" it has been tlie object of the editor, in each aiiccewive edition of tliis work, to obtain all the inlormRtion necefsary to render it a correct and complete VILO'l FOR Tin: WHOLt A.MERICAN COAST, inciudinj; the \VKST INDIA ISLANDS. The very great demand for every impressipn, since its first publication, has scarcely atlbrded him opportuuity tu render the succeeding as copiouH as the subject wilt admit. Ot the many improvements which the science of navipalion has been coo- tinualiy recriving iu the lapse of many centuries, since the invention of the compass, perhaps there is no one, which in its ordinary opjeration on maritime affairs, embraces a greater t <'ect, which was embarrassect with more than the ordinary difficulties with which all new works are involved, the Editor, actuated by a priuciple of com- mercial benefit, and assisted by the most correct and experienced Pilots in the United States, hazarded the publication of that work, under auspices by no means favorable to its eventual establishment, as a book of reference and di- ^(jctioos to American mariners.

We meut1outlii« from correct nnthority, and chaUeiigc invest i(;ntioit. In atldilion to the certificates which have been selected from more than one hundred, as testimonials oflhe merit of the AMEUICVN COAST PILOT, we subjoin the followin|r, which will at one view prove the ubt«olute necesbity this work should be used by every man who navijtntes the American coast. Th«r first is copied from the Ncwbutyport Herald, oHJa/i. 13, I GO t, ^^Itcbted to by the captain. " It must be a gratifyin<; circiimstawc to tlie rummerctal world, that elements of uavifl;alioii are found so accurate and complete, that the marhicr can navigatr his vesiel into the most dUnicult Imrbours on the AmericaD coast, with no other pilot than what he can at all times carry in his pocket. It is probably an im- portant fact, which speaks in tlattcriii^ terms, that Capt. FaMen, of JCcnnebunk, ■who run into this harbour in diiUresi:, on Sunday cveii'iig, owes the precervaiiou of his vessel, ami the lives of his crew, to tlie instructions given in BLlJKT'i* AMliRlCAN COAST PILOT." The followinp Is taken from the Ifewhtrryporl Herald of June 21, 1308. ' " A sloop belonging to Dartmouth, from Ktniub'ck, with lumber, in the vi0> lent blow of Saturday, upset 1 6 leagues from out bar, her deck load was washed oil', when she righted, and came in by Ihc afsi«tance of ELUIVT'S COAST I'lLOT, nearly full of water; the inasler's name is Gideon Hickctson, who had enly three men on board ; they lashed themselves on deck, and iii this situation came in." With such pretensions to public patronage, the editor is not reluctant in mci*' ing the public scrutiny. The merits of his work are grounded oil the best sci- ence in the country, and every exertion of long and laborioui) indui^try has been employed in executing its pages with the strictest accuracy aiul fidelity, that were due toils high promise of uscfuluesg and emolument. ^ EDMUND M.

On the N. "W. side <^f the great island, within the 2 small islands, is very good anchorage in 10, 2(\ !ui(''2-l fathoms witer shtlicred from all winds. The passage into this place to tin west- ward of the great island from the sea is very dangerous, by reason there an- fev cral sunken rocks iu Mie passage, and slallow water; but there is a very good passage in:o it from llie bay, passiii" to the uorlhwaiil of the 2 .-mall islands, be- tween them and the west shore, in sailing in or out of the bay you must riot approiicli too near the south point of the Great island, because of s.ome sunken Focks which lie a quarter of u mile from the shore. A little to the westward of Bonne bay, between it and Facheux, Is Mti ket:; cove, a small inlet, wherein is fioMi 30 to 47 fathoms of water. The entrance of the bays of Facheux and Dragon, lies west 4 miles from nonue bay, and N".

Facheux', which is the easternmost branch, lies in north 2 leagues, and is | of a mile broad in the narrowest part, whicli is at the entrance, witli deep water in most parts of it. One mile up the hay on the w est side is a cove, wherein is anchorage in 10 fathoms, with gradual soundings into the shore, and a clear bottom ; and fiirther up the bay.ou the same side, are 2 other coves, wherein is anchorage, and plenty of wood and water. Dragon bay lies in W. N. W.

The safest passage in, is to the westward of the islands between them and the islaud called Little Ireland, which lies off the east point of La Poll bay. The hay of La IVil, which is large and spacious, with several commodious harbours, lies W. 10° N. 10 leagues from the southernmost of the Burgcos ; W. i»y N. 14 leagues from the isles of Ramea, and near 12 leagues to the eastward.of Cape Ray. It may be known by the high land of Grand Bruit, which is only 5 miles to the eastward of il ; and likewise by the land on the east side of the bay which rises in remarkable high craggy hills.

The lind between Red Island, and theeutrance into Port-a-Porl, is of a mod- erate heiglit, or rather low, with sandy beaches, except one remarkable high hil- lock (called Rounil-hea«l,) close to the shore, and is 2 leagues to the N. £. of Picd Island ; but up in the country over Port-a-Port, arc lugh lauds, and if you are -1 lcau;ue8 at sea, you will not discern the Long Point of land, which forms the bay of Povt-a-Port: This bay is capacious being near 5 miles broad at the entrance, and lies into the southward 4 leagues, with good anchorage in most jwi Is of it. The west point of (he bay (called l^ng Point,) is a low rocky point, fidni which stretches out a reef of rocks N^. E. nearly 1 mile; S. E. by S. 4 mile^ f;om Long i'oint, and half a league fronUhe east shore, lies Fox Island, whic'' is tni.ill, but tolerable hisfli.; fiom the north end of this island stretches out a shf al, near 2 miles to the noithwani, calle leaguer., but coming out ol Forta-Port, you mustlirrt steer north 1 or 1| league, in orilev to clear the liOng Ledge, then IS.

The Bay of Islands may be known by the many islands in IIk mouth of it, pnrticidarly the three named Ouernsey I land, Tweed Island, and I'earl Island, which are nearly of equal hei^^ht with the lanls on the main; if you are bound for York or Lark HarhoiMs which lay on t!ie S \V. > idc of litis bay, and coming from the southward, steer in between Guernsey Islmd and the sontli head, either of which you may approiu li as near as you please; but with S. S.

From Guernsey Islaivl to Tortoise head, (which is the north pojntof York har- bour, and the S. E. point of I^ark harbour) tire courc is S. by E. .1 miles; Lark harbour lies in S. W. war 2 miles, and is one third of a mile broad in the riar- r«wcst part, which is at the entrance. To siil into it with large ships keep the larboard shore on board, but with small vessels there is no danger, you may an- chor with a low point on the starboard side bearing west, I\ '.V. or north, and ride secure from all winds. if From Tortoise head into York harbour, iI»r coui-se is S. M^ near 1 league; he. hveen the said head and Governor's Island, whic'i lies before the harbour, is good , room to turn, and anchorage all the way, but regard must be had to a shoal which spits offfroni a low beach point (called Sword point) on the west eud of Governor's island ; to avoid which, keep a good part of Seal Island open to the northward of Governor's island, u:itil you are above this point ; in turning up the harbour, stand i;ot nearer the next point on the i.'land (off which it is flat) thrsi to Iwing Tortoise head touching Sword point, the best anchorages is to keep Tor. toise head open to the sad point, and anchor in 10 fathoms along the sandy teach on the main : farther up within the island is loo deep water for anchoring all the way thrcush the passage within the island : This harbour is very conve- nient to wood and water at.

N. W. \ W. 5^- leagues from the west end of Belle-isle, and N. W. J N. 8i leagues from the island of Quirpon. In crossing the streight from Quirpon to Chateaux bay, it is adviseable to fail in with the coast a Utile to the westward of the bay, unless ;l)e wind be eastwardly, and clear weather!, as there is not the least danger to the westward, hut to the eastward are several low rocky Islands. This bay may be hnowa by two very remarkable rocky hills on Castle and Heiiley islands, m hicli Inlands |;iy in the month of the bay; those hills are flat at lop, and the steep clifts rojind them have something the resemblance of castle walls ; but as these liill^ are not distinguishable at a distance, because of the his^h land on the main with- in them, die best marks for knowing tiitr bay, when in the offing, is as follows i all the laud to tha westward of it U high, of a uniforio even figure, terminatirg -J "^ • itliiir*-, liiit lliirt' ii* no i^lHMilt to ihi' utli' liilU, imi tlicHtnihiiitnl siilc; ami toi l:ir«y Ih^iikI, (uiiidi point is a mimoili l)l;i(-k lork. iuis!if((.> into IVniph: hay, in onicr to Kail up into I'ilt'i* Iwr- Imiii', hani to tlic wfHtward, until yon liiins: llif outer point of Cnxtlf; iNlarirl a litllr o,irn with Whale iitlaiid; that mark will had yoii up lii'o Pitl'H hHiljoitr, vliirli is lar;:^ anil »|ia|(;. is from 20 to M) fathoms, and between that aud ('liateanK bay from '15 to 30 fathoms ; within a mile of llio coast of Laliradonr, to the west- ward of Cliatiaux Imy, ynu will have 25, 30, and ;ti> fathoms; fiirtlicv up llit!

Ca|)e Chapeaurouge lias already been described : From it to Sauker head, (wliich is a high hill, iu the shape of a sugar loaf,) the coiirHe is E. N. E. distant 3 miles; between them lie the harbours of Great and Little St. Laurence, which have also been described. From Sauker head to Small point, (which is the lowest land hereabouts,) the course is N. 63" K. 2 miles: And from Small point to Corbin head, (which is a tcry high bluiT head,) is N. E. 2^ miles: There are many high head lands be- tween them, which form several coves, the bottom of which may be seen in sailing along shore. The coast is clear of rocks, and 30 fathoms close to the shore, but no shelter for any thing. From Cofbin head to Shalloway point, tlie course is ]N'. N. E. I £. 4^ miles. Between them, and nearly on the same courfc, lie 2, ▼cry high round islands, called Corbin and Little Burin. Corbin island has very much the ap[)earance of Chapeaurouge, when coming in with the land, and seen through the fog. These islanils are high, and are little more than a cable's length from shore. From Corbin head to Cat island, the course is N. E. 4 mites nearly; thb h a Mgh round island near the south end of Great Burin island. About a mile to the northward of Corbin head, in a bight, lies Corbin har-- bour, which is very good for small vessels. The best anchorage is in the N. arm, at about a | of a mile Avithin the entrance, opposite a cove on the starboard side. A ^ of a mile to the eastward of this harbour, and two cable's length from the shore, is a sunken rock, on which the sea breaks in bad weather, and has not depth sufiicieot at low water for a boat to go over it. Vessels bound for this harbour must avoid a shoal which lies a ^ of a mile to the east of the south point of the entrance to the harbour, on which is only 2 fathoms water.

W. entrance into the harbour is E. N. E. and whi.n past the points that form the entrance, the course is north up the harbour, which is hct< ter than a |: of a mile wide, and li mile long up to Ship's cove, where it is half a mile wide every way. This is the best anchorage. There are only two dangers wiljiin Bniiii harbour that do not appear above water ; the first is a small ahoal on the stHrl-oard side, about half way up 'he har- bour, directly off a remarkable hole iu the cliff on the starboard side, going up, colled tlie Oven ; atid about half a cable's length from the shore; there is also on (lie other side, directly opposite, a remarkable gully in the land, from the top to tiie bottom. The long mark to keep to the westward of this rock is. not to bring Little Burin island to the eastward of Neck point. The other slioal, on which there is 8 fathoms, is very small, aud lies about a cable's length S. S. W. from Harbour point. The east passage into Burin harbour is not very safe to sail in without a com- manding gale, and that between the N. N. E. and S. E. To sail into this pas-' sage, and coming from the westward, come not withiu 2 miles of the shore on the east side of Burin island, (because of several clusters of rocks.) till you bring the north point of Pardy's island open to the northw:*rd of Iron island; then sail right in for Iron islftnd, leaving it on your larboard side ^oing in ; then steer for the said point of Pardy's island, and that will avoid all danger.

About a cable's len;u;th from Audearn island, to the southward of the harbour, is a sunken rock ; the mark for avoiding it in conung from the south Tvard, is, not \o haul in for the harbour till you opt-n a remarkable green poitil on the south side of the harbour. The bent anclioragc is on the north shore, just within a small i>land. There is a spit of rjckri stretches just off the Grccit point on tlic south shore, which are cover<:d at hia;li water.

REMARKS. From Cape Chat it is best never to stand so far northward as Mid ChanneU particularly when abreast of Manirouagaa t^hoal, where arc some very stroug and irregular eddies that will set you on tliat shoal. Several sail of men of uar have been cau>:hl in them in a fresh breeze of wind, when not a single ship could answer its helm : some of them drove on board each other, and it was not with^ out much diiFiculty that very great mischief was prevented by their running fuul uf each other, and the danger of driving on the shoals of Manicouagan.

There is a mark to know when you are coming otj llic cd|;e of this shoal, wjiicli in, observe lo tlie eastward, on the ^oulh main land, a momMaio, whicb apiiears to have three |)oinlri, of an lequitl tli»tai)cc; when this mountnio is brought on the cast point of Canoe islnml, j ou arc coming ou the edge of this sIhmI ; there U likewise a little rocky l»laiid off Burnt cape, which, when you are ou tlie end of this shoal, will be aUiut 2 ship's length open of Cape Oroi-Be. When you are on the slio tl, tlie isluud will be nearly in a MDfi with Cape Ujrosse, and lite Tlirec-polnted mountain with Canoe i&Iaiul. To make use of the three mountains uloresaid, Xn coming U\> pa*t Burnt capo, when you have brought the west end of the westcr-iniosl mountnin on with tlie east cn«l of Rot island, you may steer over with them in one line, until you open St. John's point, as aforesaid. Nor is tlieic any daoKer in bringing the eatit eiid of the westernmost iiiountaia on with the east end of Rot island, but it should not be brought to the westward of it until vpu have open St. John's poiut. Vou inlifht by this last mark go over near Rot island, and go up to the southward of the middle shoal, with St. John's Church iust open of the p«»int ; in this channel is deep water, but it u narrow ; it is called the Old Traverse, and the other is called the New Traverse. It is not proper for the Old Traverse to be made use of, «« the passage between the middle shoal and the sand off Burnt cape ledge is narrow, mkI you will be so much th&longer going across the tide, which may carry you out of the way if you are not very attentive to the marks. The middle shoal reaches up the river until you have got Bellchaje church a good deal open of the west end of Rot island, but as a mark of this kiad is very deceiving, it reaches until you have brought the eaft end of the middle mountain on the west end of Rot island, and then you will be past it, and have the channel open from uear the island of Orleans, to very uear the wcat end of Rot island, and may anchor between Orleans and Madame irf- anda, or proceed up the rivor, at pleasure. If it should be thick weather, and Tou would pass the Traverse, and the mountains cannot be seen, nor the ends of the shoals btwyed, it migh« be done by keeping one or two houses open of the east end of Rot island, or the third house may be brought in a line with it, but should .pot he opened; ami these marks may be obBcrtcd until you have 0}>etied S<. iQbn'i point, as aforesaid.
