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 to 4 Fathom.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 and Shallops.
Little Bay Barrysway. To the Westward of Bay de Leau, 3 Miles NNW. from St. John's Head is Little Bay Barrysway, on the West-side of which is good Anchorage for large Ships in 7, 8, or 10 Fathom Water; here is good Fishing Conveniencies, with plenty of Wood and Water.
