he S.W. Side of the Islands in the Bottom of the Bay. The North Arm is a very snug Place for small Vessels; at the Head of this Arm is a Salmon River. [Sidenote: Corben Bay.] A little to the Southward of the Bay of _Cinq_ Isles is _Corben Bay_, wherein is good Anchorage for any Ships in 22 or 24 Fathom Water. [Sidenote: Bell & Dog Islands.] South East about two Miles from _Lally Cove Head_, are two Islands about a Mile from each other, the North Eastermost is called _Bell Island_, and the other _Dog Island_, they are of a tolerable Height, and bold too all round. Between _Dogg Island_, and _Lord and Lady Island_, which lies off the S. Point of _Corben Bay_, is a sunken Rock, (somewhat nearer to _Lord and Lady_, than _Dogg-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. [Sidenote: Bande de La'rier Bay and Harbour.] _Bande de La'rier_ Bay lies on the West Point of _Bell Bay_, and NNW. half W. near 3 Leagues from Point _Enragee_, it may be known by a very high Mountain over the Bay, which rises almost perpendicular from the Sea, called _Iron-Head_. _Chappel Island_, which forms the East-side of the Bay is high Land also. The Harbour lies on the West-side of the Bay, just within the Point, formed by a narrow low Beach, it is very small, but a snug Place, and conveniently situated for the _Cod Fishery_. There is a tolerable good Anchorage along the West Side of the Bay from the Harbour up towards _Iron Head_ in 18 and 20 Fathom Water. [Sidenote: Bande de La'rier Bank.] The Bank of _Bande de La'rier_, whereon is not less than 7 Fathom, lies with the Beach of _Bande de Lourier_ Harbour, just open of the West Point of the Bay, and _Boxy Point_ on with the North End of St. _Jaques_ Island. [Sidenote: St. Jaques.] Two Miles to the W. ward of _Bande de La'rier_, is the Harbour of St. _Jaques_, which may be easily known by the Island before it. This Island is high at each End, and low in the Middle, and at a Distance looks like two Islands, it lies N. 30d. E. 8 and a half Leagues from the Cape of _Grand Bank_, and N. E. by E. 7 Leagues from the East-end of _Brunet_. The Passage into the Harbour is on the West Side of the Island; there is not the least Danger in going in, or in any Part of the Harbour; you may anchor in any Depth from 17 t
