o 4 Fathom.

[Sidenote: Blue Pinion.]

Two Miles to the Westward of St. _Jaques_, is the Harbour of _Blue
Pinion_, it is not near so large, or so safe as that of St. _Jaques_;
near to the Head of the Harbour on the West Side is a Shoal, whereon
is two Fathom at Low Water.

[Sidenote: English Cove]

A little to the Westward of _Blue Pinion_, is _English Cove_, which is
very small, wherein small Vessels and Boats can Anchor; before it, and
very near the Shore is a small Island.

[Sidenote: Boxy point.]

_Boxy_ Point lies SW. by W. a quarter W. two Leagues and a half from
St. _Jaques_ Island, NNE. near 7 Leagues from the Cape of _Grand
Bank_, and NE. half E. 13 Miles from the East End of _Brunet_ Island;
it is of a moderate Height, the most advanced to the Southward of any
Land on the Coast, and may be distinguished at a considerable
Distance; there are some sunken Rocks off it, but they lay very near
the Shore, and are no ways dangerous.

[Sidenote: Boxy Harbour.]

NNE. three Miles from _Boxey_ Point is the Harbour of _Boxy_; to sail
into it you must keep _Boxy_ Point just open of _Fryer's_ Head (a
black Head a little within the Point) in this Direction you will keep
in the middle of the Channel between the Shoals which lay off from
each Point of the Harbour, where the Stages are; as soon as you are
within these Shoals, which cover you from the Sea Winds, you may
anchor in 5 and 4 Fathom Water, fine sandy Ground.

[Sidenote: St. John's Island, Head, Bay and Harbour.]

West 1 Mile from _Boxy_ Point is the Island of St. _John_'s, which is
of a tollerable Height, and steep too, except at the N.E. Point, where
is a Shoal a little way off.

N.W. half a League from St. _John_'s _Island_ is St. _John_'s _Head_,
which is a high, steep, craggy Point. Between St _John_'s _Head_ and
_Boxy Point_, is St. _John_'s _Bay_, in the Bottom of which is St.
_John_'s _Harbour_, wherein is only Water for Boats.

[Sidenote: Gull and Shag.]

On the North-side of St. _John_'s _Head_ are two rocky Islands, called
the _Gull_ and _Shag_; at the West-end of these Islands are some
sunken Rocks.

[Sidenote: Great Bay de Leau.]

One League and a half to the Northward of St. _John_'s _Head_ is the
_Great Bay de Leau_, wherein is good Anchorage in various depths of
Water, sheltered from all Winds. The best Passage in is on the
East-side of the Island, laying in the Mouth of it; nothing can enter
in on the West-side but small Vessels a
