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
