NOTICES 
 
 ON THE 
 
 RIVER SAGUENAY. 
 
 IN THE 
 
 ST. LAWRENCE, 
 
 AND THE 
 
 SAW MILLS, AND ANCHORAGES THEREIN. 
 
 TO MASTERS OF MERCHANTMEN. 
 Gentlemen, 
 
 Some years ago when Messrs. William Price and Co. 
 opened their Mill Establishments RtMetis and Rimouski, we 
 published for the information of our friends, Ship Owners, 
 and Masters ; instructions for entering the River St. Law- 
 rence, and making the Anchorages for those Establishments. 
 
 Having lately formed other Mill Establishments, in the 
 ■ River Sagiienay, and the entrance and navigation of that 
 Grand River being comparatively unknown ; we have, by 
 favor of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, been 
 allowed to correct our own sketch of that River, by the very 
 able survey of Captain Bayfield, wherciii we have accurately 
 laid down the various Mill Sites, and Anchoraj^es. 
 
We do not however wish this sketch of ours, to supersede 
 the valuable charts of Captain Bayfield, which are published 
 (by authority,) and sold at Messrs. Bates, in the Poultry. 
 Of tlie series, Nos. 2 and 3, are particularly desirable for this 
 navigation; asw3llashis general instructions for the ter 
 St. Lawrence, which no master sailing to that River should 
 be without. 
 
 On arrivincr in the St. Lawrence, refer to sheet No. 2, and 
 to paces 38 and 39, in Captain Bayfield's book of 
 instruc'tions. Get a sight of Bic, to take a departure for 
 Point de Bon Desirs, or any part of the north shore, above 
 Mille Vaches. 
 
 Should the vessel make Bic, late in the day or at night, 
 with the wind fresh from the Eastward, it may be well to 
 shorten sail, and to stand off and on by the lead on the 
 south shore, until daylight. 
 
 Mille Vaches shoals are dangerous, but the shore above, 
 is bold The ebb tide is weak in shore,-flood stronger. The 
 P-round is good for anchoring all along between Mdle 
 Vaches, and Moulin Baude. The shelter under the high 
 lands, can be judged of, according to the winds. 
 
 Make for the anchorage of " Moulin Baude,'' which is 
 12 miles above Point de Bon Desirs, and 3 miles below the 
 Saguenay. A buoy surmounted by a small fiag will be 
 placed there, anchor in 8 to 12 fathoms, but with caution,as the 
 water diminishes quickly. Holding ground, is clay and very 
 good, sheltered from winds, S. W. round by North, to N. E.- 
 other winds, as well as the extremes of these, are fair for 
 entering the Sayucnay. 
 
 The Pilots Station will be at V Ance a VEau inside the 
 Saguenay, a stones throw from Tadousac. A look out will 
 
be kept for ships when they are expected, but masters are re- 
 qunsted to fire two or three guns as they arrive at Moulin 
 Baude and hoist a jack at the main :— and to prevent the 
 chance of delay, had better send to L'Ance a VEau, either 
 by landing an officer on the beach :— to walk up; or by a 
 boat along shore, to make known their arrival. 
 
 Ships need not bring up at Moulin Baude, if they have a 
 commanding breeze from any of the points, N. E. round by 
 South, to S. S. W., plenty of day light to spare, and clear 
 weather; but may proceed at once to enter the Saguenay, 
 firing a gun occasionally, and hoisting the signal for a pilot. 
 Nothing is to be feared with attention to Bayfield's sheet 
 No. 3 and the leading marks, which are good. 
 
 The chief leading mark, is '' Mount Boule," a high round 
 topped mountain, 8 miles or so up the Saguenay, projecting 
 out. Get and keep a full view of the " Boule," open from 
 the points, and you may run boldly in, there is no danger. 
 
 The entrance into the Saguenay, is about a mile wide, 
 between two shoals lying oh' either point of entrance, which 
 must be well minded, as there are only 2^ fathoms over them 
 at low water, but by attending to the leading mark, and 
 observing the situation of them on Bayfield's Chart, they 
 are easily kept clear of 
 
 Point aux Vaches, the N. E. point of entrance is to be 
 particularly guarded against, as the ebb is very strong 
 there, and sets directly on the point. Point Alouette or 
 Lark Point, shoals out nearly 7 miles, and large holders will 
 be found at low water, it must be carefully minded, on 
 arriving with Easterly winds. 
 
 It is important to notice here, that the ebb tide from the 
 Saguenay, is very strong, and sets over to Red Island Reef 
 which must be particularly thought of in calms and thick 
 weather.

 A wind from the S. VV. on the flood is fair for entering the 
 Saguenayy but unless the wind is more Southerly, better 
 wait at the anchorage oV Moulin Baude," for the Pilot. 
 
 If the wind should be fair and commanding, the Pilot will 
 at once proceed with the ship to one of the Mills up the 
 Saguenay, viz. 
 
 St. Jean's Bnij, 
 
 27 
 
 miles up, 
 
 or 
 
 L'Ance a Peltier 
 
 .30 
 
 y> » 
 
 or 
 
 Grand Bay,

 ft )) 
 
 or 
 
 There are neither rocks nor shoals in the way, and an- 
 chorag-es every few miles ; the only shoal to be thought of 
 is one running out in the west point of the entrance in the 
 (xrand Bay, to keep clear of this make for Cajie a VEste, 
 and in entering the Bay keep rather towards the eastern shore. 
 
 A vessel can beat into the bay with a N. W. wind, The 
 Ebb in the Saguenay, though strong below St. Jean's Bay or 
 I'Eterrite, is weak above that : do not push on too long but 
 make for an anchorage. When you come to anchor, send a 
 rope ashore and make well fast. 
 
 If the wind should not be fair for proceeding up to the 
 Mills above, whoi the vessel enters the Saguenay, the Pilot 
 -,vill moor at L'Ance a VEau. There are rings in the rocks 
 to make fast head and stern, dead water, and blue clay for 
 the anchor. 
 
 Off L'Ance a VEau there is a Mill and a large depot of 
 deals kept up, where the ships will commence loading at 
 once; but with the understanding, that if a fair breeze 
 should spring up before the vessel has commenced her between 
 deck loading, she shall cast off immediately, and proceed 
 up to one the mills above, which with a o-nod breeze will 
 be done in a few hours.

 By this arrangement and accommodation, great iacilitica 
 to the business, both as regards the ships and the establish- 
 ments will result ; a good depot of deals will always be 
 maintained for ships arriving with westerly winds ; and no 
 ships will be detained for Cargo. Thus the Saguenay will 
 be found by Ship Owners, to be desirable above all other 
 places of trading in the St. Lawrence, for convenience, 
 dispatch, economy, security, and the preservation of their 
 
 crews. 
 
 It is requested that the chart given herewith, may be 
 returned to us on the arrival of the vessel from her voyage. 
 
 We are. 
 
 Gentlemen, 
 
 Yours, very truly,
