W. by S. 4 leagues from Cape La Hune, is the entrance of Little River, which may be known by the land near it, which forms a very conspicuous point on the coast, and tolerable high; the river is about one hundred fathoms broad at the entrance, and 10 fathoms deep, and affords good anchorage a little way up it in 10, 8 and 7 fathoms water its banks are tolerable high, and cloathed with wood.

South a quarter East 2 leagues from the entrance of Little River, N.W. half N. 2 leagues and a half from the Penguin Islands, and E.S.E. half E. 3 leagues and a half from the Isles of Ramea, lie the Little River Rocks, which are just above the water, and very small circuit, with very deep water all round them.

Four miles to the Westward of Little River, and N.E. by E. from Ramea Islands is Old Man's Bay, which lies in North 7 miles, and is a mile broad at the entrance, with deep water in most parts of it. N.E. half a a league up the bay, on the East-side, is Adam's Island, behind which is an anchoarge in 30 and 40 fathoms, but the best anchorage is at the head of the bay, in 14 and 16 fathoms.

Half a league to the Westward of Old Man's Bay, and N.E. from Ramea Isles, is Musketa Harbour, which is very snug and safe, and will hold a great number of shipping in perfect security; but it is difficult to get in or out unless the wind is favourable, by reason the entrance is so very narrow, (being but 48 fathoms broad) and the land high on both sides; the S.E. point of the entrance into the harbour is a high white rock; near a cable's length from this white rock or point, is a black rock above water, on the South-side of which is a sunken rock, whereon the sea breaks: From this black rock to the narrow entrance into the harbour is N.W. one third of a mile. In sailing in or out of the harbour give the black rock a small birth, and keep the West-side most on board, it being the safest. If you are obliged to anchor, you must be very brisk in getting a rope on shore, lest you tail upon the rocks.

The harbour of Ramea, (which is a small commodious harbour for fishing vessels,) is formed by the Islands, which lie between Great Ramea and Columbe, the entrance from the Westward (which is the broadest) lies East from Columbe, give the South point of the entrance a small birth (off which are some rocks above water) and steer N.E. into the harbour, keeping the middle of the channel, which is more than a cable's length broad in the narrowest part, and anchor in Ship Cove, which is the second on the N.W. side in 5 fathoms, clear ground, and sheltered from all winds. To sail into it from the Eastward, keep the North side of Great Ramea on board until you are at the West end thereof, then steer S.W. into the harbour, keeping in the middle of the channel, wherein is 3 fathoms at low-water, and anchor as above directed. In this harbour, and about these Islands are several convenient places for erecting of stages, and drying of fish, and seem well situated for that purpose.

Ramea Colombier.

Northwest Island is the other large island in the Ramea Group. The safe harbours are located on its southeast coast. The one to the southwest is called Muddy Harbour.

Ship Cove (47° 31'N, 57° 23'W) is the second cove on the side of Northwest Island.

The Southeast Ramea Rocks (47° 31'N, 57° 23'W) are situated 8 km southeast of the Ramea Islands.

Ramea Bank.

Richard's Head is high ground on the coast, northeast of the Burgeo Islands. Both are located xx km northwest of Ramea.

This is one of the few indications from Cook that he ventured inland.

Bear Island (47° 37'N, 57° 22'W) lies at the mouth of White Bear Bay and divides the entrance in two. It is 2 km wide.

Cul de Sac Harbour (Bear Island Harbour) is the small harbour on the southwest side of Bear Island. It is 1 km long and only 300 metres wide.

This bay [Wolf Bay] lies in N.E. half N. one league, the entrance is N.E. 2 miles from Bear Island, and 2 miles to the westward of Fox Island harbours; the E. point of the entrance is low ragged rocks, off which is a sunken rock, a quarter of a mile from the shore, whereon the sea breaks in bad weather. Near the head of the bay is tolerable good anchorage, and plenty of wood and water.

Round the west point of Wolf Bay is King's Harbour, which lies in N.E. by N. three-fourths of a mile, before the mouth of which is a cluster of little islands, one of which is pretty high. To sail into it, keep the east point of the islands on board, and steer N.W. by N. and N.N.W. for the entrance of the harbour, and anchor under the east shore in 9 fathoms water.

Bay de Loup (Wolf Bay) (47° 38'N, 57° 34'W) is 5 km long and up to 500 metres wide. The Eastern point is Bay de Loup Point. The bay trends southwest-northeast.

Kings Harbour (47° 39'N, 57° 34'W) is 1 km long and up to 500 metres wide. 1 km to the south is Buffets Island (47° 38'N, 57° 34'W) which lies across the entrance to Bay de Loup and Kings Harbour.

Boar Island (47° 36'N, 57° 35'W) is the most easterly of the Burgeo Islands.

Boar Island.

Grandys Cove.

Furber Point.

Little Boar Island.

Colombier Island (47° 34'N, 57° 38'W) is one of the southern members of the Burgeo Group.

Connoire Bay (47° 'N, 57° 'W).

This is a small cove 2 miles to the Westward of Rose Blanche Point, wherein is anchorage for small vessels in 4 fathoms. Of the West point of the Cove are two small islands, and several sunken rocks. The passage in, is to the Eastward of the islands and sunken rocks.

Two leagues to the Westward of Rose Blanche Point are the Burnt Isles, which lie close under the shore, and are not to be distinguished from it, behind which are shelter for small vessels, and good fishing conveniences. Off these islands are sunken rocks, some of which are half a mile from the shore.

Three leagues and a half to the Westward of Rose Blanche Point, is Conny Bay, and Otter Bay; the latter is good anchorage for shipping in 7, 8 and 9 fathoms, but it is dangerous in going in, because of several sunken rocks without the passage, which in fine weather do not shew themselves.

West 3 quarters South, 4 leagues from Rose Blanche Point, are the Dead Islands, which lay close under the shore; in the passage between them and the main is good anchorage for shipping, in 6, 7 and 8 fathoms, sheltered from all winds, but is very dangerous going in unless well known, by reason of several sunken rocks lying in both at the East and West entrance. The entrance from the Eastward may be known by a very white spot on one of the islands: Bring this white spot to bear N.W. by N. and steer for it, keeping the rocks on the starboard hand nearest on board, and leave the island on which the white spot is on your larboard side. The West entrance may be known by a tolerable high white point on the main, a little to the Westward of the islands, on the West part of this point is a green hillock; keep this white point close on board, until you are within a little round rock, lying close to the Westernmost island, at the East point of the entrance; then haul over to the Eastward for the Great Island, (on which is a high hill) and steer in N.E. by E. half E, keeping the little rock before-mentioned in sight.

One mile to the eastward of Port au Basques is Little Bay, a narrow creek lying in N.E. near half a league, wherein is room and depth of water sufficient for small vessels.

From the Dead Isles to Port au Basques, the course is west 4 miles: between them lie several small islands close under the shore, and sunken rocks, some of which are half a mile from the shore. Port au Basques, which is a small commodious harbour, lies 2 leagues and a half to the eastward of Cape Ray. To steer in for it, bring the Sugar Loaf over Cape Ray to bear N.W. half W., or the west end of Table Mountain to bear N.W. Steer in for the land, with either of them as above, and you will fall directly in with the harbour. The S.W. point of which is of a moderate height, and white, called Point Blanche, but the N.E. point is low and flat, close to which is a black rock above water; in order to avoid the outer shoal (on which is 3 fathoms,) and which lies east 3 quarters of a mile from Point Blanche, keep the said point on board, and bring the flag staff which is on the hill, that is over the the west side of the head of the harbour, on with the S.W. point of Road Island, and that direction will carry you in the middle of the channel, between the east and west rocks; the former of which always shew themselves, and which you leave on your starboard hand. You must continue this course up to Road Island, and keep the west point on board, in order to avoid the Frying-pan Rock, which stretches out from a cove on the west shore, opposite the island; and as soon as you are above the island, haul to the N.E. and anchor between it and Harbour Island, where it is most convenient, in 9 or 10 fathoms, good ground, and sheltered from all winds; this is what is called the Road, or Outer Harbour, and the only anchoring place for men of war, but fishing ships always lie up in the Inner Harbour. To sail into it, you must steer between the west shore which is the S.W. end of Harbour Island, and anchor behind the said island, in 3 or 4 fathoms. In some parts of this harbour ships can lay their broadside so near to the shore as to reach it with a plank. This harbour has been frequented by fishermen for many years, and is well situated for that purpose, and has excellent conveniences.

Two miles to the westward of Port au Basque is Grand Bay, in and before which are several islands and sunken rocks, the outermost of which are not above a quarter of a mile from the shore, on which the sea generally breaks. In this bay is anchorage for small vessels, but not water sufficient for large ships. From Port au Basque to Cape Ray, the course is west one league to point Enragée, then N.W. one league and a half to the cape; off point Enragée (which is a low point,) and to the eastward of it are some sunken rocks one mile from the shore, on which the sea breaks.

Cape Ray is the S.W. extremity of Newfoundland, situated in latitude 47 deg. 37 min. north: the land of the cape is very remarkable near the shore, it is low, and three miles inland is a very high Table Mountain, which rises almost perpendicular from the low land, and appears to be quite flat at top, except a small hillock on the S.W. point of it. This land may be seen in clear weather 16 or 18 leagues. Close to the foot of the table mountain, between it and the point of the cape, is a high round hill, resembling a sugar loaf, (called the Sugar Loaf of Cape Ray) whose summit is something lower than the top of Table Mountain; and to the Northward of this hill, under the Table Mountain, are two other hills resembling sugar-loaves, which are not so high as the former; one or other of those Sugar Loaf hills are from all points of view seen detached from the Table Mountain. On the East-side of the cape between it and point Enragée, is a sandy bay, wherein shipping may anchor with N.W., Northerly, and N.E. winds, but they must take care not to be surprised there with S.W. winds, which blow right in, and cause a great sea, and the ground is not the best for holding, being all a fine sand. Towards the East-side of this bay is a small ledge of rocks, one mile from the shore, on which the sea does not break in fine weather. The best place for great ships to anchor is to bring the point of the cape to bear W. by N. and the high white sand hill in the bottom of the bay N.N.E. in 10 fathoms water, but small vessels may lie much farther in. You must take care not to run so far to the Eastward as to bring the end of Table Mountain on with the sand hill, in the bottom of the bay, for fear of the ledge of rocks before-mentioned. W. by N. half N. near one mile from the point of the cape is a small ledge of rocks, whereon the sea always breaks; and one mile to the Northward of the cape, close under the land, is a low rocky Island, in the channel between the ledge and the cape; also between it and the Island is 14 and 15 fathoms, but it is not safe for shipping, on account of the tides, which run here with great rapidity. The soundings under 100 fathoms do not extend above one league from the land to the Westward and Northward of the cape, nor to the Southward and Eastward of it, except on a bank which lies off Port au Basque, between 2 or 3 leagues from the land, whereon is from 70 to 100 fathoms good fishing ground. S.E. by E. half E. 8 leagues from Port au Basque, in the latitude 47 deg. 14 min. North is a bank, whereon is 70 fathoms. Note The true form and extent of these banks are not yet sufficiently known to be laid down in the draft.

Between the high land of the two capes [Ray and Anguille], the land is low, and the shore forms a bay, wherein are the Great and Little Rivers of Cod Roy; the great river, which is the northernmost, is a bar harbour, and will admit vessels of 8 and 10 feet draft at high water, in fine weather. It is a good place for a salmon fishery, and for building small vessels and boats, &c. there being plenty of Timber. You may approach the shore between the two capes to half a league, there being no danger that distance off.
