide. If you arc bound to the eastward from this
port, you stei-r S. by V.. one league Jron-'. the iJj>ht-house, then steer N.N. I'..
Utr 0/(1 l'i»/( or Capr AVv/e/oc/, which is 4 leagues from Portxmovth ; but if
the wind should come from the northward you must Lc careful o{York ledge,
which bears I'vom Sxictl'x point S.K. distant 2 learjues. 'J here is u sunken
ledge that lies S.W. one mile from Ycrk /nlgr-n i;, never bate, but always
breaks at low water, and is called the Tririiig/e. Suxnv part of York ledge is
bare at half tide.
The next you come to is Boon inland (on which is a high beacon, in th«
form of u light-house, which lies S.F„ from Cape Xeddiick, or the JS noble, so
called.) When you pass Hooii island, bound to the eastward, and take the
wind at N.N.K. you must take care of a ledge of rocks duo N. from Boon
island, one mile distant.
[N. K. 1 have passed this place several times, but never discovered the
ledge till the year 1783, when being bound to the eastward, the wind took
me from the westward, but the vessel having no more than steerage way, I
hove over a line to catch a (ish, and found I had 2+ fathoms water, sandy
bottom, and in a few minutes I had but 10 feet of water, and my vessel
«lrawing nine : all that saved me from striking was, tint the water bein"
entirely smooth, the current set me to the eastward, and I got in}o C4
f:ithoms within the length of the vessel from where I sounded, and had but
10 feet.]
'I'he worst ledge that I know on our eastern shore, is Boon island ledge^
which bears east from Boon island, distant 1 league ; and from Agementicus
hill, it bears S.E. 5 or 6" leagues. It is not sr.fe for strangers to go very near
this ledge, for several of the rocks aie to be seen, long before low water.
When you come in from sea, and make Agimenticvs hill, bearing N;W.
by N. you are then to the westward of Boon inland ledge ; but when the said
hill bears N.W. by W. you may be sure you arc to the eastward of it.

Description of the Isles of Shoals.
BY the benevolence of the Massachusetts Missionaij/ Soeiefy, aided by sub-
scriptions of several gentlemen in Newbufvport, and the neiphbourinj; towns,
a Meeting-house has been erected on Star island (one of the above islands)
which, from its situation, cannot tail ot being ad\antageous, as u (and- mark,
to mariners.
The following is the description and relative situation of the islands:
While island (the si.uth-uesternmost islimd) is a rocky is.lar.d, three tjiiar-
lers of a mile in length, from S.K. to N.W. and about one mile and three
quarters distant ficm the Mccting-lioiise. 'i'here is a reef that extends about

Ion: you must bring the lights to bear W. by S. and anchor in 11 or 12 fa-

llic North breaker, in coming from the eastward, tha:i 9 fathoms. 'I'hcre are
several pilolb belonging to this harbour, who will, if possible, be outside of
the bar, to take command of every vessel wanting their assistance. If they
cannot, you must keep the lights in range, and run for them till within a cii-

tands to Black ruck creek, lie 7 or 8 piers, on which are from 7 to 'J.i feet wa-
ter, at low water, which were sunk in the year I77ti, and have not .since beerj
removed; the mark to pass between then» is to bring the beuciin, at the west
end of the town of Ncii:buri//jort (whitli may be distinctly seen i.i clem- wea-
ther) over the south corner of tiie north inceting-htjuse. The Hynip wiuh lie
S.W. from SalUburi) pmnt, which makes tiic chiinnel very narrow, and tlilii-
cult for stranger;;. Wlieii you pass llie Wack rucks, you "imist haul up W. by
S. I 8. which will brin^ you in channel way, and good anchorage. And if
it be in the nij^ht, or dark weather, when you jud ,c vour>elf about
half a mile from J3/atA rocks, you may come too with sai»;t>". J would re-
commend to all masters, whether they belong to Xiubiiri/port or not, to a-
void coming into tWn port in a gale of easterly wind, except they are well at-
(juainted, and have a good jjrospect of tsetim:; in, as every peison who be-
longs there must know tlitU no pilot can get over the bar when it blows a nula
from the eastward. And if you should make Cape Ann lights, and bring liieni
to bear 8, by E. or the Dry Salvages to bear S. by K. you may run with safe*
ty N. by W. or N. § \V. diitant 10 leagues from Cnpc Ann to Portmoitth.
In running the above course, you will make the Ms if Hhuals, if it is any-
way clear, from which you take a new departure ; when you pass the .-aid
inlands, you bring Star island (on which the meeting hou.se stands, and which
is the S,\V. island) to bear S.S.F-. and then steer N.N.W. distant from s.iic!
island 3 leagues to Portsmouth. Tiiere is a very good harbour in the J,v/u of
Shoals, from the wind from northeasterly round to southerly, and you mtw lie
landlocked with anyofthcm; but if the windhaulsto thcS.W. or W.N. W. you
may run otit between Smutti^ nose island, which l;as a wind-mjil on ir', and
Hog island, where there is water enough for a first rate man of war; and
where you anchor, you have 12 fathoms muddy hottom.
In going into Portsmouth, you may bring the light-hou<;c to bear N.N.W.
till you get within Wood island : then you may hsrjl away N. or N. by E. till
you pass the lii',ht-hotJse ; you mity "then i:.iu! up W.N.W. of N.'w. by W.
and bring the light-iiou.e point to shut in with Wood island, where you will
be safe from all winds, and n>ay am.iior in 8 or 9 fath<)nis water.
When you come from the eastward, with th.,- wind at E. or K.S.E. with
which wind you cannot weather away Cape Ann, and yoU are to ti;c northward
of the Isles of Shoals, your only sliitt is to Portsmouth, and you arc obli-od to
run so far to the westward as to bring said port to bear N.N.W. and itt^iienc-
val the wind at E. at sea hauls two or three points to the northward which
makes it a head wind. [See the Plate] '

loses an anchor, with the wind at N.I', or K.N.Ii. if she ci»n carry double
reefed 8HiI«, she may run S.S.Ii. 5 lea<>ues, which course, if made good, will
carry her a Utile to the eajstward of Sijiiam bar ; and if tlie weather is so clear
Rs to see half a inJIc when you make tlie land to the eastward lA' Sjtiain, you
may run witliiii a cable's len^th of the shore ; your course is S.S.W.
SijiifiiH if»r bears from Ha't<r^bout point (the N.K. pointofCn/ie Ai.n) from
!W.S.\V. to S.AV. ilistiint about 2 leagues. In running; from HaHouboaf point,
you must be careful I'lf Plumh cure Ivilgf, which shews itself till near hijili wa-
ter, and bears from *Sqvam I'gbt N.N.K. a little northerly, di>-tance fiv«
eighths of H rmle. When you have passed this ledge, you leave a deep cove,
called Hodi^kins' cove, aud a long point or neck of land, called Darin' iicd; on
your larboard baud. When up with thisneck haul S.W.orS.W. by W. for
Sqiiam bar.
In sailiii^ into this harbour bring the light to bear due S. vvhon at the dis-
tance of one mile, and run directly for it, leaving Ilaradan's rock (which lie*
N. by E. I E. from the light distant gths of a mile) on your larboard hand;
continue your course till within 50 yards of the light-house ; then haul up
S.S.W. for ilie P>ar rock, leaving the light-house on your larboard, and the
bar (whi'Ji iiins nearly N.K. and S.W. leaving the nver about .90 fathoms
broad, opposite the light-house) on your starboard hand. In running this
coui-sc you will leave the Lohdcr rocks (which lie S. by W. from tlie iighf-
house, tlistant 200 yards, and arc dry at low water) on your larboard hand.
When up with the Bar rocks (which lie on the starboard hand, and are dry
till nearly high water) steer S. by V.. % K. till you open the houses, and you
may anchor in from 3.|i to 5 fathoms clear saiidy bottt>m ; or run y.nir vessel
on shf;rc on the starboard hand, in case you have neither cables nor anchors.
When a stranger is oblrgfd to run for Squatn harhourraiid is doubtful whe-
ther to enter on account of the depth of water, he had better anchor back of
the b.ir, and he will immediately have assistance from the light-house,, if it is
possible for a boat to iiVe ; if the weather is soboisterous that n boat caTinot
come off, njiag v.iil be hoisted on shore near the light house, as stion as there
is watei- enough f.^r a vessei onthe bar, when he may run in as above dirsctcd.
If you arc bound to Ipss-icb, your course from Hallowboat pitiiit to the
mouth of the channel that h-ads into the harbour, is W. h N. distant about 8
miles. There are nvo beacons erected a sma'l distance to the southward of

carry you withm the Londoner, and vhcn you pa^slhe said rocks, bring the
two lights in one, at wiiicli time they will bear N. by Iv J E. and S. by W. ij'
W. and then steer Sj.S.W. J W. keeping «aid course aliout ofle mile, whiih will
carry you ck'Uf of MUk ufaud, which is very low and cannot Le seen in a dark
iiii^ht. When you judge youi>elf to tlw westward of said i^land, you haul to
tiie westward until you brinj? the lights to bear li.N.I".. when you must steer
W.S.W. about 5 miles, which course will carry you to En^Urii point. W hen
you piu!) said point, keep your course W.N.W. until you ! ring Cuj^Ahii bar-
h)ur to bear N. when your course is N.E.
If you want to go inside the Salvages, keep dose aboard IJnffovboat point,
which has a tree on the eastern part of it, and steer S.S.K. for Strain' s-moutk
islfiiid, but be careful to avoid Axcry's rod, by keeping fiie lights on the dry-
point of 5//a/J''.«-moH^4 iibinil, till you get up close abourd, tliin haul rounJ
the point, and S.S.K. will carry you to the li5;l;ts. 'lo nvoiti the Londoner,
you must keep the li;:hts close aboard the boily of the island, on which they
stand ; the Londomr lies half a mile »)«", breaks at all times of tide, is quite
dry at low water, and bears E.S.E. frcm the middle of Thatcher's inland. A
long shoal runs ofi' N.H. half a mile di-tant from the Londoner. Between the
Londoner and 'J hafi/ler'.s i'^hnd thvYe. are 3A fathoms, at low water. From
the Sakxiges to Halhrvhoat point, and bandy bay, there lies a large spot of flat
ground, which at low water will take up a small vessel. Outside the 5a/ra-
ges is very bold. Halluuboat point bears from the Salvages W.N.W. 2^ miles
distant, and the Sak ages bear from the lights N. N.E. 3 miles tiii^ant. I f the
wind be to the eastward, ycu may anchor in a bay that tnakes between Ten
yomd island und Eastern point, the latter bearing ^5. by E. and I en pound
island bearing N. Here you may anchor in 4 fathoms water, on muddy bot-
tom. This is a good harbour against easterly winds, but it the wind be S. W,
vou are exposed to il, in which case you may clear away Tea pound island,
leaving said i-land on your starboard hand, and steer into the faarbour, ai
above directed, and come too near Five pound Island.
Note. In sailing from Cape Ann lights to Cape Ann harbour, you will first
open Braces cove, before you come up with the hat hour, which will, when
open, bear N.N.W. which you are to avoid. Cape Am harbour lies one mil*
further to the westward, and when open beara N.N.E.

you must observe that there is a ledge runs ofl from the N.K. end of (//) Win-
ter island and that Abbot's rock lies abreast oi it ; to avoid which you must
keep above a quarter of a mile from the shore. Jbbofi rock is found by
bringing Ctistle /ijV/and house into the cove N. of Fort Vichering, and Btverlif
meeting house well in with Juniper point (or S.K. point of Salem neck.) Ab-

In iiceping offshore, to avoid Abbot's rock, you must not go too far off, for
fear of the Aqua: I'ita; which are sunken rocks, lying E.S.L. from Fort Pick-

Directioni for sailing into Boston i^IarbouT.
If bound to Boston from the southward, cross 0'cor^f'.v bank in latitud*
42° 10' N. in which the siionlest water you have will bo 36" fathoms, from
which you steer W. by N. 1 N. 4.> leagues, and if clear wenthcr you will sec
Ca/»e y//i« on your starboard hand and *Ca]ie Cod an jc\h larboard hand.
Take care not to go to the iiortlrviu -.1 of i2° 40', for fear of Casfie's Inlfir,
which lies K. h N. 23 leaguns from Cape Ann. From C'rt/ic Ann to Boston
•flijiht-house the course is S.W. distiiiice 8^ lea-u;s. After makini» thtlif^ht,
with the wind fair, you will bring it to bear W. by N. or W.NAV. and then
run for it, till you come within two cable's lenj^th of it. If the weather is bad,
and you cannot get a pilot from the liuht-house, alter running abreast of it,
so us to bring it to bear N. by V.. you may run W. by .S. about Ij mile to
Xaulaxket road, where you may anchor in from 7 to 5 fathoms in safety.
To work into lioifuii biii/ you may stand tollie southward till you bring the
linht to bear W.N.W. and to the northward till you bring it to bear W.S.W.
till you come within one league of the light ; then you must not stand to llu*
northward any further than to bring it to bear W. by N. and to the southward
to bring it to bear W.N.W. You may anchor in the bay with safety if the
wind is ctt' the shore. If you fall to the southward of Hast on harbour, be care-
ful to avoid Cohassd rocks, which lie above water i-ome distance from the land,
the outer part of which, called Minot'srock, has a black buoy on it, that lies
in 5 fathoms water, which you leave on your larboard hand. Your course
from this buoy to the light-house is N.W. J N. distant 3 leagues. In running
the abqvc course and distance, you will pass a white buoy which lies in 4 fath-
oms water, that is on the N.E. part of Hardens rocks, and bears S.E. J S.
from ilio light-house, distant ij league, which rocks may be seen 2 hours be-
fore low water, tl\at you also leave on your larbour.l hand. There is another
buoy on yciur larboard hand, which is red, that lies in 3 fathoms wafer on
Voint Aidtiton. When in tiie middle of the light-house channel steer W. by
N. 1 mile distant, to the beacon on the spit, wiiich you may run within \
of a cable's leiight of, leaving it on your starboard haiu!, opposite to which
lies a black buoy in 2 fathoms water, on George's island rocks. Between the

This IccijiC ot rocks lies li mile (loni Hie shore, extending about N.N.E. for
IH'ur a mile, and close to "this ledge you will have 4 and 5 fathoms, which
deepens graduiilly as you run from it to the eastward ; within I mile you will
huTc 10 and 12 tiithonis.
In coming froiij the southward, bound into Pliimoiith, you must not open the
northern Jis»lit to the westward, but keep them in «>ne, which will carry you in
5 fathoms liy the easternmost part of Rromi's islands or shoat, keeping that
couDP until yoa are within halt a mile oi Gurnet Avail, or nigher, where you
will have but 4 lathums ; tlien Snguash head will bear VV. by N. a little north-
erly, and the two outermost trees on the head in one ; then you may steer di-
rectly lor them, untilyou bring thelight-house to bear li. N. tl. and the house
on i>a<juash to benr N. \V. just open with the first Sandy htach, where you may
anchor in 4 fathoms in Saquash nxid, <»ood clear bottom ; but if you are bound
for Plymouth, or the Cuvyardi, ^o\x nmst steer as before directed. If in the
higlit, it is best to ahchor here, as it js difKcult to make Be^ch joint, if dark,
or to go into the Cuuyard.
^n turning into Tlymouth, you must not stand to the northward into less
than 3 fathoms, hs it runs a flafalongway from xh^Gurnet head to Saquash :
iand from both the heads lies off a point of rocks a good way from the shore,
lAany of them but just under water at low ebbs. And all the way from Sa-
quash to the Mmdtbcnii, you have shoal water; so that you must not stand
in less' than before mentiotied. And in standing over for the sands to the
isouthward, you must %o about as'soon as jou have shoalen your water to 4
fathohis, as it is bdld too, and you may'observe the rips, unless it is very
Sr.iooth. i his sand exteiids from abreast of the lights to Beach point, most of
which 'is dry at low ebjiw. From tl e easternmost part of this sand to Dick's

the eastehiiYioiit part of Brown's island to the Gurnet head, and not more than
!r or 8 until you are abreast ot Dick' a flat, where you will have 13 or 14 fath-
oms in a deep hole', and thfen shoklen to 5 fathoms abreast of Beach point.
If you should fall into the south want of Brown's islands or shoal, between
them arid the Monument latid, where vnu have CO fathoms in some places, you
must not attempt to run for the lights, until you have them shut in one viit]\
the other, when they will bear N.N.W. J W. ; jf yoi) do, you may depend on
being tm Brown's islands or shoal, as there is no passage for even a boat atlovr

In coming in from the northward in the night, yoti must not bring the lights
to bear moie southerly than S. by W. to avoid High Pine ledge, and keep that
course until you have them to bear N.W. or N.W, by W. when you will be

Directions for *Cape Cod Harbour.
IN passing Race jmitif to the southward, you must give it a birth of one
mile, us there is ii loin; Hat of saiul that lies to the southward of said point.
You must not haul to tlie eastward till you come near Herring cove.
W'ssels iiiwani bound, who iall in with the back ot Cnpe Cod, may bring the
flight to bear S. \V. 2 leagues disiant,and then Mcer W.N.W. for Boston light-
house.
II you wish to go into Cape Cod Harbour, you may keep the shore aboard a-
bout a mile distant, where you will have 10 fathoms water. There is a bar
lies oft' tin; back of the cape, about half a mile from the shore, called Picked-
kill bar.
When up wjth Race point, you will (n\A it very bold about 3 leagues to tho
westward of the light-house, and it may be known by a numberof fish houses
(.n it. I'nmt 1 to 3 miles to the southwarc' oiRaee point is what is called
Herring cove, where you may have good anchorage half a mile from the shore,
the wind from E. to N.N.E. in 4 or even in 3 fathoms water.
If bound into Cape Cod harbour, yotir course from Race point to Woodend,
is S.S.E. 0" miles distance. Bring the light to bear E. by N. and run for it a-
bout 2 miles ; you will then be c'earof V/oodend — then you mtist steer N.E.
until the light bears E. by S. then run N.W. for thcharbcur, until you have
from 4 to 3^ fathoms water, where you will have good anchoring; the light
v»ill then Ix'ar E. by S, ^ S. 5 or 6 miles distance.
In running from Race point to Jf^ood end, after you pass the Black land or
Hiimmuck.s, you will come up with a low sandy beach which forms the har-
bour, extending between 2 and 3 miles to Wood end, which is diflicult to bo
distinguished in tlie night : it is very bold, and you will have 25 fathoms wa-
ter within half a mile of the shore.
In beating into Cape Cod harbqur you must keep the eastern shore aboard
until you get into 5 (athoms water. Stand no further to the westward than
to bring the light to bear E. by S. as there is a long spitof sand runs offfroni
the western shore, which being very bold, you >•' have 1 1 fathoms water
witliin a stone's throw of the shore.
If it blows so hard that you cannot beat into the harbour, you will hive
good anchoring without, from 10 to 15 fatbo ns water. Or if itblows hard at
N. E. bring Racepoint lo bear N.W. by N. tnd steer S. E. by 5. 7 leagues,
which course will carry you into Wellf''<'r, formerly cal: il IVillmgule. in
steering this course you will make //arsii'. .i^hta-head. When .ou open tho

With the'ftce to t!he eksl, on the left haud of the ridio is llie s'andjr s)iore ; on the right is a nar-
row sandy vallo,y ; beyond which is nitkcd sitnd, rcachini; to the hills and woodi> of Provincetowu.
This ridge is well covcrei with beach grass, and appears to owe its existence to that vegetable.
Beach grass, during the spring and suininer, grows about two ^eet and an half. If surrounded
by naked beach, the storms of autumn and winter heap up the sand on all sides, and cause it to
ri"^ nearly to the top of the plant, lit the ensuing spring, the grass sprouts anew ; is again cover-
ed with sand in the winter, aii(^ thiu a hill or ridge continues to ascend, as long as there is a suf-
ficient base to support it, or till the circuinscriMng sand, being also covered with beach gnss,
win no longer yifeld td the force of the winds.
Oil thr« ridg*, half «»4y between ftit» tniht jmd the l^ead of Stout's Creelt, theTrastees of
the Uiininne Society hHve erecteti A hut. It staiids a mile from Pe«ked Hill, a land-murk well
tnown to SMiurn, and is abdul two miles and a half from Race Point. Seamen cast awAy ou
this part of the coast, will find a shelter here; and in north e{Kt storms, should ibi^y strike to the
IcCMmrd of it, and be unable to (urn their faces to the windtyard, by passing ou tg Race Point,
tbey will sonti (6me to the fishing huts l^^loi'Q inen'tioiied. _
At tlie head of Stout's Creek tW Trustees have biiitt a second hut. Stom's Cr?(;k is a sinalj
bfa>»cli of Kait Uarbuur in Truro. Alauy years ago there was a body of Salt marsh on it; and
it tlieii deserved the name of a creek. Uut the marsh was long since destn>yed ; and the creeb
naw 'icarcely exists, appearing o'ly like a small depression in llic sand, andboing entirely dry
;'.t hrft'lide. The creek runs froft, north-Wcst to south-east, and is nearly pariiliel with the shore
on the ofcsn, ih)m which it is nt no great distance. Not far from it the hills of Provincetowu
terminate ; and should not (be hut be found, by walking round the head of the creek, witli (lis
f'acc to the west, the hills on the rbht hand, and keeping close to (he shore on the harbour, iu
iess than an hour the shipHrerkenseflitTien would coiJ)e to Provincetowu.
The Humane Society, several years ago, ereyed a hut at tlie head of Stout's creek. But it
whs built in an improper m)u>iier, having a chimney in it; and was placed on a spot where iin
iieath grass gt«w. The strong winds blew the sand I'rom its foundation, and the wciaht oftlie
chimney brought it to the ground so tluit in January, IBO*, it was entirely dcmohiliid. TliU
ivi'iit lorik plarc about six weeks before the Brutus « ; cf.'.t away, {/it Im.J remained it ispto-.
li,il>le that the wholi! oflhe unfoHunate crew of that '■hip would Ijave been saved, as they gained
till' shiirc a few rods only from the s|»ot where the hut liad stocd.
I'lK- hut now erected stands on a pla<ie covered wiih Neach a;mss. T" prevent any accident

left hand, or south, is a tew rods only from the ocean.
The shore, which extends from this valley to Ilacc Point, is un>|ucstiunsbly th? part of the
coast the must expnsed to shipwrecks. A N.E. ttorin, the most viok'nt, and fatal to searu: u, as
it is frequently accom|ia\iied with snow, blows directly on the land ; a strong current srti iiioii;;
the shore ; add to which, that ships, durini^ the operation ot such a sliu-.u, endeavour tn v,-(iik

Foiirt, the wind drives them on the shore, and a ship.viei-V is inevitable. AcGordinjjK, th? ttniinl
is every where covered with the frai»Miuiits of vess'ls. H.its, therefore, pliired within a mile cf
each other, have been thought necesHary by many judx'iowi pcrsniM. To this opinion the 'i'nis-
tees are disposed to pay due respeet ; and herealter, ii the funds of the Society increase, new

From the valley above mentioned the land rises, and less than a mile from it the hiuh h:nd
eommences. O:. (he first elevated spot, (the Clay Pounds) stands the Lialil-liouse. 'I'lio sl.ur*

especially in a storm. In violent tempests, during very hi^h tidi'a, the 5?a breaks ntainsi ths
foot of ihcm, rendering it then unsafe to walk on the strand, which lies between thcui and the'
orenn. Should the seaman succeed in his attempt to ascend Ihem, he iniisi forbear to pcnririite
iiilo iha country, as houses are generally so remufc, that they would escape his rescar;.!; during
the night; he must p««(s on to the' vallies, by which the banks are inlersecled. These valiies,
wiiiclithe inhabitants call Hollows, run at right angles wiUi the shore; and in the middle, or
lowest iKHt of them, a road leads from the dwelliiij-hou^es to the sea.
The first of these vallies is Dyer's Iloiluw, Ii mile south ot the light-house. It is a wide op»
Cling, being 200 rods broad, from summit to suuunit. In it stands a divelliiig-house, a quarter
of a mile from the beach.
A mile and a hall south of Dyer's Hollow, is a second valley, called ffarding's Hollow. At
the entrance of this valley, the sand has gathered ; si> that at present u little climbing i<> nece>i-
tary. Passing over several fences, and taking heed not to enter the wood on the right tianu. . .
the distance of three quarters of a mile, a housf is to be found. This house stands on 'iiV
stxith side of die mad; and not far from it, on the south, is Pe.met river, which runs fruiii ea.ii-
tu west tliro«tgh a body of salt marsh.
The third' valley, half a mile south ef Harding's Hollow, is head of Pamet Iliillow. Ii
m)iy with ease l>e distinguished from the other hollows mentioned, as it is a wills o|<;.Tiiiig, niit!'
leads immediately over a beach to the salt marsh at the head of Pamct river, l.i ihu niid^t of
t)ie hollow the sand has been raised by a brush fence, carried across it from north to sniitl..
This miisl be passed, and the shipwrecked mariner will soon come to a tnee which s( |i:ir:itcs'
what is called the road from the marsh. If he turns lo the left hand, or soulli.at thcdisiiiuce if
a quarter of a mile, he will discover a house. If he turns to (he riuht hand, iil the ui«(ancc of
fMlf a mile, he will' fihd the same house, which is lueiiiinued in the l''Mei;»iii<.' p:ir'sFri>i>ii.

Those three liollows, lying near together, sci .e to designate oach other. Eitiier of them may
lie U'icd ; but Ileail of Pamet Hollow is the safest.

Not Ur from this shore, south, the Trustees have erected a third hut/ on Nausct beach. Nao<
sut bcHcli begins in Imitude 41° 51', and extends south to latitude 41° 4I'. It is divided into
t>vo pirts by a hreacli which ihe ounan has made thruui;Ii it. This breach is the mouth of Nan-
!>tit or Stage harl>our ; and from the opening the beach cftteiids north t\ mile«, till it oins the
liiuin luiid. It is about a furlong wide, and formn Naoscl harbour, which is of littk value, its
t'iitrauci.' being obstructed by a bar. I'liis northern part of the beach may hv jisthigiished frciii
the s.iuthi'rn part by its being of a le>s regular form : .Stormihave made f'-.-^uent irruptions thro'
the ridije, on which bi'ach grass grows. On an elevated part of the beach, stands the hut, about
1 1 mile N. of the mouth of Nauset harbour. Easlham meeting-house lies from it W.S W. dis-
tant 1^ mile. The lueeting-liuuse is without a st-.-uple ; but it may be disliirguished from the
<l A'ultiiig-houscs near it by its situation, which is hetween two small groves of locusts, one on the
south undone on the north, that on the south being three times as longns the other. About 1^

IN approaching the south end of B/ocA island from the southwaid,
the water shoals gradually. When the island bears from N. W. to N. by VV.
the bottom is mud ; this is commonly called liluck inland citannd. Tliis isl-
and, if you come from the southward, appears round and high; and if you
approach it from the S.E. it appears like a saddle, being high at both ends,
but highest to the southward. Vour course from Block island to *Gay head,
is E.N.IL. and the distance 14 letigucs.
If you fall to the southward of Murflia's I'iiiriiard, and can sec ■fNn!na?t's-
hwd island, and intend going over the sho;il to the eastward, bring Xoman's
land island W bear west, and steer cast, (making the course good,) which will

Description of George's Bank and Nantucket Shoals.
THE shoals of George's hanlc lie in laf. 41' 35' N. sjnd are very diinger-
ous ; in some places having only 2 or .3 feet water on them, surrounded 2 or'
3 leagues by rips and breakers, with a very dangerous, irregular, and ra))id
tide, which sets southward most part of the time.
On that part of Ceorge's bank where the shoals lie, you will have a strong
tide, but not regular. The most powerful and rapid pans of it run southward ;
first to the S.S.E. and continuing its force until it comes up S.W. when it
slacks and alters its course, making some short returns to the N.N.E. — N.E.
and E. sometimes for the s|iacc of 12 and 15 hours.
In coming from the southward for George's bank, you will get soundings in
lat. 40"» 17', if on the S.S.W. part of the bank. Should you get soundings iii
the latitude of 40* 30', you may be certain you are to the eastward of the
slioal, when jou must direct your course accordingly to clear it, when your
first soundings will be in from 75 to 60 fathoms. When steering to the north-
ward, you will shoalen your water gradually to 24 fathoms, when you will b«
in lat.41'' 20', which depth ofwateryou will have lOor 12 leagues distant,
either east or west. From 40 to 21 fathoms soundings you will have fine whit*
sand, mi.xed with black specks ; but the nearer the shoal the coarser the sand.
When you get into 15 fathoms you will have very irregular soundings, some-
times deepening and at other siioaling 2 or 3 fathoms. If you are coming
into the east channel, and get soundings in lat. 42* 12', you will then be on
the N.E. part of the bank, as there are no soundings on George's bank to tlio
northward of the above latitude. When the shoal of George's bears S.\V. by
W. 8 leagues distant, you will have from 20 to 22 fHthoms, round stones as
big as eggs, and large muscles ; 4 leagues to the eastward of this you wiii Uvac.
30 fathoms, white mo.ss ; and 3 leagues further east you will have black moss;
and from that to thu N.E. part of .ihu bank, rocky bottom, and plenty of
halibut. Y

Tf you strike sounilines in latitude 4Co 30', it must be on the S.W. part of
Sron/i's bank, where you will have from 30 to 45 fallioms, siindy bottom.
On your first entnincc on Georgi's Imnli from Block island c/wtiiiel, ynu will
have oiizv bottom, till you are a.s far to the eastward as tiie bank extends.
Soundings from tiie westward of Gforgt"'* ^fl«A- continues its course W. by S.
utitil yon are nearly abreast of Lw/g /*/«««/, then southwartl toCtijic llatleiax.
liitrht or ten leagues S.l". from the south part of George's bunk lies tiin
Cii/p/i Htrcmn, where there is a strong K.N.E. current, and if you arc bound
to the westward, you had better go very near the bank, and oflei: on soinidings,
till you are abreast of the south shoal of Nantucket, where you have 30 leagues
from bank to current, and by doing which you will probably shorten your
passaa;e.
'I'lie soutii shoal of Nantucket is almost dry ; the tide rinis swift, but rejiu-
Inr, to the N.E. and S.W. Nearly to the soutliward of this shoal, in '^5 or 30
fathoms, you will have tine black ancf while sand : to the eastward, in the same
Kouiuiings, you will have course saml. When y<ui are ne;; i the shoal, you will
ba\ (! very light coloured water, t(jgeiher with w liite and l>hi( k sand and jiieces
of green shells. Nine or ten leagues to the westward of the above shoal, in
i!0 or 40 fathoms, you will have black inudof a shining smooth nature, when
you will he in Tucherniirk channel.
To the westward of the south shoal of Nantucket, you l.avc no shoals, ripi*,
nor tide to hurt you, until youcemic near the land ; but clear sea, go(td navi-
gation, and regular soundings. To the eastward and northward of the soutli
shoal you will have a rapid tide.
Around the coast of Nanlinhrf and the slioals you will have sandy bottom,
and in moderate weather had better anchor than be driven about by the tide,
which is very rapid. The courses of the tides at and over Nantucket shoals
is nearly N.E. and S.W. and regular. The N.K. tide makes flood. S.S.F..
moon makes high water. South moon makes lull sea at Nantucket harbour.
S 8.E. and W .N.W. moon makes high water on the shoals ; the tideof (lood
sets N.E. by E and ebb S.W. by W. from 2 to 3 knotsuu hour. It ebbsaud

FROM theS.K. part of B/()r/i-/A7(7/H/ to Rhoih-hlaml light-house the
course is N. by il,% K. and the distance H leagues ; about midway between
them, there are '2't fathoms water. If you are on the west side of liluik hi-
««f/, with the body of the ibhind bearing I'.N.E. in 8 or 10 fathoms water,
your course to Point Jmlitli is N.K. by E. about 6" leagues. This point ap-
pears like a nag's head, and is pretty bold ; between HIiKh inland and th«
point, there are from 30 to (i tut horns water. From Point Judith (when not
more than a (punter of a mile fr<Hii the point) to PJiudc- hluml haihour, your
course is N.E. and tiie distance is about 5 U-agues. \\hen in 13 fathoms
water. Point Judith b«'aring W , or \V. by N. the course to Rhode-Island liar-'
hour is N.E. by N. ^ N. and the distance to the light-house 3 leagues. The
light-house, together with the Dmiplins, must be left on your larboard hand ;
it stands on the south part of ■\Conanniciit island ; thh point is called the
Beaver's tail, and is about 3 leagues distant fronr Point Judith. After leav-
ing the light- house on your larboard side, there is a sunken rock due south
from the light-house, about 200 yards distant, called Neufon roeli. ^ou
must take tare to avoid the rocks which lie off south from Cust/e hill, some
of which are above water. Castle hill is on the east side of lihode-Island har-
bour. If you steer N.E. from the light-house, 3 miles distance, you will
have good anchoring without Goat inland, (.ili'lhe N.E. point of wliii'h is a
buoy in 16' leet water) ; the shore is hanl and roeky. A little wiiiiin tli«
light-house, and near to the shore on the west-side there is a rue, callcvl
Muckcral cove, the entrance to which is shoal and dangerous. About .5 mile*

l^.K. if you are beating to . .uward, but it the wind is fair, bring the light
to bear N. when at the {li-.tance of 2 leagues, and run directly for it ; leave
it on your larboard hand in running in ; when in, you may have good an-
choring in 4 or j laiiioms water, clayey bottom. In coming out of New-
London, when you havo loft the harbour, bring the light to bear N.N.E. and
tteer directly S.S.W. till you come into 15 fathoms water, in order to clear
a reef that lies on your starboard hand, when the N. part of I'isker's island
will bfur K. distant '2 leagues.
If bound up soi id, steer W. by S. 33 leagues, which will carry you up
with I'.utuns n<rk, (on whieii a flig^'t house is erected.) On this course you
will leave Faulldand islai'ds nn your starboard hand ; you may get as near
Long island ■ihoTi' as 2 or J miles, without any danger; but if you happen to
get on the N. shore, take pnrticular care to keep at the distance of 3 leagues,
in order to avoid tlie nx fs and shoals that lie along the shoic.
About 7 leagues Iv N.K. of Eaton n neck light-house lies a "shoal, or mid-
dle ground, called Stralford s/iiia/, on which there is but 2 feet of water, at
low water. You may steer on either side of the shoal you please; on the N.
are from 3 to? fathoms ; on the S. side fron» 12 to 17 fathoms water.
From Eaton's neck to Loyd's neck the course is W. ^ N.5 miles. Between
Eaton's neck and l.o;id's neck lies a deep bay, called Huntington's iaj/,whcre
a ship of any size may anchor with salcty, keeping the eastern shoreaboard.
From Loyd's neck to Matinecock point the course is VV. by S. distant 10
miles, good soundings, borrowing on liong island to 7 fathoms. The course
from Matinecock point to Sand's point \s W.S.W. distant 2 leagues; between
tliese two points is a bay, called flamslead's Unj, in which is excellent anchor-
ing, keeping the eastern shore aboard. To the northward of Sand's point, dis-
tant one (juarter of a league, lie the Execution rocks which have a spear on
them, with a board pointing to the S.W. which you must take care to avoid,
leaving them on your starboard hand. I" rum Sand's point the course is S.W.
4 miles to Hart island, to the west of which, between that and C7/y
island, there is gocKl anchorage for vessels of any si:;c. If a vessel, in making
this course good, is obliged to turn to windward, they must be very careful
of a rock called iho Success, which bears W.N.W. from the east bluft'of Coa)
/;«//, half a mile distant. The course from thence to Frog's point is S.S.W. dis-
tant 2 leagues, taking care to avoid the Stepping stones, one of w hich has a
spear on it, which lie on your larboard hand, and arc steep too. The sound-
ings on your starboard hand are regular to 3 fathoms. From Frog's point to
Hunt's harbour the course is W. keeping as near the middle of the sound as
you can conveniently. [See the Chart, and for one of Long island sound
on a large scale, eieri/ seamen is recommended to purchase that published by capt,
t'AtiiouN, of Newport, and others, as an invaluable work.

' Descript 1071 of *Longlshnd.
LONG ISLAND, (ram Monfauge puint to Red hook, extends W. by 1
«bo\it 108 miles, and is at the broudest part about 25 miles across. The
land is generally pretty low and level, excepting a lew hills, which lie about
40 miles to the westward of Montaiigr point. Along the 8. side of the islancl a
flat extends about a mile from the shore ; in some places it runs out a mile
and a half. Your course along this flat from Montaugc point toSandi/ hook is
S.W. by W. 3 W. 14 leagues; and then W. by S. 2'2 leagues. The E. end
of the flat is sand, the middle and west parts are sand and stones. About 4
leagues distant from the island there are from 15 to 18 fathoms water, and
from that distance to CO leagues, the water deepens to 80 fathoms ; in the
latter depth you will have oozy ground, and sand with blue specks on it.
About* leagues off the E. end of the island, you will have course sand and
shells • and'^at the same distance from the middle and west end, there is a
»mall white sand. From the S.W. end a shoal extends about 6 miles to-
wards Sa/irfy hook.

Directions from Gardner's Island to Shelter Island.
If j'ou fall in with Gardner's island, you must sail on tlio N. side of it
till you come up with a low sandy point at the W. end, wiiitli point puts (iff
2 miles from the hi<;h land. You may bring the island to L.ar eas!, and an-
chor iu 7 or S fathoms water, as soon as within the low sandy point.

Directions from Gardner's Island to New-London.
YOUR course from Gardner's island to New-London is N. by K. 5 or (j
Ipagucs In steering this course, you will leave riun.h idand and Gull islands
on your larboard, and Fisher's island on your starboard hand. In ihis jmss
vou will "o through the Horse race, where you will havea strong tide. The
flood sets^V.N.W. and the ebb E.S.E. This place breaks when there is any
wind, especially when it blows against the tide. Your soundings will some-
times be 5 fathoms, at others 1 5 and CO. In passing the west end ol lishcr s
isUind, you must give it a birth of 3i miles, as there are several rocks to the
westward of it; then your course to the tliR^t-house is N.N.W. distant 2
leagues; but in going in here you must not make long hitches ; you will leave
a sunken led<'e on your larboard, and one on your starboard hand. When
within one mile of the light-house, you may stand on to the eastward till tiie
light bears N.N.W. and then run up about N.N.E.
• Lorn itlMd sound is a kind of inland sea, from 3 to 25 nii!cs broad, and nboi.t 140 mile*
tens extending the whole length of the island, and dividing it Irom ComifetiCMt. It comnunu-
ortl, with the ocean at t)oth ends of Long Mwul, and affords a sate and convenient inland navi-
*"t'Thclight-h«U5« stand, on the we«t sid« of tlic harbour, and projects considerably ialo the

it will nc well to give Saybrook lifrkt a birth of 3 or * miles, and steer W. by

shore ; it will be hard bottom, and if you stand on upon the E. shore, you will
have 3, 4, and 5 fathoms water, muddy bottom, channel way — bring the
light to bear S.E. and anchor in muddy bottom, in 2 fathoms water near the
E, shore, called Morris's cove ; your course then up New-Huien harbour with
a fair wind, ih N. After you get into muddy bottom, it is best to keep the

If you come in near Capr Hattcras, be very careful of its shoals, and

see the fcllowinc/.
When you are up with Chingotrack shoals, in 15 fathoms water, it is near
enough to approach them ; from this station, steer N. bv V. which will

you must inmiodiiilely sti^r in west ; this will briuf^ the light-house n. little

of the Ilouk, you must take it on the same bow also, but pass it about two ca-
bles kiugth, when you must edge away to theW.S.W. about two miles, and
anchor with the light bcarinj;east of you.
If you shouul fall in with the cast end o( L(iiig Island, where tliere is now
a li};ht-house, whicii does not differ much in lalilude with Sandi/ houk ii<>ht,
but differs very conbiderablo in soundinps, as you will see by your drult as to
tlepth of water, (!vc. in which you cannot be deceived. In steering to the
westward for the light-house, or the Higfi/ands of f^lever/fitik, you must come
no nearer ta Long hiand than 1,1 fathoms water; in this rout, which is about
125 miles from the light-house, which is on the east end oi' J-oiig inland, and
the courses between W. byS. and VV.S.VV. it is necessary to use the lead af-
ter you run 8C rciles, to know how youapproach tlie Jersey shore — 10 (ath-
oms water is near enough at night.

Sticam, from which advancing about 10 leagues, you may begin to expect
soundings, and a S. W. current as soon as you get soundings; then the ob-
serviition by lead and line is to aid the navigator.
If you are on soundings, and running in for the land to the northward of
both the £(ffg /i«rAo«r4, the northern one is often called the liurniag hole,
which lies in hit. about 3S<* 40' north ; being near the land, awd steering the
above mentioned course, and you find you have suddenly deepened your wa-
ter from less to 13 fathoms, heave about immediately, lor many vessels hava

cres of ground, and have been totally lost.
If you arc beating to windward, i ff the Hook, \vaitin;:i"or a pilot, or for a

Ji'iuhe of the Hook beurs west, it is near enough. When you approach Long

gale of wind, but you may ride along shore with the wind from N.W. to S.W.
When the wind blows liaid at N.i;. or E.N.K. and you are in sight of Chin-
gotMck shunts, your only ciiaiui' for safely is to stand to the southward, for
you cannot clear the laiui to tl:e northward, or go into theharlxnir o(Chiii~
'^utcui-k, which lies about N.W. () miles from the south end of the shoals. When
"the wind is to the e;istward it is generally thick weather on the coast. After
you |)ass the soutiiward o{' Chingotaick, steer S.S.W. for the light-house on
Lupc llciirij, for the northern part of Muchupuiigo shoah lie -1 or b leagues to
the norlhwai\l of Smith's isliiml, and the sotiiliern part of them comes near
abreast of said island. In steering to the S.W, westward, o or (i leagues
S.E. oi Sniith'n iilund, you will have 12 or lo fathoms, and in some places 3
and 4 fathoms. When you are 20 leagues from land, in ilie latitude of
37" 30', you will have from 40 to 45 fathoms ; but when to the southward of
Cii]"^ Htiiri/, you will have from 7 to 8 lathoms, within a league oi I he land,
and a strong southerly current, which in general ruiis troiu two to two and a
kalf knots an hour.

A SHIP from sea falling into the northward ought not to go rrnror.
<han 7 fathoms on the shore untd she is well up with the middle of Unntlt'a.
island, when she may stand into 5 fathoms without danger.
A ship, approacliing from the southward, is to keep in 7 fathoms watei,
and no nearer, her course varying between N.J E. and J W. which will
bring her up with the cape, when falling into 8 or .9 fathoms water, sticky
ground, will shew her to be in the channel way.
lfthe*light on CupcUtnry is to be seen, keep no further to the northward
than fiir the light to bear W.S.W. by the compass, which course, after cros-
sing the Middle in 4 or \\ fathoms, will lead you to the channel-way, in 7, 8,
and }) or 10 fathoms, sticky bottom ; from thence gi west course will lead you
to the tail of the Horse shoe, in b fathoms, hard sand, the light bearing S. K.
by F.. If bound to Uiimplon road, inonler to gain with certainty the south-
ern s'.ore, on which it is right to take soundings, steer W. or \V. by S. until
the light hears E.S.E. then, being in 5 fathoms, or a quarter less 5, a VV.N.W.
course leads you up clear of irHlotighbfs pouit — this being passed, aiul the
water deepened into y or 10 fathoms, it is necessary to haul up W.S.W. ob-
;■!•; vins to come no nearer than 9 fathoms to the south shore, lest the bar ot^"
So-a-U's point hooks you in. Should you, after passing (r///oi/g/(/'v'A' point, fall
in 14 or Ij fathoms, ^Old Point Comfort light-house bearing W.N. W. steer
up S.W. by W. but go no nearer to Hampton bar on the north side than 10
lathoms, it being steep too, until you pass .SW(7/'i /)o.',(^ when, OA/ i*o;;;t
Comfort bearing N.E. you fall into 7, 8, aiul 9 fathoms, good anciioring.
As the setting of the tide varies much at rlitVeient sta;;es thereof, attention
should be paid as well to the hearing of the light as the soundnigs, wlien run-
ning up from the cape to IVUhmgldiifs point, lest you cross the channel and
run on a lump of the Ilorsc shoe, called the T/iiml-lc, vhich has only i> feet
water on it, and is steep too, (say 7 fathoms) — this lurnp lies a little below
Wil/ong/ihi/'s point on the opposite side — to avoid which is the reason why it
is necessary to take the soundings, as t)ie south Mde of the clianiicl is in gen-
eral sticky bottom, and on the Horse stine\t is hard sand.
From Hampton road to Norfolk the channd is too intricate lor strangers
to approach without a pilot, and they must anchor in the ro;id.
The greatest depth of water that can Ix^ carried to Norfolk is 21 feet ; but
if a ship should touch, the mud being so very solt, she will not be suhjeci
to injury, and there is no sea runs where the shoal water lies.

VVIie-n you are up us I'ar as Voiiit I,t>okoti(, ami have (he wind ahead, you
h;tvo a good cliannel to beat in, up as tar as Patuxrt river. You may stand
on eacli tack to 4 or 5 fathoms ; but in standing to the eastward, when you
have 9 or 10 fathoms, it is best to tack, as the siround rises sudden to 4 or 5
fathoms, and then lessens into two, hard sand ; tiu; western side is more rcgu*
lar. Your course fron> Point JMohoitf to Patu.xct riirr, with a fair wind, i*
N, by \V, J W. and the distance 5 lea<;nes, in 7 and 10 fathoms water, which
will cany you up with Calar point, which is; pretty bold, and makes the south
point of Ftilu.vci river. If the wind is to the northward, and yoti can-
tu)t got into I'atiixct, (which is often the case,) you may run in under
Crthr jn>int, and anchor in 3 or 4 fathoms, good bottom, antl secure from the
wind down the bay.
Patuxrf is as remarkaljJc a river as any in the bay, havini; very high land on
fhe north side of the river, with red lianks or clifts. If you po into ihis river,
pivc Cedar point a small I'lrth, and stand to the northward till you have the
river open, when you may run in for Drum point, which is on your starboard
fiand. This is a sandy bold point, with son>e small bushes on it. Double this
jvoint, and coiiie to in "S and .3 fathoms water, where you will be secure from
all winds. In l><>!itini;intothi'- place, voun>!tv stand to the north side for the
bif;h red clifts to 3 fathoms, and to ihesotitii side to 5 fathoms water, and in
the channel you will have 7 fathoms v.ater. ^^" i-n standin;' to the south jide
of the river, you will see some buildin^^s on tlie north side of the river, aUovo
.Dnini point ; as soon as these hiiildini;:? rome on with Drntn point you must
rack, to avoid a spit that runs ofl' from llies(iut!i side of the mouth oCtlie river.
If you cannot j;et tip the bay, you may aticiior under the hij^h clil'ts, and

p:l-o f;ivc Ciiiv puinl a good birth, as a lar'^e spit runs oil' here some wa^', wliielj
is very bold : Y'ou will have 8 fathoms, and before theiie>(t cast of your lead
you mny be ashore. Riui from Paliixct into the bay till you have .0 nr lO
fathoms water, when you will be near iniil-ehanne). Your course up the bay,
wht'n in the ciiiuinel, is N. by W. i \V . to Voplar i.^lainl, <listaiit S or ;) leagues.
in running this course, you will have troiu 10 to l.) fathoms. When Sliarp'.s

DtreGtions for going from Cape Henry or Lynu Haven Bay^
to York River.
AS Cape Henry S. by E. would lead you on the tail of the Middle ground,
and as the procee<ling with it at S.E. would carry y<.u o;i the tail and north
edge of the Horse shoe, your keeping the cape on any btarin;^ between S. by K.
and S. E. will carry you through between the two shoaN. On tlie tail, and
along the north side of the Horse shoe, the shoalings are gradual. With Cuj.e
Henri) bearing S.S.E. or te.E. by S. steer N.N'.W. or N.W. by N. until you
bring Cape Charles to bear E. by N. you are then to the northward of the
Horse shoe, and may steer N.W. or N.W. by \V. according as you have the
wind and tide. As the ebb sets strong out of tlie Chesapeak over the Hone
shoe, you must not, with a northerly wind and ebb tide, approach any nearer
to the shoal than 5 or 6" fathoms water. When you have brought New Point
Comfort to bear N. and Back-river point to Lear b. by W. you are then abreast
of the tail of York spit, in 3 fathoms water. Wlicn you are a little above
Long isle, you must not come any nearer to the shore than 5 fathonii, until
you enter the river above the marsh, then keep in 9 or 10 fathoms, and run
up and anchor between York and Gloucester, in what depth you please.
With u contrary wind, stand towards x\\ti Horse sh^e in 4^ or 5 fathoms,
and from it into 6"^ or 7 fathoms, until you are abreast of the entrance of ^Vt'io
J-'oco.vrt/j, where there is a gut of 7 fathoms, which runs close to the entrance ;
you should therefore be careful to avoid going too far in, and thereby getting
on the tail that extends from Toes marsh. When you have got thus lur up,
you should go no nearer to the shore on this side, than 7 or 6"A fatlioins, ail
the way up to York, On the other side, you should not stand any nearer to
the small iaies on l'^o/'A'«/;<V, than 10 or 11 fathoras: close to the tail of tliisspit
there arc; 7 fathoms : close to the middle of il there are 10 htthums ; and close
to it, abreast of the ibiands, you will have 13 fathoms, and before you can get
«nother cast of the lead, you will beashore. When you have eiiiered the river,
yim must not come any nearer to the flat than S or 9 fathoms water. This

Cape Uiitlenis is the most remarkable and danf;erous cape on the coast of
^:)rtlt-Arn:rk'.i. Tiiis point extends larinto the ocean, from the coast of iS'i);7//-
Ciirolii.ii, in 35" 15' N. lat. The water is very shoal at agreat distance from
tise ciipe, which is remarkiible for sudden s(|ualls of wind, and for tlie most se-
vere storms of tliunder, lightninj:;, and rain, which happen almost every day,
duriiiy; one half tlieyear. Some yeasTs since, the shoals in the vicinity of tV//,/;
Nattiras were fouiul so dangerous, so extensive, and soshallow, many of them
covered with not more than 8 or 10 fectwater, that no vessels, in that latitude,
ventured within 7 leagues of the land.
At present, the out-shoals, which lie alx)ut 13 miles S.E. of the capo, are
but of 5 or 6- acres extent, and where they are really dangerous to vessels of
mi'deratc draught, not a-bove half that extent. On the shoalest part of these
i"^ about 10 feet at low water ; and here, at times, the (Kean breaks in a tre-
menduous manner, spouting, as it were, to the clouds, from the violent agita-
tion of the Gulph-sircatn, which touches the eastern edge of the banks, from
which the declivity is sudden, that i« to say, from 10 fathoms to no soundinijs.
t)n the spot above menrione*!, which is lirm saml, it has been the lot of many
a good vessel to strike, in a gale of wind, and go- to pieces. In nioderatc
. vcathcr however, these slmals nwty he paascd over, if necessary, at full tide,
without n>uch danger, by vt'sseis not drawing more than 8, 9'"'" 10 feet water.
From this hank, fornu'rly of vast extent, and ctiUcd the FuU-inoon shoal, a
ridge riins the wi-.ole distitnce to the cape about a N.W. course, is about half
a mile wide, and at low water ha^ '^ynerally 10, 11, and 1 2 feet water. There
arc gaps at cjual ii'-tervid^, allording channels of about 13 or l6" feet water.
The most iiotetl of these is about a mile and- a half from the land, anil is about
I mile wide, and niiglit at I'hII sea be safely passed by the largest ships ; but
is rarely used except by coasting vessels. It may be easily known by a rant;e
of breakers always seen on the west side, and a breaker head or two ou the
«astern side ; which, however, are not so constant, only ajipearing when the
s^a is considerably agitated. A little north of the cape ia good anchoring in 4
or 5 fathoms, and with the wind to the westward, a boat may kind in safety,
and even bring olf casks t>f fresh water, plenty of which is to be found every
where on the beach, by digging a tool or two, and putting a barrel into tiie
land.

WHEN you are steering in for this coast, you should endeavour to keep
about a degree to the southward of the latitude of the place which you intend
to make, until you reckon yourself upon the edge of the Gulpfi stream, and
then your own judgment will direct what course is best, according as youHnd
the wind to blow. Do not, if possible to prevent it, go to the northward of
33" CO* N. hit. until you get into 10 fathoms water ; in this depth you will be
within the south or outer end of the i'ry»ff/>an.«//ofl/,whichliesinlat,33**30'

30 to Q5 fathoms : in this depth you will be very near to the inner edge of the
Ciilph stream. When you get into 17 fathoms, you will have fine grey sand,
with black spots ; in this depth of water there is a long llat. In steering W.
you will, for the first 5 or 0' leagues, shoal the water very little ; when you
come into 14 fathoms, you will shoal your water quicker, but gradually. l\\
10 fathoms water you will sec the land, if the weather bech'ar ; and you may
then be sure that you are within the Fri/ingpaii. From the outside of this
shoal you can sec no land bearing to the westward of N.W.
In order to go over Cfl/>c Tear Imr, you must take care not to bringthe pitch
of the ca|}e to the eastward of E. by N. until you have brouglit ' lUitilfirait to

Directions for sailing into *Savannalij in Georgia.
Mariners sailing into this port will observe the following marks and
buoys, viz. a large buoy lies on th^ outer edgoof the bar, in the deepest water,
having all the leading marks on t!ic beacon and light-house in one, bear
ing W. \ N. distant -!■ miles, Anotlicr buoy lies in the same diiection, one
lYiile within the bar. A tliinl buoy lies one mile farther, W. by N. from the
second. A fourth buoy lies N.W. by \V. from the third ; alter passing which
there is safe anchorage for a large ileet, in -1 or j fathoms, at low water, the
light-house bearing S.S.W.
The buoys lie, and lend in the deepest water, having a channel half a mile
to the nortliwanl, and one (]uarter of a mile to the southward of them, (in the
narrowest place) nearly the same depth of water, and there arc 10 feet on the
bar at lowest tides.
You may sail eitlier side of the buoys. If in the night, and you are to the
northward of Ti/bcc, be caretulof sfoing nearer thvGatUn bank than 5 fathoms.
]\[arlin'ii Industry is a bad reef, lying to the nortliwanl ot the bar, and tho
south breakers to the southward. In fresh winds, you take a pilot abreast of
the light house — in moderate weathei'without the bar. In clear weathcryou
may see the light-house at the distance of \'l miles.
Forty miles S. of Saraniiah lies Siinburi/, a i)ort of entry, at the head of St.
Catharine's sound, between Medxcaij and Neuport rivers, about 15 miles S. of

Winds and xvcathcr on the coast <?/ South-Carolina.
\VIIF,N t'e wind blows hard in the N.E. quarter, without rain, it coni-
rionly continues to blow violent for some lime, perha])s 3 or 4 dnvs ; but if
iuch winds aie attended with ruin, they generally shift to the E. E.b. C and
S.K.
S.E. winds blow right in on the coast, but they seldom blow dry, or con-
tinue long; in o, 8, or 10 hours alter their commencement, the sky begins to
look dirty, which soon produces rain. When it coines to blow and rain very
Jmrd, you may be sure that the wind will lly round to the N.W. ([uartcr, and
blow very hard for CO or 30 hours, with a clear sky.
N.W. winds are always attended with citar weather. They sometimes blow
very hard, but seldom do so longer than 30 hours.
The most lastiiii- winds are thu.se which bh)\v from the S.S.VV. and W.N.W.
and froui the N". to the F..N.F,. When the wind is in any of these quarters,
the weather is the most settled.
Thunder Ejusts are very common on this coast in Ihe summer time ; fliey al-
ways coni(' irom the N.W. cjuarter, and arc sometimes so lie:ivy that no can-
vas can withstand their furj- ; they come on so suddenly, that the greatest
precautions are necessary to guard against the eft'ects of their violence.
From I'ydcc inlet to St. Simvn's head the course is S. by W. | NV. and the
distance 10' leagues; and from Tylvv inlet to the bar on the entrance of St,
Simon the course is S. by W. and the distance 1.9 leagues. Between them are
tlie followinf; sounds, viz. Warsaw, Iluxulm, St, Catharine's, Sapclh, imd Little
Simon's. In proceeding from 'fi/lice for St. Simon's sound, you will have from
4 to 7 fathoms vater; the shore of the several islands which lie between thena
is Hat, and the shoalings as you approach are gradual.
St. SiiiKiii's liar lies yor 10 miles Irora St. Simon's fort : the fort is on the S.
end of St. Sitnon's inland, and by its white appearance, makes this place re-
markable. About a mile and a half to the southward of the fort is the south
end of Jckijl idand, which is easily known by the trees apperring as an um-
brella, and therefore called the Umbrella trees. In order to sail over the bar,
bring a large round tree which stands to the westward of the sound, right
on with the middle of the opening between St, Simon's and Jekyl islands ;
bring also the three trees which stand together to the westward oi St, Simon's
fort, just open to the southward of the fort, and then steer west, until you are
over the bar. On the bar you will have, at three quarters flood, about ip
feet water. The width of th(! bar is about three (juarters of a mile: the ex-
tremities of the sands, on each side, generally shew themselves by the breakers.
'Ihe north break head and the south break head bear of each otherS.K. by E:
and N.W. by W. Come no nearer to the north break head than half a ca-
ble's length. The ground on the bar is hard, but without and within the bar
it is soft. When the south end of Jehijl island bears S.W, .J W. the N.F. point
<j{ St. Simon's island, cnWt^il St. Simon's /letid, N'.byW. and the rfiund tree,
which stands to the westward of the sound, is on with tiie iniddlc of the openiii;»
between Jekt/t islandand that of St. Simoti, you are on the middle of tlie bar.
When you come into 4 J fathcnns water, you are within the bar, and should
then steer W.by N. J N. There is a middle ground in the fair way, but y(,u
need not fear it, because there arc always 3 feet more water on it than on ihc
bar. Give thefort.in passing it, a birth ol' about a cableand an hall'slength,
and at\chor with the fort E. by S. in 3 fathoms water ; you will then be about
;hree quarters of a mile from the fort.
The tide flows on the change and lull days of the moon, as follows, namely,
in the sound, 9 o'clock ; on the bar, half past 7 o'clock; and in the oflj:!^,
3 quarters past 6 o'clock; ■ . . ..

PASSES, OK MOUTHS OF TMK MISSISSIPPI.
About 8 leagues below Phupimiines, the Mississippi divides itself into
three channels, which are called the passes of the river, viz. 'i'he FaisI, South,
jind Honth-Wcst passes. Tlieir course is fiom 5 or 0' leagues to the sea.
Tut space between is a marsh with little or ni) limber on it ; but from its
situation, it may hereafter be rendered of importance. The Eiist pass which
is on the left hand going down the river, is divided into 1 branches about '2
leaj^ues below, viz. the pass a la Loutrc, and that known to mariners by the
name of tije lializo, at which there is a small block-house and some huts ok
the jiilots, wlio reside only hcie. Tiie first of these secondary channels con-
tains at pre^iCiit hut S feet water; the latter from 1+ to It) accordinj:; to the
seasons. The South pass, which is directly in front of the Mississijipi, has
always been considered as entirely choacked up, but has 10 feet water. 'I he
South-west-pass which is on the right, is the longest and narrowest of all the
passes, and a few years ago had 18 feet water, and was that by which the
large ships always entered and sailed from tiie ?.lississippi. It has now but
8 feet water, and will probaiily remain so for some time. In speaking ol the
«|uantity of water in the piisM's, it must be understood of what u on the bar
of each pass; for immediately after passing tlic bar, which is very narrow,
there arc from j to 7 fathoms at all seasons.
COUNTRY FROM TIIRPLAQUKMINES TO TIIF. SF.A, AND \'.Y-
Fi:cr oftiil: iiuuricani.s.
FROM Plaquemines to the sea is 1'2 or 13 leagues. The country is
low, swampy, chieHy covered with reeds having little or no timber and noK't-
tlement whatever. It may be necessary to mention here, that the whole
lower part of the country from the r.nglish Turn downward is subject to
overflowing in Hurricanes, lither by the recoiling of the river or retlux from
the sea on each side ; and on more than one occasion it has been covered
from the di'pth of '2 to 10 feet, according to t!ie descent of the river, where-
by many lives were lost, horses and cattle swept away and a scene of desiruc-
li'>ii laid. The last calamity of this kind hiqipcned in \l[)i- : but fortunate-
ly they are not frecpient. ill the preceding year the engineer who superin-
tended tli<; erection of tln' I'.uf ol P!a(picmines was drowned in his house
»e;!r the fort, and the w-'rl^r.ic.i and giiriison escaped only by taking retugc
on an elevated spot in tiie fort, on which tii<ri' w.'n- noluilhslanding '2 or 3
feet water. The.-e hurricanes have generally been felt in the month of .Au-
gust. Their greatv^st fury last.s about 12 lioin>. They commence in tlieS.
J-., veer about tr) all points of tl'e<;ompass, are felt mojt severely below and
seldom extend more than a few leagues abovi- Nev\-()rli>ans. In tlu ir whole
course ihey are nnirkcd villi luin and desoialiun. Until that of llDo, tiiei«
had been none I'elt from tlie year 1780.

behind thcin, but the place is susceptible of gicat improvement and of al-
fo.ilinjv another communication to small Ckaft lioin 8 to 10 feet drauj;ht,
between the sea and the Mississippi.
NF.W-Oni.F.AN'^.
BY recurrins to the maps and cxaminim:; ihe position of I.(.ui>iaiia, it will
sppear that the lower part projects considerably into the sea. It bus in all
probalility been formed by the sediment brought down by the current an.l
deposited on the Hat coast, 'riieie is theielore on the east siiie but a very
narrow slip alonf; the bank of the river, Irom the sea to the Iberville. '1 !.•
land is not generally susceptible of cultivation more than a mile in depth
from the river, the rest is low and swampy to the lakes and the sea, but in
};eni'ral abounds with cypress timber, which is sav\ed ly mills, which ar«
worked by artificial streams from the Mississippi in the time of freshes. 1 hey
generally' run live months in the yt-ar.
What has iieeii said of tiie east equally applies to the west si.le of the rivor.
The soil and situation arc nearly the same. After leaviui; t!ie bank ot the
river, there is an immense swamp, inteisrcted by creeks and lakes, exte!uiiii<;
to tiie lii;;h lands of Atacapas, a!:d occupy in- a spnce of tliirtyor forty Icaiiue!'.
'I'he city of Xew-Orleans, whicii is leuulariy laid out on the east side ol
the Mississippi, in lat. ;]0 N. and Ion;;. .';0 W. extend'; nearly a mile aloivg
the river, from the gate of France, on the south, to that ol Chapitoulas a-
bove, and a little more than l-.'J of a mile in breadth, from the river to th«
ramp-.irt ; but it has an exieiisive suburb on the upper side. The houses in
fioiitof the town and lor a scpiare or twobackwaids, are mostly ot br^ck,
covered with slate or tile and many of two stories. The remainder are ol
wood covered with shiiv^les. The streets cross each other at right an^les,an(l
are 32 French feet wide. The sfjuares between the intersections of the streets
have a front of .jOO French feet. There is in the middle of the front of the
citya;j/(/(C (/'urmcs, facing which the church and town-house are built.
Tiiere are from 12 to 1-U»0 houses in the city and suburbs. The population
may be estimated at 10,000, includinj; the seamen and {iarrison. It was for-
tified in 179:5 but the works were orii;inally defective, could not Have been
defended, and are now in ruins. The' powder misazine is on the opposite
bank of the river. In the city there i;:e 12 public buildin-s, some of which
are lariie.

Above tills begins the parish of Catahano«e, or first Acadian setllcmcni,
extending 8 leai^ues on the river. Adii>ining it and still ascending is the Cd
Acadian settlement or parish of the Fourche, which extends about ()" league^.
The parish of Iberville then commences, and is bounded on the east side by
a river of the same name, which tiio' dry a groat ii.irt of the year, yet, when
the Mississippi is raised, it communicates with the hikes Maurepas and Pon-
chartrain, and througii them with the sea, and thus forms w hat is called the
island of New-Orleans. KxcejU on the point just below the Iberville, tlie
country from Nev.-Orlcans is settled the wh(»le way along the river, and pre-
sents a scene of uiiintcrruptcil jilantations in sight of each other, whose fronts
to the Mississippi are all cleared, and occupy on that river from 5 to 2j a-
cres with a depth of 40 ; so that a plantation of .5 acres in front contains
200. A few sugar plantations are formed in the j)arish of Catahanose, but
the remainder arc devoted to cotton and provisions, a:itl the whole is an ex-
cellent soil and incapable of being exhausted. The plantations are but one
deep on the island of New-Orleans, and on the opposite side of the river as
far as the mouth of the Iberville, which is 35 leagues above New-Orleans.
CAVOU Di: LA FOIUCIIK— .VTACAPA8, AND OPFLOUSAS.
ABOUT 25 leagues from the last mentioned place on the west side of
the Mississippi, the creek or Bayou of the F> urrhe, called in old maps I,a
Riviere des Chitamaches, flows iroin the Mississippi and coi-nnniiiictites v.ith
the sea to the west of the Balise. The entrance of the Mississippi is naviga-
ble only at high water, but will then admit of craft of from 60 to 70 tons
burtiien. On both banks of this cieek are settlements, cii;c plantation deep,
for near 15 leagues, and they are divided into two parishes. The H'ttleis
are numerous though poor, and the culture is universally cotton. On all
creeks making from the Mississippi, the soil is the same as on the bank of
the river, and the border is the highest part of it, from whence it descends
gradually to the swamp. In no place on the low lands is there depth more
than suffices for one plantation, before you come to the low grounds incapa-
ble of cultivation. This creek afl'ords one of the communications to the two
populous and rich settlements of Atacapas and Opclousas formed on and
near the small rivers Teche and Vermillion which ilow into the bay of Me\-
ico. But the principal and swiftest communication is by the Bayou or creek
of Plaquemines, whose entrai\ce into the Mississippi is seven leagr.es higher
up on the same side, and 32 above New Orleans. These settlemcnls abound
in cattle and horses, have a large (juautity of good land in their vicinity, and
may be made of great importance. A part of liieir produce is sent l>) sea
to New-Orleans, but tiie greater part is carried in battcaux by the creeks u-
bovc mentioned.

none, and you may depend on being at the distance aforesaid of that island,
r.ndeavour to keep in lut. 12° 50', or betwixt that and 13° which will make
you sure of the island ; observe also there is near half a po'.it east variation.
The island of Harficuhes, which lies out of the line, and to the windward of
the Cairilfce Uands, is of a moderate heiglit and pretty level, save a few hills
hep? and there, of an easy ascent ; though originally (juite overspread with
wood, there is little now remaining, being mostly cut down to make room for
suiiar and other plantations. The island may be seen in clear weather, 12 or
13 leagues ofl', and e.t other times only 8 or 10 leagues. The cast end is mtioh
lower than the other parts; but when coming from the eastward, and tlu;
north end ot the inland is bearing W. by N. and W.N.W. about 5 leagues from
you, and the S.W. ])oiiit hears W.S.W. then the eiisleninioNt point of Burhn-
does appears to be the hiiihe.st hind ; fror.i this east pomt tti the southward,
the land is even, and declines towards the sea, but between the cast and the
Bonh points it is uneven, rugged and I roken.
Always endeavour to be on the south side of the island, along which you
mav run within three miles of the shore, till you come to Nce'l/uini'i point,
giving that point a (juarter ot a mile birth, and haul in for Carlisle hai) : run

At the bottom of this hay, (where there are very commodious wharfs for
the shipping and landing of goods,) stands Bridgetoun, the principal town
ot' Hnrbudors.
'J'he S.E. part of the island, from South point to Kitridge's point , is sur-
rounded by u hilne of rocks, which are called by some Colder b roeks, from
one ot the most remarkable among them ; they extend about a mile from the
shore, and you must be ctireful not to fall in with them in the night. At
South point, (called sometimes Oiafin'a point) about 6" miles to windward ot

FROM Roibuducs to the north point of Tobago, the distance is 36
leagues : the course, by compass, isS. J.> leaj-ues, which will bring you about
b leagues ti> w indward of the island. It is common, with most pilots, trt
steer is. i K. but with that cour.-e they are exposed, when in the latitud" of
Tubiigu, to be at least 10 lea;.;ues to the eastwaril of it. As the land is pret-
ty hi;;h, it may be seen at the distunceof Ijleaj^ucs, or more, in clear weatn-
er, and you must always endeavour to <;et on the north side of the island ;
that side is bold and clear, till you s;et down about J) miles trom 5/, (ii/ts'
rocks, wliere there are several rocks, above water, called 1 he Sinters. They
lie two miles lioni the shore, ami are boUl to. When abreast of these rocks
you may see the west end of the island, which is low and sandy, and to the
westward of them you may heave as near the shore as you i)lease.
Tohngo, like Barlxulocs, lies out (d" the line, and to the windward of the
Carribfc islands. The latitude of the N.K. end is 11" 2y' N. the longitude is
59« 57' NV. trom London. It is not es:po,ed to those dread'ul hurricanes
wliichare so <lestructive in the other islands.
if you make Toliago, towards the evening, and arc afraid of running in
with it, you must not, by any means lay too, but stand to the southward, un-
der an easy sail ; otherwise the current, which always sets to the N.W, or
N. v.. will probably occasion \our losing sij;lit of the island ; and if it should
set to the N.W. would perhaps carry you so far to leeward, that you could
not be able to letch it again.
Though ^I'ohago does not possess any liarbours,nropcrly so called, it has^cvcral
good bayj, which, considerin;; that from their southern latitude, they arc
7ie- exposed to dangerous gules of winds, are equally convenient and secure
-■.pping.
.n goin^ to any of the bays to the leeward of the island, you m.iy run as
near to St, (»'(7c.v' rochs, (mi the north point) as you chuse, and, if u,inng into
Man of IVur liaij, may borrow as near the north piMiit of that bay, as you
please. Vessels sailinj^ from the eastward for the south side of the island,
must keep well to tlu; southward, otherwise the current round Liltlc To-
bago, (which runs alwajs to the N.W.) will sweep them alway to the noith-
ward. To the S.W, there is nothing to fear, till you come to Courlaiid ban,
but what sliews itself, except Chcslvrfnld rock. This is a sunken rock, wiih <)

Tin: ISLAND OF MAIITINICO.
FROM tlie nortli end of St. Lucia, calleil tlie Capf, to Point Salivr;
or tlic south end ot' Martinico, the course is N. easterly, about 6 leagues.
This is the narrowest part of the channel that divides tlie two islands.
From (J run hlct bay to Diamuiid rock, the course is V. by W. about 7
leagues.
Martinico is about 12 or 13 leagues in lengtli, and lies N.W. by N. and
S. F. by S. ; its breadth is extremely uiiequU, and scarcely any where more
than 4- or .5 leagues ; and if you include the promontories, which project in
many places one or two leai^ues beyond the rest of the island, its circumfcr-
iMite will include above .'Jo leaf;ues. The land is very uneven, and every
where iulorsected with large hummocks, in the form of sugar loaves. Three
mountaini rise above those innumi'rable hummocks, the highest of which has
been a volcano ; it appears like the oowu of a hat, and may be plainly seen
on any side of the island you come.
J'ort Rdi/ul, on the south side, and at the bottom of a deep bay, called the
Cul dc S'lc lioi/ul, is the thief town o{' Martinico. It is very advantageously
situated, near an excellent harbour, and under cover of a peninsula, which is
entirely occupied by a fort, formerly the residence of the Governor-General
of the French Wiiiduord inlands. 'I'hat part of the Cul de Sac is called the
C'arenage. The town is situated to the N.N.W. and N.W. of the fort.
The harbour and the road are incumbered with several Kej/s, or shoals,
rom[K)sed of hard gravel, limestones, and coral : those keys, from their num-
ber, as well as from their situation arc very dangerous to strangers ; but they
may be consi»Iered as the safety of the road and harbour, s:nce no large ship
would attempt to sail among tliem, without a thorough knowledge of the
channel. The watering place is at Kiwr Monsieur, to the east of the fort.
Point Salinc.i, or the south end of Martinico, is low land, and has three
small rocks, or islands. When they bear west t'rom you, you may see be-
tween them and the point : within this point, to the westwarti, the Engli.sh
ship Raimmatde was lost, otY Fort and Point Clurdin ; it must therefore bea-
voided.
The Diamond Rf«/r, and the southernmost little inland, (called Kid island)
at Point Salines, lie from each oilier W. ly® N, and F. lf)''S. about lOmile-.
This rock stands about a mile from the shore. There is no going within ilio
rock, but on the south side it is bold. From Diamond rock to the entrance
of the CW de Sac, or Purt Uoija! Iniij, the course is N.N.W. distance 4 or 't
leagues, 'i'here are three small coves bet-veen, the southernmost of whicli is
called Littk Diamond cmc, anti the two others Lcs Jnces d'Arlct. The norlli
side of the bay is bold, and so is the south side, till you get above P/gam isl-
and, (Islet a Hauliers J whicli isasnuill green islaml on ilic south side of the.
bay, bearing from the fort about S. by F. In working into this bay, observe
to keep your lead going ; when standing to the southward, if you weather
P/geo« /i/u/it/, you may anchor ill wha' water you please. The wind is the
common breeze.
TIjerc is a ground about the middle of the bay, the lower end of whicii
lies a mile and a half below the fort ; it runs a long way up the bay, above
the fort; the least water on it is 3 fiithoms, but there is from 10 to 20 fath-
oms on each side of it. below that ground you may stand bold over lioiii
«de to side.
If you are bound from liarhudocs to Martini/io, the course is N.W. by N,
allowing for a lee current, or N.W. about 'JS leagues, will bring you from
the north end of Barl^ndnv.s to Vuiiit Sulinrs ; then you may shape your coui>'!
along shore for the Diamonds there is no danger if bouuU for Port Pto^ui.

When past the Diamond 3 leagues, you will sec a large bny open ; haul up-,
and the fort will be in view. Turn up towards the fort, till yuu bring it N.
or N. by £. then you will anchor in 8 fathoms, two miles distance. If de-
sirous to go tarther in, you will get otlthe bank, and come into 14 or I? fath-
oms ; that is the deepest and best ground. In upon the bank, the ground is
corally, but no rocks. If you anchor in the bay against the town, bring the
church to bear N. and steer right in, by reason of a bank off the fort, not
above 0' teet water thereon. You may make bold with a low point to tha
westward, called Point A'egro, and all the shore on that side, but the forego-
ing, if bound to Pigeon's island bay, go round the N.E. point, and you will
see open, between the island and the main, a small channel for sloops, when
very well acquainted ; but go round (he island, and borrow as near as you
please and turn in. The south shore is steep to; bring the westernmost part
of the island to bear N. W. by W. or N.N.W. and you will anchor in 7, 8,
or 9 fathoms ; the bay is clear ground, but do not anchor too near to the
eastern shore, by reason of a bank that breaks, when a great swell.
In April, l?72, the variation of the needle was found at Fort lloyal, by re*
peated observations, to be 3" 52' east. 'I'ides have been observed in the Cul
de Sac Kot/al, as well as in other parts of the island : at the e(|uinoN, they
rise about l6 inches, and at other times, between 8 and 12 inches^ French
measure.
Port St. Pierre, (St. Peter J the trading town of JVftfrtiniVo, lies about four
leagues to the N.W. of Fort Royal, in 14' 44' north latitude. It is built
l>artly upon the rising grounds, at the foot of a ridge of hills, and partly along
the shoreof a spacious, circular bay, which forms an open road to the south-
ward and westward. The best anchoring place, called the Frigate's Anchor'
age, lies in the southernmost part of the road, (Where you see some steep
el ill's and rocks) in 7 fathoms, gravelly ground. If you bring the highest
steeple of the town N. by E. somewhat northerly, ana Point Carbet (oh the
Kouth side of the road) south, you will have 7 fathoms, oozy ground.
If you intend to stay some time in this road, it is proper you should lie
with one anchor close to tlie shore, to the S.E. or E.S.E. (or even on shore)
and the «)ther to the N.W.
In the hurricane months, that is from the 15th July to the 15th Octob«r,
ships cannot lie with safety in this road, and ought to leave it oil the l5th
July, at farthest. If they are to remain for a longei- time at Martinico, they
must retire into Fortjtioyal bay, where they lie secure against the hurricanes:
they may also find shelter in Trinity baj/, to the windward, and on the north
side of the island. 1 he whole circumference of iliuiYiwito, as we have ob-
M rved already, is indented by large bays, at the bottom of which are flns
iandy coves, and very good harbours, sheltered by long points, projecting in-
to the sea, but all these are nut sate in the winter season.
When you come frcmi the eastward. If yo^ intend to Sail by the north sida
of Mtirtiuico, you are to take your departure from the Canel, a small rocky
island that lies 2 miles north of the easternmost point of the island, in 14*
51' north latitude ; in running along which you will be exposed to sudden
flurries, which a(c very frc(|uent, on account uf the narrow openings of the
mountains, ami, if the top-gallant sails are up, you mustkcepa lookout after
the hallyards.
Point Miicouha, the northernmost of the island, is in 14* 53' north latitude,
is remarkable for a waterlall of the same name ; it ik a kind of torrent fal-
ling into the sea from the top of a high rocky coast.
About 5 miles, further W, byS. you will sec a round rock, detached from
the land, called the Pearl, and to the southward of it are the little islands of

THE ISLAND OF DOMINICO.
FllOM Pearl rock near the N. W. end ofMarliaico, to Point Cachacroti,
or Scots head, m Dotninico, the course is about N.N.W. 8 leaj^ucs. 'I'his
island is about 8 leagues in length, aiid lies near N.N.W. and S.S.E. It is
fcxtreinely mountainous, and appears rugijed and brokoii. li bears in giciit
]dcnty all the wdods which are common in the Wcnt-liidics, and produces
abundance of whut they call ground provisions. There arc properly speak-
in;;, no harbours in Dominica ; but thcrcis good and v.xXc i.nihoragc along
,lhu west side, which is all bold ; though ships lie CNposcd to strong westerly
winds, as. indeed in almost all the roiuh oi xXw Vnrrihe idands : but those
winds prevail only in the winter months. Thi; road of the town of P^ascau,

About 4 miles from the north end, lies b most nohic bay, called Prince Ra-
yeil'.f, which, besides its safety, its magnitude, the depth of the water, and
the ^^oodness of the anchorage, has thu advantage of three fresh rivulets run-
ning into it.
On the north side is the l<ig!i remarkable bluffs, called Prince Tliiprrl's
head, by which the bay is easily known. The south point (Hollo's head) is
pretty low, but both point> are boK! to, so that in working in j'ou may stand
bobily over from side to side, which is near 3 miles over ; the bay is about \\
mile deep ; you may anchor in what water you please, and moor W.X.W.
and E.S.K. ; the best anchoring is rather ou the north side. Thcrcarc three
rivers running into the bay, where yoii may water, but the middle and north
rivers arc to be preferred. The best wooding place is on the north part of
tiie bay.
If you are bound to Dominico from Barhaifo<-s, you must steer N.N.W. till
you pass Marlinico ; then a ^'.^V. course will carry you to the northward of
Dominico. Leaving il/«;v/nv</i/;//c on the starboard side, haul up close iti
with the north point of Dominico ; you will see a round bluff, making like an
island, if at some distance ; go round that, and open Piincc linpvrl's bay :
turn into the north part, and anchor in 7, 8, or <) fathoms. Vou will see the
mouth of a large river, anchor to the northward of that, half a mile, andyoii
will be opposite to a small river, which you water at, the best in the bay ;
the great river is brackish. There is another river to the southward, where
you may anchor in 0' fathoms, clear ground ; but in 10 fathoms you will liav'e
coral rocks.

THE island oiGnaduloupe, one of the largest of the Carribccs, is near
6*0 leagues in circumference; its form is vcrv irregular ; it is cut in two hy
an arm of the sea, called the Salt river, diinmisiiiiig in width from 50 to I.1
fathom-, whose soundings are in some piaci.s deejieaaigh for a ship of /lOO
tons, wiiilht in otIuTs they have scarce water enougii for a burivof 50. The
length of this strait is about 2 league's.
That part of the island on the we.sl of Suit river, whicli gives its nnme to
the whole colony, is divided into two by a. ridge of very high mountaiiis run-
ning north and south. Towards the s;uih poii.t rises in the middle region
of the air, a mountain, called 7-« Soiifi'rierc, (Sulplu;r hill) like the volcano
v,i St. Lucia, that exhales a thick and black smoke, au.\e.l with sparks, which
are visible in the night.
The chief place o'i Guaildonpc is the town cf lia-.wtcrrc, on tl;c west si<Ie,
near the south end of the island, in lat. 1 j" ,5.9' J(>*, and lon^. west from

known by the names ot'VVrre </V» A«i/^ (or the Upper Land) which is the
custcrnmost, and Tcrie d'cn has (Lower Land) which is the westernmost.
According to a very exact bearing, the S.W. point ot the westernmost Suint
lies S. 27" 30' E. of the S. point of Guadahvpe, distance 8 miles ; the least
depth between them and the main island is 17 fathoms. But the best chan-
nel is on the south side, for in the former there is a sunken rock, which lies
1 J mile from the Saints. These islands are so happily arranged, that in the
midst of them there is as fine a road for shipping as any in the neighbour-
hood. The Saints are all bold to, though they appear to be a parcel uf
rocky islands.
IWV. Island of Murvgalantf, vihowX i miles to the eastward of the
Saints, with a good channel between, is about the height of Marbadoos, and
rises gradually towards the north. At the south end, and the east side, aie
dangerous rocks underwater, and reefs which stretch about one league in
^h^se^; bu! the west side is a good lair white shore, with good anchorage
in several places.
Fr«mi the north end of Maryga/ante to Desfada, the course is N.N.E. n-
tout 8 leagues, and the channel good, keeping the middle ; but there is a ve-
ry small sandy island, called Vetitt Tene, which lie* ri;dil in the fair way ;
i,t is about 3 miUa long from N.W. to S,l;'. and is divided in two by achnnno),
where small vessels may anchor, II is not safe to come within more than 2

(I'oitit Chateau) which is remarkable by a parcel of grey rocks, distance
fibout 5 or 6. miles. There is no passage between Vetitc 'icrre and the main
island for any thing but small craff. There is pretty good aiichoring by Pe-
tite Terre, to the v est\vard, 2 mile? from shore, in 7 fathom^ water ;, then

If cominfj; from English /larlmir, you are bound to St. John's harbour, o\i'
ferve that from the former, to the eastward, the shore lies K. by N. ""d
W by S, Down abreast v{ Johnson's point, and two leii;;ues to the eastw.ard
f,f il, is foul -ground about two miles cjIV shore. Cive the ishmd a birth of at
lea-t ;i or 4 miles, and when you come down as low as Johnson's point, haul
towards the N.N'.W. and keep your lead ;^<iinj;: then steer for Saiuli/ isliiml,
which will l^ear N. or N. by W.ofyou, and if tiie wind will allow you, you
may run within Sandi/ island, where you will not have le»s than 7 luthoms :
however, it is better for a stranger to go to leeward of Snndij ishaul. I'e sure
>(>u do not stand above 3 or 4 miles to the northward of the i.hmd, on ac-
count of the lee current, that comes down to the north side of it, as well as
.,f several shoals which lie to the N.E, of the sunie. lUit when you can fetch
Ship's stern, you may stand boldly tov.ards it, and anchor in wl-.;it water
you please, from 6 to 1'2 fathoms water. IfjouKeepin 15 fathoms, th:.t
will run you without Somly island, that is to the westward ot it, m case ii!{;ht
should come on. There is a bad Uioal wiiich lies N.N.E. and N.K. by N.
fromS/////*.v/fr«, distance about I. ^ mile ; when it blows, you may see the
breakers on it; it is called the /r«/////-^j«. The channel is on the south
bide of it, up to St. John's harbour.
If, in the day time, you are running down the souih side of Antigua, you
may'haul in iv: Johnson's point, till you brini; the Jndia creek land to be seen
a qood sail's breadth open with Old roul bli'f ; run down with that mark on,
tilt you bring the largest of the I'irc islands t;> bear N.K. A K. then steer
northward ; "that course will carry you clear of the Tiufeet hank, which lies
oil" the south side of the Fiic islands ; likewise ol' the Sinejcc' bank, that lies
o(f the north point of the I he islands harbour ; ar.d win n you bring the
HaTik's bill to bear east, you may haul up as nigh Ship's stern as you please,
within Sandy island.
To anchor in St. John's road, bring the Ships stern S.\v. by \\ . ami !if.
James' fort E.S.E.and the Wallington N. by W. and you have 7 latlioms
water, good ground.

St. John's is a bar harbour, there being a sand which stretches off from the
N. of the harbour S.VV. home to the land on iiie south side. Tiie deepest
water is on the southernmost part of the bar, where you have U feet ; on the
north is but 12. In comin-r in, you must keep along the south shore, as
there is nothing to hurt you from *7,/;Va- 6/fn/, all along into the harbour;
you may come so near A7«/*4^c/«, as to ca^t a stone ashore, having 11^

and keep mid channel, if you can. 'Ihc most water is 4.^ tathonis, and the
iutme in Frteman'n liai/ ; but there is at most times smooth waier. However,
it is not safe for h stran;;er tu carry h ship in, on account ol the bar, and

you can get the same water as at h'lihmulh harhuiir.
'Ihree miles to the N.K. of English harbour lies WlI.l.OVGIinY BAY ;
the goinj; into this bay is on the we^t side ; for on the east side stretches otl'a

Spit, with only ,9 feet water upon it ; between Sand i/ island and the Spit theru
h 4 fathoms ; between the Spit and the west end of the reef, there is 7 fath-
oms, and the channel wider. It is better, however, to tail in close on board
Sandi/ inland, and Hncluu' in 4 fathoms.
jWA'SUCH harhour lies 3 or 4 miles further up, at the east end of
Aiiligua. On the south side is Green island; the best £:oing in is between
this i^lalKl and the south part of the harbour, where you have 5 fathoms wa-

ty, keeping that draught of water. If the water should .shallow, haul ofl"; but
if deeper, haul in, till you bring in Ship's-stern to bear S. J K. Then haul up
for the fort. There lie.> a bank off Great bird i land, bearing N.N.Ii. 1 ,J mile ;
white ground may be seen I J mile before you come to it. The best water on

seems somewhat long. This lotk is c(;n;posed uf two niouniains, wlu'tcmid-

THE ISLANDS OF SAXTA CRUZ, ST. JOIIX, ST. TIIO.ALU BIEQL'n, &c
SANTA CRUZ, or Suiitt Croi.r, is the southernmost of the flrgifi
i.sldiuk; it lies \\. by N. from Sanilij point, in St. Kilts, distance 23 leamies.
The island is not very lii^h, but full of hummocks, two of which, on the east
side, arc hi;;hcr tiian all the rest. It is of a triangular form, its length beins»
about 8 leagues, and ihc <j;reatest breadth 2 leagues. On the S.K. end is a
flat, stretching a great way into the sea ; the whole south side is bordered
with reefs and shoal«, which make it dangerous to come near. Santa Crnz
is badly watered. The cliief town, called Chrlstianstird, is situated at the bot-
tom of a bay on the north coast, under the cannon ot a fortress winch defends
ihe principal harbour. The other town, named Frulriclidad, lies on th.e west
side
From the town ofVfirisfinn.<ad, to the S.W. point of Si. John's inland, tbt
coui-se is N. by E. about (i Ungues. In the channel, about 6 miles S. by W.
of this pi^int, lies a remarkable round rock, called Bird's Jia/, or Frcnv/ikej/,
which is about a quarter as lar^e as liedotido, near Monscrrat.
Si. Ju/in's is 2 leaLUes broad, and 4 in length ; it is the best watered amonj
the I'irgint, and its harbour on the east side of the island, passes for the beat
to the leeward <>f Antigua.
The ca.st point of this harbour is called Moor's point, and is of a moderafe
iize ; but the walls of the fortress, which are all white, may be seen 7 or 8
leagues off. You have reaukir sour.diiiiis from a little wiliiout the Moor'spoint
quite into the h.ubour, from 10 lo.j iii.homs water. Tiu- nu)Uth of the har-
bour is not quite half a mile bn-i!'!, and oil" the lee or wc;t side there is a key,
with a reef from the inside of it, that rur.s to the southward. .As the entrance
ef the harbour lies wi'h the wind any tliinj; to thenorlhwai i of cast, you may
lie in it ; but if the wind is any thiim to the southward of K.S.P,. you muse
anchor without the point, and warp in. 'I lie C!(;vfrnor's house, and part of

fi-om the key before mentioned. The harbour is full of lagoons and rivulets^
and runs a long way to the northward. , • , , ,
Observe, in coming in, to leave one third of the channel to windward from
the Moor'spoint, and two thirds to leeward towards the key, ami you will
not have less than 5 fathoms water.
There '» a small bank, which does not shew itself, and lies right off from
the gate, a cable's lcn<;th from shore, with only JO feet water on it.
Tiic watering place'is at the south bide of the town, just without the south
gate, but the water is brackish.
If y(m are bound to JV/om-o, from the eastward, night comnig on, and
you otV the E.N.li. part of St. John's, you will take notice of the easternmost
liiij;h land ; it is inland a little from the east end of the island, which is loAv.
You may run to the westwa- 1 till you bring that high land to bear S. by E.
and then bring to till morning. But take great care that this high land docs
not deceive you, for it lies a long way in the country, and it is all low land
by tiie water si<!e. In the morniHg make sail ; you may see the walls and"
works all wiiitc about Moor's point.
From the south pointof St. John's island, called Ram's head, to the entrance
ofi'^ 7'/(on»M' A.7r6o«r, the course is N.W.1 W. 6'.} leagues; and from the
N. side of Santa Cruz, N.N.W. i N. lOleagucs. The latitude of St. Thomas'
town is 18" 21' 56" N. o ,
The island o( St. Thomas is about the length of 5^ John's, but narrower.
Its soil is sandy and badly watered. The principal advantage of St. Thomas'
island consist* in a very good harbour, on the south side, where 50 ships may
tic very secure.
In running down from St. John's to St. Thomas' harbour, you leave Frenci
hry to the scru-thward of you, and you continue your W.N.W. course tjll you
come down to Buck kcps ; they are much lower and longer than i'rcnch key,.
before mentioned, and "there is a small opening of no consc<iuence between
them. You leave these keys to the southward of you* about one mile, and
then steer N.W. when you bring them S.E. and continue thai N.W, course
nboul 2 or 3 miles, till \ ou bring the harbour open ; then haul in for the towa
N. by \V. or N.N.W. giving the east slunv all along a good birth, and ruiv
within half a luilc of the fort, which is white and plainly seen at theea.st of the
town. You anchor in 5 fathoms water, line clear ground ; it is a fine harbour,
where vou are landlocked from allwiiwls, but from theS. by \V. to S.K. by S.
Which part lies open to the sea ; but the wind seldom bhws in, unless it is in
the hurricane months. There is a rock above water in the harbour's mouth,
(called Prince Hupcrt's cliff,) which you leave to the eastward of you; you
iaay make bold with the west side of it, but there is no passage witliin.
From St. Thomas' harbour, if bound to Vortorico, being in tlieofiing, steer
W. by N. till you come down the length of the west end of the island, which
is about 3 leagMcs from the harbour. You will see a M)iall island called Lit-
tle passas^r, about 4 or 5 miles to the wesi'vard of the west end of Little St.
Thomas. Little St. Thomas'x^ a small island that almost Joins with the west
cud of the Great island ; there is a small opening b4."tween tliem, but if no note.

Inrunuini; down till you pass Little passage, you have soundings all the way,
but deep in some places.
VV.S.W. J S. from the mouth of St. Thomas' harbour, above 4 leagues, and
S.W. by S. 7 miles from the west point of the island, lies a remarkable rock
in the middle of the chiinnel. It is round, rugged, and double pointed, as
high as licachy head, aid may be seen 5 or tt leaj^ucs oil', being all white with
the bird's dung ; it appears at some distance like a sail, whence it has been
Called St. Thomas' larvel, or 5^ Thomas' hoy. This rock is bold too all round.
Two leagues and a half from the Carvel is Great pasiage island, bearing
west from the west end of St. Thomas about 4 leagues. Several keys and rocks
lie round this island, and chiefly to the westward of it ; they are culled the
Tiopi'^ ^fj/'S f>'<"n 'he great number oi' Tropic birds breeding there. Great
passage island iiwi'ii have a large birth ; the channel between the two Passage
islands is near 3 leagues broad ; keep nighest the little one to the caslsvard,
leaving all the others to the southward.
The island of Portorieo is high land, and may be seen from offS^. Thomas,
JAttle passage island is 2 miles in len!;th, and about as high as liarbadoes ;
Great passage island is about the same height, and three times as long as the
former ; there are two or threesmall islands a little to the northward o( Little
passage island.
The course through the Passage islands is N.VV. or, if you have but little
wind, keep N.N.W. for fear of a calm, and lee current, the west side being
foul, and dangerous without wind. Vou must keep that N.W. course tillyou
bring the E.N.K. point of Portorieo, which is a low jjoint, to bear W, by S.
orW.S.W. and then you may steer west, which course will carry yon to St.
Juan, tlie chief town of Portorieo. I'lom thcwcst end of Little passage island

course is W.N.W. 9 leagues ; and the shoalest water 5 fathoms.
S.W. of St. Thomas' harbour, 7 or 8 leagues, and 3 or 4 south of Great
passage island, lies the island of Bicque, called also Crab island, from the great
fjuantity of crabs that are found there. It is about as hit);h as Marygalente,
with a rich soil, and full of trees almost ^^u over. Thewes-tend, on the N.l!,
part, islow and smooth land, like sandy ground ; but towards the S.W. thero
are hills, and from those hills to the west, low broken hummocks ; then to the
S.W. higher hills and hummocks. From the west end oH luttle passage island
to the east end of Craft island, the courseis S. J W. 5 league? ; 5^ fathcmisone
mile from the shore. In going to Crab island, be sure to run down the south
side of it, for the north part is foul. You may sail witlun 2 or 3 miles of the
»hore all the way down, till you come to the west end, and then you will see
n low sandy point ; anchor on the south side of that point, you will not have
above 3 J or 4 fathoms, two miles off. You may run in, till you bring that
low sandy point to bear N. by E. J E. and the south point of the bay S.E.
then you will be 1 .^ mile from the shore, in 4 fathoms water. Mere is plenty
of fi^h to be caught wi(h a seine, oi> the nonh side of the low sandy point, in
the morning, and ;;ood wood of different kinds ; water is to be had about half
a mile to the southward of the low sandy point, a little way from the west side.
Crab island lies about 5 leagues from Portorieo, being 3 or 6 leagues lonn,
and 2 broad. It is uninhabited ; the English, who have attempted twice tu
settle there, have been driven away by the Spaliiards.

THE ISLANDS OF TOIVIOLA, VlflCfN GORD.A, AXEGADA, &e.

TORTOLA, a few miles to the eastward oi'' St. Johns, is the principal
of the English I'irgin islands; it is near 5 Iciigues long, and '2 In'cmd, but bitdly
watered, and has the name of being unhealthy ; the cotton, which they culti-
vate there, is very much esteemed by the manufacturers.
Tlie town is situated on the south side, at the bottom of a I)ay2 miles deep,
with a pretty good road at the entrance, with 1'2 fatiioms waior, goodKiound.
Virgin Gorda, (that is, theG'/rr;/ Virgin,) or rvnislon,nm\ by a ct«rrupti.)n
generally adopted Spanish tozcn, lies 4 leagues to the east of 'J'vrlola; its form
is very irregular ; it is very high land, about 0" leagues long (rum east to west,
still worse watered than Tortola, and having fewer inliiiuitaiits, wh'i cultivate
tobacco, indigo, cotton, and pease ; their common food is iish a.ul potatoes,
thej' drink rain water, which they keep in wooden casks. It is asserted, that
the mountain which rises in the middle of the island contains a silver mine.
Virgin Gorda has two good harbours; the largest, called Ea.\t buy, lies on the
north side, and you may anchor very lafe at the bottom of il, in 5 fathoms;
the other is on the west side, where the town is situated in 18" 18' N. lat.
The course from Snba to Virgin Gvrdu is N.W.by W. northerly, above 21
leagues. Wiieii Virgin Gorda bears from jou N.\V. by \.7 leagues off, tlie
Virgins appear like tlirec islands, with a great many »mall ones about them ;
the middlemost is tlie longest, and when you come within 3 leagues, they seem
as if they were joined together.
To the south of the west end of Virgin Gorda, lies the Fallen city, or Old
Jerusalem a parcel of little broken islands, and rocks just above water,
stretching abouto leagues from north to south: attheirsoulh end is a remark-
able rocky island, called Round rock; the next island is caMcd Ginger island ;
between which and the Round rock is the eastern passage into the Virgin's
gang-icat/, called the King's channel ; there is no ground in the passage with
the hand lines.
To the west of Ginger /.v/ahJ lie several small islands, called Cooper's, Salt,
Peter's, Normand's, and iVifch islands. 'I'hey bound the i'irgin's gang-j:n)/ on
the south, as the islands of St. John's, Tortola, Heel, wiih Dog islands, and
Virgin Gorda, terminate it towards the west and north. The de])th in tho
Virgin's gang-way is from 10 to 25 fathoms. It is abciit 8 iiagues long, and
from 2 to 4 broad. The north entrance lies between Dog island, to thi; east
Vi Tortola, and the N.W. point of Virgin Gorda- being aboii; half a league
liroad ; the south entrance, whose breadth isabo\e Oiie league, is between Sf,
John's and Hitch island: there is another entrance ff' i .e imrthof St. Joint's,
scarce a mile over, which is the western passajje o' .iic A'i/^'^ cAa/jHc/just

THE ISLAND OF SOMBRERO.
BETWEEN the Virgin islands, and that of AnguiUn, lies a small rocky
island about 2 miles in )ei>^th ; k consists of a very flat eminence, wiihout
any hu. :inock upon it, cov«red witii birds, from tlio southward. You can-
not descry this island further otf than j or 6 leagues at most.
It has on the east side several rocks, and is surrounded with a large shoal,
whose furthest extent is to the westward.
The latitude of iiimlirefo is IS" 3»' N. and its longitude is 639 29'W.fron*
London. Two leagues oft' .S'omArero, when it bears from E.N.E. to E. by S.
is found from 33 to '22 fathoms, uneven ground and rocky bottom.
Sotulireru lies about 10 leagues du<j east from Aucgadu, and in going be"
tweeii the two, you have 5, 6, 7, 8, and lt> fathoms water. The course
from A'flAa to Somhrr.rit is N.VV. by N. ^ N. 20 leagues.
The passage to leeward or windward of Sotnbrero, is very clear and safe ;
there is no swell; the winds arc generally favourable lor going out ; and

X)irections for sailing along tfie south side «/'Portoiico.
IF you are bound down the south side of Portorico, observe you will se»
(lie S.E. point of that island, when lying at anchor at Crab island; it bears
from thence S.W. by VV. J W. or W.S.VV. about 5 leagues, and is called Ctfjje
lilalopoiw. You iisay run down till you come abreast of that cape within 3
or 4 miles of it, and then steer west, and by the time you have run 3 or +
leagues down past the cape, an. I that it bears N.E. you will see a large breach
'2 or 3 miles long which lies alortg the shore, and about 3 or 4 miles off the
same. Take care to keep a mile or two without the breach ; and in running
down aback of the breach, you will descry a small building by the water side,
which is a guard house. Be sure to run down as before mentioned till you
bring that guard house to bear N. or a little to the eastward : then you may
Iiaul in north or N. by E. for the guard house, and anchor in 4 uthoms wa-
ter, the guard house bearing north, or N. J E. or N. by E. distance 1 mile ;
And the west end of the breach S. by E. You may run a small anchor to
the N.W. for the land breeze ; you have no shelter from the sea breeze but
the breach. This place, which they call Guyama or Yatnma hai/, is much
fre(|uented by traders. In going in, although you give the west end of the
breach a good birth, you must keep your lead going; the soundings aie irreg-
ular, from 5 to 7, or i\ fatiioms water, and then it shoals gradually as you
go in shore. The lami is low by the water side, in the country it is high and
uneven, and has nothing remarkable.
In gorngont of 6'wj?am« ftr/^ you run S.S.W. or S.W. The next trading
j)lai<' is called Halinas, and lies about 6' or 7 leagues to the westward oi the
former. After you are out of Oaifama bat/, about 2 or 3 leagues ofV, yon
may steer west as before, passing several keys to the northward of you, which
lie Jiietty nigh the shore ; and when yoii have run alM>ut 0" leagues

a mile and a half birth, then haul in, and you may anchor under the lee of
,the Dead Chest, in what water you please, from 7 to 12 fathoms water; the
west pttint of the small key bearing S. by E. J E. distance 1 J mile, and ti.c
north point of the Dead Chest N.E. ^ E. distance from the shore 1 mile ; thei.

which you cannot see wlienyou lie at anchor Htthe Dead chest; but you may
rcacb over from the Dead chest boldly, it is about 7 or eight miles; keep your
lead going; you will have from 7 to4 fathoms, and it shoals gradually as you
come niglier the Portorico side. There is another small trading place, call-

The Dead chest,* or Deadman's c^M^lies l6or 17 leagues frtanCape Malo'

You may anchor in this road in 23, 18, 14, and down to 8 fathoms, good
ground. When in 23 fathoms, soft oozy ground, the northernmost point bears
from you N.N. W. 3 miles, and the other S. by E. about 2 leagues, and a small
village amongst liie trees, is distant about one mile. In coming into this road
from the northward, you may sail within a mile of the shore to the south-

THK nortl; coast of I'orlorico, which extends, like the south coast, east
rnd we^t, is very little known. It is rugged and uneven, having many rocks
;.nd small islands, where the sea beats sometimes with violence. On that
coast, about 12 Ir.vi'.nes from the N.K. point, is the town of 67. JiWMtiie cap-
ital of the inland. It is the iee of a bishop, large, and well built, and defend-
ed by several strong forts. They have no water, except rain, which they pre-
serve in cisterns. Tliis place is bilter inhabited than most Spanish cities in

The Endi/mion rock lies S.W. by S. from the ho(\y of Sand key, distance ft or
f) miles. The danijerof lliis siioal is but of snwill extent. It consists of 7 of
H heads of rucks, one of which has only 8^ feet water on it ; this is the rock
where the Knijlish ship Endgmion was wrecked on the 28th of August, 17P0,
and till then undiscovered. Some ofthe other rocks have 2, 3, and 4 fathoms
on them, and bei..'een them 7, 8, and 9 fathoms water. The exact sound-
ings, between the key and the sh(al, could not be ascertained by reason of the
blowing weather and for want of time. TJicre arc four rocks which lay otTto
. the eastward of the south end of Sand key, two of them shew themselves above
the water, and the two others are even with it. The reef from the north end
of the key stretches to the northward 1^ or 2 miles, and has some rocks out
of the water. The channel between the shoal and the key appears to be clear
and spacious.
Sand key makes the entrance of tlris^nioajn^ from the soutli, and it is very
necessary t« make it, and to get within a li ^uc or two of it ; you may pass
by it at that distance, and you will tlun m ' e the second of those islands,

«carce 3 leagues from the little one. This is the last island in the passage,
and you may keep about the same distance from this as you did from the oth-

There arc several small harbours on 'he east part of the Berry inland*, where
water, and other refreshments may be hi d ; but as they are seldom frequented
but by the people of I'rovidenct, it may b«' superfluous to say any thing alwut
them, the chart shewing their situation.
Something might be said with regard to the passage by Bernini, but it being
the shoalcst, and the bars to the eastward of Bernini making it very danger-
ous, no stranger out to go there without a pilot.
From Providence to the Hole m the wall (sometimes called the Hole in tAe
rotk),- at the south end of Abaco, the course is N. about 20 leagues.
In the passage from the Hole in the wall, towards the Gulf of Florida, it i%
necessary to give the west end of the Grand Bahama a good birth, not only
on account ofitsshoals, but for fear, if the wind should hang south-westward,
you should be embayed.
The North, or Little Bahama hank, is little frequented but by whalers anit
turtlers ; and, on account of its iron bound reefs, is not to be approached,
chiefly on the N.W. end, called Maranilla reef: the tide of flood setsun in-
draught on this end of the bank, from every point of the compaas, whick ren-
ders it dangerous to the last degree.

Directions for sailing by Crooked* Inland to Exuma and
Providence. > '
YOU must steer from the north end of Crooked inland towards Rum key,
Vrhich is foul and rocky all round, your course thither being N.N.VV, about 14
leagues ; from thence you go towards Long inland, which lies west, a little
southerly, 9 leagues ; a W.N. W. course carries you clear of it. Long inland
is about 18 leagues in length, lying N.W. by N. and S.E. byS. its N.W. end
in lat. 23* 30'. About 6 leagues from the N.W. end of Long island to the
keys before the Salt pond at Exuma, the course is W. J S. ilistance 8 leagues.
£xuma is a great salt island, from which lie an innumerable number of islands
and keys, extending for 35 leagues to the N.W. and N.W. by N. If you are
bound from Exuma to Providence, you mtist make your way for the Ships
channel passage, which is between Little island and Eltutiera. Your cours«!
from £j;«»ja thither is N.N.W. distance about 22 leagues ; and so you may
procee<l to the north-westward along the island Elucthera; but tiie nearest cut
is over the Gnat Bahama bank from Exuma, To go this way, your course is
W.N.W. or rather N.W. by W. about 35 leagues, which will bring you tothe
edge of the bank. From hence you may pass over the bank in 2 or 2^, and
in some holes 3 fiithoms watsr, the distance over tlie bank beinj; about JO

Directions for vessels bound from the eastward, over the
Great Eahama 13auk, into the Gulf of IMexico.
FIRST take care to make the Hole in the uall, af the south end of Ahaco,
and from thence steer W. by S. 13 or 14 leagues, which course and distance
will carry you to Stirrup's key, the northernmost of the Berry islands: then
run S.W. till you can but just sec it off the deck of a vessel of about lOO tons
burthen, you will then be in 8 or }) fathom's water, and about 7 leagues from
it. Vext haul up S.W. by S. and keep ..o nearer to the southernmost of the
Br; - islands than 3 fathoms, which wii je when you have run on that course
12 or 13 leagues, you will then begin to come on the middle of the bank,
where you may depend on finding no where less than 15 feet.
But on coming on to the bank, and in going ott" from it, you will find a
strong tide, which sets right on, or right oft"; it is easily observed to go aU)ng
by the ground, the water being clear and transparent ; on the middle of tlnj
bank you will find little or no tide. If the wind hangs on too far to the south-
ward, it will follow that you shall be forced to -the westward ; in that case,
make no delay in coming to an anchor, lest you fall in with the bars that lie
ti; the south and westward of the Bernini islumls, and extend near J leagues.

YOUR course from the west end of Jawahn, or Krgril, by south, to
Santantillit, or S:in/i'.s islands, is \\ . by S. a little scutherly, distance e,()

S.W. by S. and not more southerly, especially Iroin ihc liist of November to

General and particular directions for Port Omoa.
IF from B/dck rirer, on the Moskito sfwir, you are bound to Port Omoa,
pr San FcrnnvJo dc Omoa, as it is called by the Spaniards, you mustsailtothe
southward of the isles Bonaca and Rattan, passing between Rattan and the
llogs islands ; and without a thorough knowledge of these parts, you are not
to pass southward of the Hog's islands, on account of the Salmedina reefs.
You steer from Black river for Bonaca W.N.W. till you come to this island,
which IS 23 leagues distant from it. Then you st<-er W.S.W. in order to pass
between Ratlan and the Hog's islands, which course is Continued till you ^et
the island Utila in sight ; then you are to steer \V. or W. by N. as you choose.
To pass to the southward of LWa, you must take great care not to come
nearer than 2 leagues to this island, on the N.W. orS. side.s, unless you are
very well acquainted with it. When you have made the west point oi Utila,
then you sad tor Point Sal, which lies 10 or I',' Ic.i.rues W.S.W. but ynu must
steer W.S.W. ^S. to prevent being driven awav by ihe N.W. current,
which would carry you on Glover's n-pf ; with a' W.S.W. ^ S. course you
make the land to the southward of Poini Sal, and then come to the N.VV. of

Frr)ni lionaca, which is a large, high island, run to the west end of Rattan
the ucKt and largest isle on that range ; there are thrte small islands between
these two, viz. tlan'mialt,!, Moralla, and Ihkna. Rattan is 9 leagues long
with n<any hummocks on it.
From the west end of Rattan to the Southern four ki'i/s, the course is N. W.
4 W. distance 18 or 1<) leagues; and from Bui ira to tlic aaid lour key:', W.
by N. J N. distance 37 leagu?s. This last is sufest from the Spaniards, who
often harbour in Rattan ; "but your departure from Rattan is the safest, and
inore eligible to avoid running on the reefs, as the distance is so short ; this
is a matter of prudence depending on the caj'tain. Observe to time well
your departure from either place, to avoid dau.;iT in the night, when it can-
not be discovered, as well as running aground where there is no possibility
of saving a ship. The Southern four hri/s ought to be made in the forenoon
to get to anchor before night at Kci/ IMel, or farther in at Water hey, as the
time will allow. The SouthernJ'our keys arc on the south end of a reef ex-
tending 7 leagues in length to the northward ; on the north end thereof lie
two keys, one long with tall trees, and the other a small spot with bushes on
if, within a mile to the northward of the large one.
The Southern four keys in lat. 17<» 12' N. The easternmost on the edge of
the reef, is pretty round and high, with a large ;andy bay on the east sider
the wetternmost is a long key with tall trees; the northernmost is the next
smallest, when you come from the eastward, an opening shews itself in the
middle ; the southernmost key, which they call Hat hey, is the smallest, with
bushes on it, and is near the south point of the reef; from this to the east-
ernmost key, the reef runs in tlie form of a half moon. When you make
the sandy bay, on the last, or sooner, you will sec all the rest, for they arc
not far asinuler.
From the south end of this reef you course is west to Key Bokel, distance
7 leagues; this is a small spot, with low bushes on it, lying close to Turncff
reef, si low intersected island, which is 10 or 12 leagues long, N.N.E. and
S.S.W.
Glover's ree/has its N.E. end due south, 6 or 7 leagues distant from the
Southern/our keys, and is reckoned with reason a very dangerous place. This
reef, which n named by the Spaniards the Long reef, is at least 7 leagues
long, in a direction S.W. by W. and N.E. by E. No keys arc to be seen on
it, except a sniiill spot or two, towards its north end : but on the south end
there lies a range of 5 keys at least, from east to west.
From the S.^V. point of the Southern four keys to Key Bokel, the course is
\y. J N. There is good anchoring at tliis hitter key to "the nortiiward, and
within 1 or 2 miles of it ; when you run out you deepen your water, but two
cables length in is far enough on the bank in -i and 5 fiilhonis water. N.N'.
W. winds make the roughest riding here ; it is a rcndeiivous for Spanianls,
therefore a good watch at night is necessary, for fear of the saiall cralt
which lurk utider the land. , .

until you get over a bank whiJi runs (p.iite aersss ; tlic best water yoii can
carry through is IH, 13.^, and M leet water; there is no dan.jcr should you
ground on it, andil is oidy a north wind that should make yen une.i';y.
from tills bank to the mouth of iUicr KaWr, the cour>e is N.W. northerly ;
you will have on your starboard hand the range of Druzi-ned kti/s, on which

is but 7 feet wafer on some parts of this shoal ; the l>e3t pli e for anchoring
is right off the river's mouth. Loth for the facility of coming .m board, and
going on shore, and for having the advanti.geof the craits which comedown

IF you come out from C(//*fCo^^rff, and arc IkmiikI to Hie westwanl,
you iniiy stroke tlio cape as cJose on board as you please, as it is steep to ;
there is a small sandy bay on the west side ol the cape, and close to ir, where-

remarkable. 'I'iic anchoring; is <^jod, as we have already observed, but no

Chu,sp,i bail N.i:. by K. 8 orj) miles. It is about aslar^eas the hull of a first
rale, and almost as white as Beitcliy head ; you liave all clean ground about
ir, but un tho west end there is a small ledge of a quarter of a mile Iruiu the
lock.
llavinij rounded Cape Cixhra you will see a low point to the south-west-
ward, about 7 miles ; it is the first you come to ; you may run dnwn to it
within half a nnle of the shore ; then a line sandy bay opens to the wc-twanl,
into which you may haul round the point, and giving it a birth of a quarter
of a mile. This bay is called by the Spaniards Cliuspa bmj, but th(> English
have named it Jasper hai/ ; you may anchor there within less than half a mile
of the shore, in 7 fathoms water.
When you have run into 7 fathoms water, you will brinj; the cast part of
the bay, that is the point nmnd which you came, to bear N.K. and in the
S.K, Corner of the bay you will get fine fresh water, and good wood. There
is always a little swell in the bay ; when y"" are at aixdior you will perceive
a small point about a mile to the westward of you, ami close rounil th;il
))oint there is a small town ; but the landmi; here is very bad, on acciMint of
the great surf on the beach. The land to the westward trends to tiie W. by S.
and is very hii^h, both inland and near the coast ; vl;/ litlle is to be had here
but wood and water.
From Jasper tmi/ to Cape Blanco, the course is W. by S. 13 leaq-ics, and to
La Giiai/ra VV. by S. lO lea ^ues. La Giiajra is in a small bay, al)out 3 or 4
leagues to the windward, or to the eastward of Cape Blanco. There is a pro-
iligious high mountain aback of La Giitii/ra, which is almost as high as that
ot 'I'cneriffe ; it is called the mountain of Caraccas. Cape Bl-inco is low
land, so that wiien you are 4 leagues off you cannot possibly see it on account
of that mountain. Being off Cape Blanco, within a league or two of tin
land, you may see the fort, batteries, and town of La Giiai/ra, which appea;
ot a whitish grey, while the soil about the town looks red. When you ait
within 4 or 5 miles from CVi^c Blancj, it looks like a town under the high
land, and has a grey and ragged appearuncc ; the shore is clear and bold all
along. Cape Blanco lies in lat. 10", 50' uud Cape Codera in lat. 10-. 57".

ol wood and fresh water. There is a town \ or 5 miles from this buy, and
many planters, and other people live in the neii;hbouriiood, who have ubund-
anceof cocoa, and money likewise. This bay, which lies from Cintmoa S. t.by V..
by compass, (there is half a point of variai'ion here) is seldom without one or
more Dutch vessels trading for cocoa; the Inml is very hi.'h. on b.nh sides

to the eastward, the best of which is that of Turiuno, but it is not so good'as
Cuta bay, either for a ship to lie in, or for traile.
From Cape Blanco to Puerto Cabcllo, the course is W. i S. or W. by S. dis-

On this coast you find very little lee current, till you come without the stream
fit Point Coro, but at most times you have fine weather, and variable winds.

Description of the Islands of Bonair and Cura.ssoa.
IF you come from the main, and arc bound to Cttrassoa, I would advisi
you to endeavour to make the island of Uonair, and then to run down to Cur"
assoa : bat be sure not to come within 4 or 5 miles of the south side of thtf
island, by reason of tlie rocks and foul ground, unless you are acquninteiU
There is a road on the west side of the island, which lies within a small islot,
but it is a little difficult for strangers. Bonair has a governor : some few })eo-
plc from CurasioaMvc there, and a great many Indhinsj there is likewise ser-
eral waieiiouses, where (he Curassoa sloops load the cocoa, hides, tobacco, &c.
that arc fetched from the Main; these goods are lodged here until they have s
goofl market for them at Curassoa. The island of Bonair yields nothing bu«
wood and salt, and has no fresh water ; the west part is pretty high, and very
rugged uneven land. From the west end of it you may sec the island of
Curassoa, in fair weather, which bears W.S.W. distant 15 leagues.
When bound to Curassoa you are to run down so as to come along the
louth side of it; if in the night, come not nearer the island than 3 leagues
on account of Little Curassoa ; it is a low sandy island, very little above wa-
ter, one fourth of a mile in length, with nothing but prickly bushes on it, so
that you cannot possibly see it in the night ; it lies S.K. from the e-ast point
o( Curassoa, <listant 2 leagues, and is htcep to on every side.
Curassoa is a low island ; the east side having no high land, except a moun-
tain in the N.E. part, and another cf srcat height, which makes like atat>l«

part bears W.N.W. from I.ittlc Ommoa, distant 7 "r -S iniles. Yoii must.
j^ivu tlie east poi?it of Curassoa a hirtii of half a mile, and tluii you may keep
asni?h tiu; island as you l)lea^e, fur it issteej) to all along tlie soutli side.
The haven or liarhour, called also Amsterdam, or St. A-iin, is on the S.W,
jiart of the island ; there iu a whiu; buoy on a ledge that lies on the star-
boai<l, or south side of the hiirhoiu's mouth; that buoy you must leave on
your starboard hand in going in, and haul clos^e round it into the harbour,
wliosc cntiaure is very narrow, and steep to on both sides. You must n(.t let
go an unolmr isi goiii:;in, but you are to have a hawser in your boat, ready
to run to the south shore, or to some of thes-hips ; for although the harbour's
ciitiauce is nut broader than the length of a 70 gun ship, yet there are 6'0
liiihonis water ; but if the wind is large it is better to run up above the town,
and above the.shi|ipin;r, then you may let go your anchor; it is there t.onio-
lliiiii; broader, aiKl clear of crafr.
The town bes on the south side, and is called Amsterdum ; but there are ft
grc:it many buildings on the north side, as well as all over the island, -which
is pDjiulous. This is a veiy good harbour to heave down in, as there is iieithcv
sea iior swell. All manner of provisions are prodigiovisly scarce and dear
here ; for the island itself produces very little of any kind of necessaries.
On the N. W. and N. sides, the island is foul a little way oil", so that it is bt^t
to be on the south side, for this is all bold and clear. There is a fine cove
about 4 or 5 miles to the southward of the harbour, called by the Dutch
Spanish Cove, but in the draughts Suint Barber, and a large f«rt stands at the
entrance of it.
The N. end of Ctnassoa lies in 12o 25' lat. N. and long. 69° 7' W. of Lon-
don, and the west end of Doiiair, inlutitude 12° 27' north. If you are bound
to windward, I would advise you to beat up the S. side of the island,
and work up under the west end of Boiiair before you reach over, for you
have at most times a counter-cunx'iit, which runs to windward, and the west
eiid of Boiiair is dear and bold to ; there is a smaM sandy bay on the W.N.W.
part of the island, where you may anchor within J a mile of the shore ; but
don't come within two leagues of the south side of the island, for there low
sail ly keys lie a lonjj w«y off, as well as some rocky rccft.

Description of Potto Bcllo Harbour.
AT the entrance of the harbour there arc two small islands, which lie
S. by E..j E. and N. by W. % W, from each other ; between them you sail, or
warp in, and have 15 or I6' fathoms across, all soit ground. Due west from
the northernmost island, anil about 3 cables length from if, lies a bunch of
rocks, called Tlte Salmetli/uis ; you have 20 fathoms, soft ground, between
these rocks and the island. You may go in and out on either side of them,
they being steep to all round, and aUvays shewing themselves.
The north side of fh' harbour is steep to ; on the south side there is a reef
along it, about a cable's length from the shore. .
You may anchor «Hy where, taking t-are sot to go too high up in the cod
<if the bay. '■ «. i^ ,, .
Wood and water are in great plenty here ; ydo may either land your casks
and roll them about 10 or 12 yards, or (ill your boat with snmllcask?. Cat-
tle may be purchased, though not cheap nor good: vcgctablcstherc are none
to be procured, but you have plenty of fish and turtle in the seasou.
To the northward and southward of this harbour there are very good bays,
with many fresh water rivulets, where any fleet may ride and fill in safety ;
there is no danger but what is disccrnable.

,1; Remarks for sailing into the River Demarari.
AT the eiitriince of the Jiiifr Dtmarari, an E.N.E. and W.S.W. ipoon
flakes lull sea, and the water at tlie liighest spring tide docs not rite more
than 8 or 9 Icot perpendicular. From each point of the river runs off a flat
"piiid bank, at least ihrte leagues into the sea, on many parts of which there
is not nioio than frura 8 to 12 feet water, at high water. Between these
banks lie the onti jnce and bar of the river, on which at the highest spring
tides, there is not more than 20 feet water, but all very soft ground. If the
wind hliould cast out, be very cautious, and not stand too near the west bank,
ps tii(» flood lide sets on it in an oblique direction, and the ground in some
parts is hard sand ; but you may borrow on the east bank at pleasure, be-
ing ull solt mud, and you receive no hurt by touching the ground.
About 6 miles up on the west side of the river, stands a remarkable lofty
tree by itself, the blanches of which appear to be withered, and 3 or 4 miles
above that, there is a tuft of trees or bush which is very remarkable.
In running into the river, the leading mark is to keep the withered tree on
the westernniost part of the tuft or bush, which will carry you in the best
water, and about mid-channel, steering at the same time S. by \V. by com-
j)u»h. 'I'hc breadth of the channel going in, is about 2 miles ; shoalinggrad-
Uiilly on each side. The best anchoring ground is within the cast point, in
4 lathoiDs at low water, soft mud ; keep the eastern shore on board, the wes-
tern side being flat and shoal. It is necessary to weigh the anchors once
every ten days, or they will bury so much as to be supposed to be lost.
N. H. The thwart mark to know when you are without the bar, is when
Point Spiiit comes open to the northward oiCorrobana Point, and you have
4 fathoms water. . ,, . y.
Observations and Remarks on the Coast of Guayana.

Id ihiMvtistward through the Gulf of Paria. The moment you come on the
putward edge of the ground, you will perceive the colour of the water change
lo a ij>:ht green, and will have from 35 to 45 fathoms. If in that depth you
i.li( uld he so far to the southward as 7' 25' or 7" 30' N. lat. you may steer
in .S.'»V. and make the land ; but if more to the northward, keep your wind
tiil you attain that lat. You will have very gradual soundings quite to the
f linre, but very shallow ; you will be in 9 fathoms when you Hrst get sight of
the land about Diwcniri, but you may run in without fear in 4 fathoms, be-
ing attentive lo your lead. As it is the general opinion that there arc many
«ne.\pl(;re(l sandbanks on this coast, a groat attention tp the lead, and qual-
ity of the ground will be necessary, as by that only you will be apprized of
the danger, for on most parts of this coast, to the eastward of the river Ori-
>'r;^o, the bottom is very soft mud ; if on a sudden you find hard sandy

,i^ain find faoft ground as beforp.
The making of the land all the way from Oriiwko, as far to the eastward
as L'ai)cnnc, is very low and woody, and therefore appears in all parts so much

tlcpendcncc, therefore, is in a true altitude ; if that, by reason of thick weath-
er, cannot be obtained, it will be advisable to anchor in about six fathoms,
which you may do with great safety, having good ground, and in general
moderate gales and smooth water.
The making of ilic lund about Demarari, is the most remarkable of any
part of the coast ; the woods in many places being burnt down and cleared
lor cultivation, makes the land apjK'ar in liiisc gaps, where the houses, &c.
are plainly to be seen, and if there any ships lying .it the lower part of the
river, their mast heads may be plainly seen above the trees, at some dis-
tance at seii. ■
If bound into Dancrnri, you must run to the westward till you bring the
entrance of the river S.S.W. or S. by W. and either lay to or anchor for the
tide, in 4 fathoms water ; but be very cautious not to be hauled further to
the westward than these bearings, for the Hood runs very strong into the riv-
er Isequibo, at the mouth of which, and at a great distance from the land,
lie many very dangerous sand banks, on some of whicii there is not more than
9 or 10 feet water, and the flood tide sets right on them.
On many parts of this coast, ])articularly otf Point Spirit, to the eastward
o( Demrrdri, the flood tide sets right on the shore, and the ebb right oft" t<t
the N.E. It will be advisable, when calm, and near the land, to anchor in
time.
In the month of Deccmljcr there is at times, particularly in shoal water,
on the coming in of the flood, a great sea, called the lio1!.,s, and by the In-
dians Paroroca ; it is often fatal to vessels at anchor:

Instructionsfor sailing along the Coasts, and into the
Harbours o/* Jamaica, Port Royal, and its Channels.
BEING of! Movant Point, or the east end of /am«ifa, and bound to Port
Jloijal, you aie to steer down 3 or 4 miles otf shore, until past Morant bay ;
as the coast from the east end to the southward of Rocky Point, is lined with
a leef that stretches 2 miles at sea, and part of which reef generally breaks.
From Rocky Point to the westward, the coast continues rocky, about one
mile from the shore, as far as Morant bay ; then it is clear till you come t6
the white cliffs, called the White Horses, of which there are some rocks about
lialf a mile from the shore.
Fioin the Jl'/iite Horses to YaUah's Point, the distance is about 13 miles ;
in running it down, when the former bears north, and Yallafi's Point west,
you will have soundings, and frequently see the bottom in 7 J, 8, 9, and 10
lathoms ; and as you approach YaUah's Point, the water deepens till you
lo!>e soundings.
From YaUah's Point to Coxo Bay Point, there is no danger ; this P«>int is
low, but bold to, as well as all the coast to the westward as far as Phnnb
Point. The course between the two Points is \V. by N. 8 miles ; but if you
arc 3 or 4 miles from Com Bay Point, you must steer more to the northward.
Plumb Point is the south east point of the Pallissadoes ; you may run in
boUllylbr it, and approach its extremity within half a cal-ie's leiiirth, having
noihing to fear till you are abreast of it, and oft' the Middle Ground. Be-
tween this and Plumb Point is the entrance of the Eastern Channel into Port
Royal. When you brin^ JiocA Joc/N. by F,. or N. N. K. you will come

and when it is o])en of Salt Pan hill, you are to t!ie southward of li.e Mid-
dir Ground, which, as we heretofore observed, is here called the Western
Ground.
The Middle Ground is a large coral hank, which often breaks with only S
feet on it in the middle; the north and west sides are almost steep. On it»
N. \V. edge lies a buoy, whose marks are Port lioi/al tower, on tlie 4th eiii-
bra/ure of Port C/iarla, counting from the westwuiil, and Ilelh/iirc hummock
on llie Hag slati'of Port Small.
When you have opened Helhhire hummock with Fort Small, you steer out
with the Leading notch, a little to the eastward of the magazine, which car-
ries you between the Drunken Man's Key, the 'I'urtle heads, and the South
Knoul, or to avoid these heads, you are to haul up so as to bring the church
Pleeple to the easternmost part of tlie fort, and continue to keep thai iiiink
until the South Key is brought on with Yulluh'n point. Then you may haul to
tlie H^^lwal(l, if the wind will permit. Hut if you should not keep up the
leading mark, and the church steeple should come near the corner of the fort,
you must then come to, or tack and stand in. The mark, when ashore c.s

On the east side ot the south channel, the Little Portugiiete is the south-
CI nmost shoal; it has from 2i to ;»6 feet water, and in ^uueial a great swell.
The New c/iannel lies to the eastward of the Sout/i ihnimel, and almost par-
allel to it, and was surveyed, buoyed, and first used hy order o( Admiral
Ajflcck, while he commanded on the Jamaica station ; it is certainly prefera-
ble, on many accounts, to the South channtl ; it has smooth water till you
conic to Houth key, with good onchoring ground, easy riding, and a facility
of going to sea to the southward with the sea breeze, as tar as S.K. &c.
'•"he leading mark to enter this channel is a remarkable flat hummock on
the mountain to the N.N.W. of I'urt Royal ; ^^licn ihc middle of this hum-
mock is in a direct line with the IFhite house, standing to the N.VV. of Fort
Augusta, it leads you to the westward of the harbour and hunt Knotult, as
well as between the cast edge of the So«/4tAa/j«f/,M/fW/e Ground, and the
vie>,t end ui Rackham'n kty a/ioal. Vou steer with these marks on till a re-
markable round hillock to the westward of Stony hill barracks, comca open
to the eastward of Gun key.
Alter you have opened this hummock, you steer away to the southward,
keepingit open till a saddle in the mountains to the N. W. comes in a line
with I'ort Smalt. Then you bring the same hummock on the centre or west
edge of Gun key, which marks carry you to the westward of the shoals on
the east side of the channel, and about 4 mile to the eastward of the Great
Portuguese, and as soon as I'urtland appears like an island, you may then
haul to the eastward, being clear of the reef and shoals of South key.
The shoals in this channel are —
I. The South channel Middle ground, (on the east side of which there is a
IntoyJ and the small shoals to the southward of this ground.
II. The Great bay nhoal, which has iti feet least water, and a floating
beacon in IS feet.
III. The Four fathom knoul, a very small spot, with no less than 24 feet
water on it, and deep water all round. Ships of 20 feet draught may sail
over it, as the water is smooth.
Between Great l>ay shoal and South key breakers, there are two shoals ; tho
northernmost about ^ mile S. by \V. from the former is steep, and a small
part of it appears just above the surface of the water. This shoal almost al-
¥fays shews itself by the ri|)pling on it. About half way between this and
the breakers lies the second shoal, having only 16" feet water.
The South key breakers have a buoy upon them. The marks for the west
edge of this reef is the Leading notch open a little to the eastward of ihe Cap-
stan house, and a saddle mountain to the north-west, and Fort Small in one.
Half a mile to the southward of thtse breakers is tlie Eighteen feet rief
temarkable by the great swell upon it. To the westward of that reef lies the

All this coast is sale, and may b:- ranged very near : thc-e is anr hora^c,
even tor latfte !.liips, at Iia>e hag, and at I'ort I'ininit, but it «iui;ht to beus'ed
only in case of necessity. In liie winter months there are j^ales of wind al-
most every niij;lit,comiiii; from the S.K. some of which are violent ; and with-
out you have business on this part of the coast, it is best to stand olV '2 or 3
leagues, so that you may, with any wind, keep to the westward.
'I'lie bay of Go;;«//c«Tf.v, as the French pronounce it, is very larpe and fine,
the; ancliora;{e exceihilt, and the entrance very easy. You ranL',e nlonmhc
ihore half aleaj^ne, or '2 miles distance, steeriii'i; a lew <ies;r;:es to the noiili-
ward of east, and let «n your anchor in 6 or 10 fathoms,oo/e. You will liml
from till- entiHiue under Go«i'///enc;'o/;//, which is low, and one mile east
of Point I'inrc, 15 and I'i fathoms ; the water decreases as \ou f;<'t into
the bay. When you arc a good half league from the land, and 2 miles from
the Dclniraitlaire, (or landiii;:; place) you will have 6 fathoms. After you
have doubled iionahinc point, leaviiicr it on your larboard hand, you willsec
I'url Custries on u point of land whicli you nmst not appn-ach too near, as
there is a key that lies about a mile south of the point.
From Point III Pierre to C(i/:e St. Marc is 3 lea<;ues. They bear fr( m cjich
other S. by \V. and N. by F,. true norlli, which is likewise thedirection of the
coast.
One lens;uo to the norlh of 5/. Marc hay, is h low point, which appt ars at a
distance like an island ; it forms a cape that runs out a mile westward of the
bearin;>s above given, and is called I.a point da ninrne ait iHablc, or the Di'vil'x
hummock point ; it shews the mouth of the Hncr Artilioiiilv, whicli tails into
the s-a 3 miles northward of the point. 'I'here is an anchorai^e the while
lenj^lh of the coast for small vessels only.
Cape St. Marc is high, and of a round form ; you descry at a zreatdista icc
the hillock which forms it, and stands only one mile from the sea side. ;

Pn tin- north side of tlio island is the hai; of Ffirt, whore there is a very
poiul aneliorage ; hut you nuist he exreedinj:ly well acfiuaintcd before ■■ u
can attempt it, as you will in many places liud only C and 3 fathoms, if you
are not in the eiianni I.
'flic northerninost of these islands, Caye tic V f.au, or Water Lrii, is easily
known l>y a laine tuft of large trees, one of which is considerably higher than
the rest ; tjiis island k bold.
At some <listaiicelroiii it, on the north ^ide, there is a good anchorage,
frtim ^b to 30 lathoms.
Frmn the Cni/c.s, tl.e coast runs a league I'.N.K. as far as the Tapimit or
liUMiiiioek (>( Ciivaillim, which forms the entrance ol the hay of that name j
halfway between is the Coniptiin/'s isltiiiil, where you anchor if you do not
choopc to 3,0 into the harbour of the Cai/cs.
You must not go too close to the S.C part of the Tapionn of CavaiUon, as
there is a shonl with only ft feet water on it, called La Maufvii, the S/iccp : it
liesS.I'j. from the east point of the Tajiioii, about J a mile; and there is 8
fatlioms betv een it and the shore.
Cfliaj7/on iffv is pi'ctty lipacious, though the anchorage is of very little ex-
tent ; the coast on the west is too sleep, and llie bottom full of rocks, ^'oii
must come to an ancher on the east side of the bay, opju'^itc a cousi covered
with mangroves; approach it wiliunit fear, the bottom bi'ing clear; ami yon
have 5 fathoms close to the shore. In this bay you are sheltered Irom the
sea breezes, by the cast point ol an i-^l.iiid, which leaves a, |iassa;je between lliu
juaiiaroves into tin- lloitv dix j /innuiuls.

there is a good c;!rcening place, aivl you may anchor : i;y where in tlie buy.

leaves ;i p.assage of { ui a league between il and the coast ; ii dues not extend

of L'aj'c lionitc, t!io same distance, is the shoal called ha Moition, and there
il a ^'().)d pas>a-ie betsfeen it anil the shore, or the Olil fort : the d'-oih is less
considei'able, however, tiian on the west side of the l>a}'. You may ^o be-
tween Ornn<ie Ley and that shore, in deep water, and then you will meet willi
a si.iall island, called /{«/ /<//, between which and Orange /iry ytn\ nuiy pass,
or hi'twcen liie shore and botii ; but thoi-e passages are not lar^e. 'I'hereare
shoals i;lf tlie shore, whicji makes it uccc.isary to keep closer to the two island*
than the shore.
O'lc lea^jjue and a half distant E. by N. of Orange Iry is Moiistiqiic key ;
this island is clear of shoals except very close; jon may pass without it or
witliin; on the north side tif it, \ of a league from the shore, you will have
1(» fathoms. If you »ail within shore, you must not keep too dose to tlie St.
Dotnuigo coast, as there is an island between Cape Honitr and Cape St. George.
Vou will (ind no other shoal till you meet the Trompeu\e, which lies 4 miles
K.N. E. of CV/;/c 6V. OVoriTc, off which is a shoal called f.a Tei[.'iifusr, and
Tunnin;.;out fromitabouta mile. Norlhof Mou)ili(jiie Lfy\s Cape St. George,

by a white hununo«k, rather steep, and seen at some distance; there in a deep
passage l)etween it and Mouxtiqiic key, by which you go into the Great Lay
uf .•itiuiii. South of Cayc a Uamiers lies a shoal, which extends half a league,
and has only 3 fathims in the middle. East of the same key is a small
inland, called V.lnguille, (the Eel) and to the N.E. is another called La
Reflate ; the three form an equilateral triangle, whose sides are naarly half
a league.
To the E.N.E. | of a league from Caye a Ramiers, is the great key of A-
gtiin, which is an island of a tolerable height, upon whicli aretwo white hum-
mocks very remarkable. This island runs to the E. by X. being ^ of a league
long, and { league broad, and bold on the south siile. ^'ou must take care
of the white shoals of the Kel, which is south of the west point, so that it
does not leave a passage between Crt/yc a iiaw/Vw, and the Great key of A-
quin, for vessels that draw more than 12 or 15 feet water.
East of the Isle of Aqyin is a white insulated rock, at a short \ league dis-

Cnpr Bai/ciiiute is kn;)wn bj- the wliitc hummocks which aie at its cMrcmi-
ty, and forms the entrance of a larue bay of tin- same name, that faces the
S.K. It IS Mipposed to take this name, liai/ciicttc, ('i.e. Clear bnt/) from liio
great depth of water found all over it, and its beiii" entirely clear of shiials ;
you are here very little, if at all sheltert'd, and musr anchor on t!;c !uM;!isi,:c
of it, pretty clo:>c to the shore. 'I'liii bay tri nches in a league to the iioitii-

which is well in the bay ; in all this extent no !;round is to be fc.und ; the
other entrance is Cnnr Muriclinux. When you are belvn en thesi- two points,
ami nearly in the middle of tiie bay, you will >ee at the buft(im of it a reet,
which you must double to the N.N.\V. leaving it on the starboard side, you

crwi'jc you will have a !;reat depth of water. 'I'hu anchorapjc for kiri^e sliios-
is ciist of a while hummock, in the bottom of the bay, and west of tl'.e jireat

The coast in all this spate forms several little coves, where small vesieis may

^liijis ou^ht never to venture within any part of the white grounds, where
you will often fall from li fathoms to 10 feet ; if by accident they liml thcm-

they came in, raiii-iiij; alonu; the grouiuis. . i .
Siiould you l)v any circumstances be forced to go from Cape Francois Xhro
the p;i .•■a'j;e betweeu'the Square llamlkercliicf and the Silver keys, you must, at
the depaHurc, make your course good N.K. by K. and E.N.li. If the winds
suifer you to steer that coui-sc, you would pass in the mid channel ; but it
vol arc forced to turn, and you would not get sight of the St. Domingo shore,
lifter you have once got into the longitude of 70" 15' W. from London, you
must not pass tlie latitude of '20O 25', without frequently heaving the lead.
If you come as far as 20° 35,' with.mt getting ground, you have nothing to
fear from the Sihir keys, and must only look out for the Square Itandkcrc/nef,
which is not dangerous on the south, the bottom giving you notice m 10 and
15 fathoms. Vou must continue to get to the eastward, and when you come
in the latitude of '21«> 20', you are entirely out of the passage.
The Sih-er kei/ is 1 1 leagues long, E. and VV, and 7* leagues broad, N.aiid S,
in the greatest dimension. The westernmost part lies N. and S. from Old
Cape Francois. i i. c i- j
The Square Handkerchief and the Silver keys bear from each other S.L. and
N. \V. The chanucl between the two is very safe, and 1 4 leagues in breadth.
You experience on the edges of the shoals weak currents, which generally
follow the directions of those edges. On the Square Handkerchief they ares
scarcely felt ; on the S.E. part of the Silver keys you find them setting to the
W. and N.W. but a short league from the ground, their effect is not pcrceiv-
lii general, you ought not to mind, in your reckoning, the weak currents
which exist in" these passages, they being no where to be feared.
Observations on the navigation round the Cionave Islands}
and in the Southern Channel.
THE most dangerous reefs arc those which seem to be Joined with the
land of the l.inle Gonave, and arc stretched above a league in thcoffing ; how-
ever, they lie at about a mile from the shofti, and you might pass, man urg-
ent case, between them and the Little Gonave, even with a ship ; but the at-
IcmiU would be imprudent, if you are not forced to do it, and have not the
wind well set in, as the currents are very strong and irregular, though they
run more "enerally to N.N.E. in this part, and between the two Goiiaives.
Small vessels, drawing 8 or 9 feet water, may find a good anchorage to th«
west of the Little Gonave ; to come to it the south channel is Jar preterabla
to that of the north.
The N.E. point of the Gonave, called Galet point, is low and bordered with
a reef which stretches along the cast coast, coming from the south, and ex-
tends a little more than U mile opposite the place called Troual'Eau, or
Water hole ; within is a white ground, where you find Irom 4 to 6 iathoms
To sail near this reef, which every vessel can do, that draws 9 or 10 feet,
you must, in coming from the east, take a channel which is opposite a fisher-
man's hut. There are several other chauuels, which are easily known by the

Instructions for blasters of A'csscls.
I'i
\ II K master of a vpsjcI is the legal a^^rnt or ro|irospntntivo of liisowiicn,
anil Mihjit't to till- siiiuo ru!tsot" lioncsty nn(l<;co<l tiiitli with f)tlu'r a;.MMits. In
cases, which arc not iiicluilod witliiu his usuiil written orders, and which di-
])end upon hi.ijndnincnt alone, he is to act as il the jdopoity cntrastcd to Inni
were his own; and an error in judgment oiii'Jit not tosiif'joct iiiiu to tlie ill
opinion ol his employers if he has conducted with integrity; especially il his
t'luployers hiul pr«>i>cril)ed to him in writing no certain line of duty.
It is almost the invariable practice, however, of owners, to turnish their
masters with written orders or instructions, emhracing the piincipal part of
iheir duty during tiie voyage. It is « xiremely hazardous lor the master tii
depart from these instructions, as he will be responsible for the least damage
which shall accrue from a wanton aiid unnecessary deviation. lie should
consult them, in every case of doubt or .lii'iiculty, and follow them, as he does
his compass, with the most exact precision. Many permanent duties, how-
ever, are connected with the situation of a master, which he must always per-
form, but which are never specified in his orders. These are to depend on
his own judgment and lidelity, and are, in all cases, of the utmost impor-
tance to the intcre!:ts of his owner;.
He should never allempt a breach of embargoes, blockades, or other re-
straints, being, in most cases, personally responsible, if any damage should
ensue.
Pas'cngers on board a vessel are entitled to all the accommodations, con-
Teiiiences and attentions from the master, which tl.o nature of tlie vessel and
voyage, and the teinis of their agreement will admit ; and tiie master is liiibli;
to an action sliouhi the passengers be deprived of t!;e:n, or not conveyed tj
the poit of his destination according t.) his contract.
.V inafcter may detain the baggage or goods of passengers until he is paid the
passag<' moiity.
I'nnecessaiy deviations ficnn tl.o direct course of the voyage ought never to
be attempted. Not only the policies on both vessel aiid cargo are by this
mean vacated, but the projicrty subjected to other risks which often prove
fatal. L'navoi.Uble necessity alone will justify a deviation. Touching at
piNCcs to which ho is not bound, although he may be obliged to pass by them
in his course, is u deviation. A permission, in the policy, to touch and stay,
will not authorize the master to break bulk and Irade.
On entering ports, or navigating tiiflicult passages, vvline the cu^toln oftiic
trade has stationed pilots, it is the duty of the inaster to take one on board, and
by no means to proceed without; and not to discluirge his pdot except at the
accustomed places. A neglect of diis part of his duty destroys liie policies on
vessel and cargo, and renders both master and owners liable to tlie assured.
Port laws and regulations should be carefully observed. In almo^t every
poit there are certain laws for the goverimient <d' the shipping, vvhicli cannot
le uansgrensed vvitii im|um!ty. A master should, therelore, iid'orni himself of
these on his lirst arrival, and be scrupulous in conforiuing himself to them
during his stay. A\\ the damage which ensues in consequence of a breach of
them, will evenlually lall on him.
Port dues and charges are payable by the cafitain ; nnd ids vessel, cables,
ar.chcrs, &c. niay be distrainj;d, not only till these, but even tdl his own per-
sonal debts arc paid,

vessel or cargo, iho master is jusliiied in putting l.im in ir.i, .. Ilepea'e 1 di--
oliedience or neglect, is a sutlicient cause for the nia-ter to di:ihari;i' .i sea-
man ; hut this disobedience and neglect sht^uld be obstiuaie, and coiilmued,
or often repeated, to justify such an exeitioii of aulhonly in tlie nnrser.
A seaman may likewise he discharged when inlected wiih any c.ntiigious
disti niper.
When a vessel is driven by stress of weather into a port, ( (I.e.- tlian t!;ar t >
which she is bound, and the caiijo, if of a perssliable nature, iie inJMied, iImj
master, notwithstanding sudi injury, will be perfectly secure in pr; ceciing <-!i
his voyage with the liist opportunity. Hut Iheintcietts oi l,is (.win-isinul shi;)-
pors will, for the most |)nrt, in such cases, induce him immediatt 'y to sell such
part of his cargo as is likely to perish. If, however the m;is.i'r -!,. iild risk

his cargo, either Irom the oiliceis of the port, or fnin llie most iT.>pectal-,!«
commercial characters in the place, by their allida\its under (r.iili ; aii-l
should likewi-e eater his protect beiorea notary, and see that bis acccuntsarc
V) fair and regular as to r.ianitiest his own integrity; and even after doing all
this, he should he reasonably sure of the acquiescence of the owners, shippers,
and I'reightcrs, before he runs the hazard of a sale,
A protest should be made by the master in every case of accident either to
vessel or cargo, at the lirst port he shall put into. Kvery occurrence during
the voyage, which i^ay operate to the detriment or disadvaiitagc of any of
liie concerned in the voyage, should be protested again.-t.
The laws of the United States are particularly seveie in the prohibition of
the slave trade. By an act of Congress it is provided, that no cinzcn or citi-
izensof the United States, foreigneis or any other person coming into or le-
siding within the same, shall, for himself, or any other person, either as mas-
ter, factor, or owner, build, fit, etpiip, loud, or otherwisfe prcpure, any vessel,

Hegulation of the Fisheries.
BY the treaty of peace with Cfreat Britain, the people of the Uni;v,\' "' !'■ -i
enjoy, unmolested, the right to take lish on theGrand Bank. and onall the >th ,r
banks of Newfoundland ; also, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, and at all ottier
places in the sea, where the inhabitants of both countries used at any time
heretofore, to fish; and the inhabitants of the United States have liberty to
take fish of cvry kind on such part of the coast of Newfoundland as British
fishermen shall use (but not to dry or cure the same on that island) and also
on the coasts, bays and creeks of all other of his Britannic INIajesty's tloniin-
ions in America; and the American fishermen have liljerty to dry and cure
tish in any ot .he unsettled bays, harbours and creeks of Nova Scotia, Magda-
len islands, and Labrador, whilst unsettled ; but as soiui as settled, it shall
not be lawful for American fishermen r.> dry or cure fish, at such settlement,
without a |)revious a::reemcnt for that purpose with the inhabitants, propri-
etors or possessors of the ground.
Pursuant to this article of the treaty with Great Britain, it is necessary, in
order to dry and cure their fish in the British s( ttlements of Nova Scotia, the
Magdalen islands, and Labrador, tiiat American fishermen enter into an a-
grcement with the inhabitants of such settlements. Such agreements, for the
security of the fisiiermen, shuuld always be reduced to writing, and it is
strongly recommended to those who are employed in that trade to secure tlijs
privilege, when they wish it, in such a manner as not afterv.'ards to involves
tiiemselves in dilliculties and embarrasincnts, which may deprive ihem of all
the profits and emoluments of their voyage.
No ship or vessel of twenty toiw or upwards, employed in those fisheries,
shall be entitled to the allowance therein granted, unless the skipper or mas-
ter thereof shall, before he proceeds on any iisl.ing voyage, make an agreement,
in writing or in print, with every fishernum employed therein, excepting only
any apprentice or serva«it of himself or owner ; a;id in addition to such terms
of shipment as may be agreed on, rl.all, in such agiremeiit, espress w (.other
the same is to continue tor oij- voyage, oi lor the li>liiiig seusa!i,and hhal! al-

riners arc svHjject to in the merchants' service, and may in the like manner,
and upon the like complaint und proof, be apprehended and detiined; and all
costs of process and commitment, if paid by the master or owner, shall be de-
ducted out of the share of fish, or proceeds of any fishing' voyage to whicli
such deserter had' or shall become entitled. And any fisherman having cn-
ga«;rd himself as aforesaid, who shall, during such fishing v»)y -g?, refuse or
nei;lect Itis proper duty on board the fishing vessel, being thereto ordered or
required hy the master or skipper thereof, or shall otherwise resist his junir
ttoinmands, to the hindrance or detriment of such Voyage, beside being an-
swerable for all damages arising thereby, shall forfeit to the use of the owner
of such vessel, his ^ha^e of the allowance, which shall be paid upon such
voyage as is herein granted.
Where an agreement or contract shall be so made and signed.'for a fishing
voyage oi' for the fishing ser^son, and any fish w-hich may have been caught on
board such vessel duriu;^ the same, shall be delivered to the owner or to his
agent, fur cure, and sliail be sold by said owner or .igent, such vessel shall for
tlie term of six months after such sale, be liable and answerable for the skip-
per's and every other tishennan's share of such fish, and may be proceetled
against in \.\\c same form, and to the same' effect as any other vessel is by law
liable, and may be proceeded against for tha wages of seamen or marines in
the merchants' service;. Aiul upon such process for the value of a share or
shares of the pmceeds offish delivered and sold as aforesaid, it shall be in-
<?umbent on the owner or his agent, to produce a just account of the sales and
division of'-juch fish according to such agreement or contract, otherwise the
said \e8soi '^liall be answerable upon sUch process for what- may be the highest
value of tiie share or shares demanded. Wut in all cases, the owner of such
vessel or his agent, appearing to answer to such process, may offer thereupon
his account of general supplies made for such fishing voyage, and of other sup-
plies theivl'or made, to either of the demandaiils, and shall beatiowed to pro-'
duce <'vidence thereof in answer to their demands respectively, and judgment
shall be rendered upon such process, for the respective baljane«$,whidi upon
such an enquiry sliall appear^ Provided always, That when process shall be
fssued against any vessel liable as aforesaid, if the owner thereof or his agent,
will give l)oad to each fisherman, in whose favor such process shall be insti-
tnted, with sufiicient security, to the satisfaction of two justices of the pcacen
one of whom shall be named by such owner or agent, and the other by the
fishernum or fishermen pursuing such process ; or if either party shall refuse,
then tlic justice first appointed shall name his associate, with condition to an--
swer and pay whatever sum shall be recovered by him or them on such pro-
ce there shall be an immediate discharge of such vessel : Proiidid, 'i'hat

Relief of sick and disabled Seamen.
The laws of the United States liave not been remiss in providing for the
relief of that portion of citizens, whose profession is so useful to a commer-
cial nation, and so incident to the calamities of climate and Weatiier. Tim
mariners of this country are largely indebted to the humane and Ijenevolent
spirit of its jurisprudencf, for interposing in their behalf the authority oi the
nation, and reserving, though from the produce of their own labours, a luiid
which Mirll all'urd them support and comiort in sickness or disticss.
Many hospitals and lazaieltoes are tbunded in diflerent parts of the Uiii-
^A States, for the support aud relief of poor, sick, aud disabled seamyu ;

seamen, and the time thoy have severally been em|)l(>ycd on board such ship
pr vessel, during the continuance of the license which Has so expired, and pay
to such collector twenty cents per month for every month such seamen hava
been severally employed, as aforesaid; which sum the said master is hereby
tiuthorizcd to retain out ot the wa^es of such seamen. And if any such mus-
ter shall render a false account of the number of men, and the length of time
they have severally bpen employed, as is herein require^, he shall forfeit and
pay one hundred dollars.
It shall be the duty of the several collectors to make a i|uartcrly return of
the sums collected by thei^i respectively, by virtue of this act, to the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury; and the President of the United States is Iieie!)y authoriz-
ed, out of the same, to provide for the temporary relief and maintenance of
sick or disabled seamen, in the hospitals or other proper institutions now es-
tablished in the several ports of the Unitpd States, or in ports where no such

sident is hereby authorized to purchase or receive cessions or donations of
