[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.

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_.
