At the request of many of the Masters of Ships, Mr. Lambly has subjoined the following remarks on the Island of ANTICOS- Tr, and they may be depended on ; as they were all made on the spot, by himself, when he was ordered by Sir James H. Craig, to establish the Posts for the provisions and place thp Direction Boards, in 1809. ANTICOSTI. TWO Leagues S. E. from the West end of the Island lays Cape Henry, the West side of Grand Bay, Cape Eagle forms the Eistside of the Bay — they are N. W. and S. E. of each other, 3 miles distance. This Bay lays North and South, and is'i m."lef» andan half deep, with good amhoragr, in from 24 to four n I i'l u 46 4 fathoms water. In running down from the tVest end of ih^ Island come no nearer than 10 fathoms — the breakers will be seen on the shoal which lays from the Beach, a quarter of a mile ; and when down to Cape Ileury, haul into 6 fathoms, towards a long spitt of sand which lays ofllS. E. from the Cape. It is very regu- lar 5 and 6 fathoms a good birth from it — run ailong this spitt and round the S. E. end of it 4 fathoms, then haul up in the Bay, in four fathoms at low water, and come to an anchor. You will then be one mile and an half from the houses, which stand on the North side of the Bay. The Bay is about one mile and an half across here. Small vessels may ride further in, with shelter from S. W. and S. S. W. winds, but the Bay in 4 fathoms is all open from S. S. W. to S. E. winds. A Mr. Duchencau lives at this Houses and remains all the year; and Government puts every year a quantity of Provisions in his charge in case of Shipwreck. And aS ships have been wrecked and the Captains hate not been aware of this, they have left their ships^ at the hazard of their lives, and gone to Gaspe — Whereas had they known it, they would have been accommo- dated with lodgings and provisions. Government pays Duche^ neau £50 yearly, for the purpose of taking care of the Provi- sions, &c. &c. From Cape ^enryJ;o the S. W. point the bearing is S. 50" 00 E. distance 13 leagues— and from the S. W. point to the South point. S. 70" 00 E. distant 1 9 leagues. Two leagues to thtf Westward of the South point lays Jupiter River, (called Shallop Entrance, in the chart).
