[Sidenote: Taylor's Bay.]
This Bay which lies open to the Sea, lies 3 Miles to the Westward of
_Laun_ Islands; off the East Point are some sunken Rocks near a
quarter of a Mile from the Shore.
[Sidenote: Point Aux Gaul.]
A little to the Westward of _Taylors Bay_ there stretches out a low
Point of Land, called _Point Aux Gaul_; off which lies a Rock above
Water, half a Mile from the Shore, called _Gaul Shag Rock_; this Rock
lies West three quarters South 5 Leagues from _Ferryland-Head_, you
have 14 Fathom close to the off Side of it, but between it and the
Point are some sunken Rocks.
[Sidenote: Lamelin Bay.]
From _Point Aux Gaul Shag Rock_, to the Islands of _Lamelin_ is West
three quarters N. 1 League, between them is the Bay of _Lamelin_,
wherein is very shallow Water, and several small Islands, and Rocks
both above and under Water, and in the Bottom of it is a Salmon River.
[Sidenote: Lamelin Islands.]
The two Islands of _Lamelin_ (which are but low) lie off the West
Point of the Bay of the same Name, and lie West three quarters South,
6 Leagues from the Mountain of the _Red Hat_; but in steering along
Shore make a W. by S. Course good, will carry you clear of all Danger.
Small Vessels may Anchor in the Road between these Islands in 4 and 5
Fathom, tolerably well shelter'd from the Weather: Nearly in the
Middle of the Passage going in between the two Islands, is a sunken
Rock, which you avoid by keeping nearer to one Side than the other,
the most Room is on the East-side. The Eastermost Island communicates
with the Main at Low-water, by a narrow Beach, over which Boats can go
at High-water, into the N.W. Arm of _Lamelin Bay_, where they lay in
safety. Here are Conveniences for a Fishery, but little or no Wood of
any Sort. Near to the South Point of the Westermost Island is a Rock
pretty high above Water, called _Lamelin Shag Rock_; in going into the
Road between the Islands, you leave this Rock on your Larboard Side.
[Sidenote: Lamelin Ledges.]
These Ledges lay along the Shore, between _Lamelin Islands_ and _Point
May_, which is 3 Leagues, and are very Dangerous, some of them being 3
Miles from the Land. To avoid these Ledges in the Day-time, you must
not bring the Islands of _Lamelin_ to the Southward of East, until
_Point May_, or the Western extremity of the Land bear N. by E. from
you; you may then steer to the Northward with safety, between _Point
May_ and _Green Island_. In the Night, or f
