Bay of Conne. From the Isle of Riches the Bay extends itself to the Northward about five Miles, commonly called the Bay or River of Conne, then branches into two Arms, one still tending to the North, and the other to the Eastward; the Water is very shallow for some Distance from the Head of both.

Observations. All the Country about the Entrance into the Bay of Despair, and for a good Way up it is very mountainous and barren, but about the Head of the Bay it appears to be pretty level, and well cloathed with Wood.
