Enragee_, is the Bay _L'Argent_, wherein you may Anchor in 30 or 40 Fathom Water, shelter'd from all Winds. [Sidenote: Harbour Millee.] The Entrance of Harbour _Millee_ is to the Eastward of the East Point of _L'Argent_; before this Harbour and the Bay _L'Argent_ is a remarkable Rock, that at a Distance appears like a Shallop under Sail. _Harbour Millee_ branches into two Arms, one laying into the N.E. and the other towards the E. at the upper Part of both is good Anchorage, and various Sorts of Wood. Between this Harbour and _Point Enragee_, are several Bar Harbours in small Bays, wherein are sandy Beaches, off which Vessels may Anchor, but they must be very near the Shore to be in a moderate Depth of Water. [Sidenote: Cape Millee.] _Cape Millee_ lies N.N.E. half E. 1 League from the afore-mentioned _Shallop Rock_, and near 3 Leagues from the Head of _Fortune Bay_ is a high reddish barren Rock. The wedth of _Fortune Bay_ at _Cape Millee_ doth not exceed half a League, but immediately below it, it is twice as wide, by which this Cape may be easily known; above this Cape the Land on both Sides is high, with steep craggy Cliffs. The Head of the Bay is terminated by a low Beach, behind which is a large Pond or Bar Harbour, into which Boats can go at quarter Flood. In this and all the Bar Harbours between it and _Grand Bank_, are convenient Places for building of Stages, and good Beaches for drying of Fish, for great Numbers of Boats. [Sidenote: Grand L'Pierre Harbour] _Grand L'Pierre_ is a good Harbour, situated on the North-side of the Bay, half a League from the Head, you can see no Entrance until you are abreast of it; there is not the least Danger in going in, and you may Anchor in any Depth from 8 to 4 Fathom, shelter'd from all Winds. [Sidenote: English Harbour.] _English Harbour_ lies a little to the Westward of _Grand L'Pierre_, it is very small, and fit only for Boats and small Vessels. [Sidenote: Little Bay de Leau.] To the Westward of _English Harbour_ is a small Bay called _Little Bay de Leau_, wherein are some small Islands, behind which is shelter for small Vessels. [Sidenote: New Harbour] This Harbour is situated opposite _Cape Millee_, to the Westward of _Bay de Leau_; it is but a small Inlet, yet hath good Anchorage on the West-side in 9, 8, 7, and 5 Fathom Water, sheltered from the S.W.
