Also known as Low point. Abraham Gesner , in his report on the geology of the island dated December 31, 1846, says: "Near the Point is the site of an old French village and a large chapel which was abandoned.....when the Acadians were expelled. It is now covered with a thick growth of fir and spruce. At this place also the sea has advanced rapidly upon the shore and has intruded upon the ancient cemetery .....I collected all the bones I could find in the tideway and by the aid of the Indians, who considered it a very unpleasant task, they were reinterred some distance from the shore. This place has long been a favourite spot for money diggers. If the persons who have dug large pits at Low Point would endeavor to replace the bones of their race in a place of security, their labours would be more praiseworthy than they now are in fruitless searchings for the fold of the pirate, Captain Kidd , who probably never visited the island."
