CHAPTERXI. EAST POINT TO WEST CAPE.

THE spot on which we closed the last chapter, nd from which we now rise, to continue our coast ine observations, is where the latitudinal line, 46° 7' 20” N., and the longitudinal 62° 0’ 58” W., 0c- upy, in partnership, the East Point. From this ex- remity,at a distance of33 miles, is St Peter’s harbor, nd between these places (the direction being E.S.E) he coast is almost unbroken, formed ofrcd sandstone lifl's, with patches only ol'sandy hn-ach, at the mouths ofthe small streams, where boats can only land in fine weather, or with off-shore Winds.

There are here a McAskill River, a Beaver Point, :1 Cable Head, 11 Schooner Pond, and a Bowley’s Pond, having noted which, we will enter St. Peter’s Harbor, the shores of which are well settled, with a church on the northern shore, near its head. This harbor has near the entrance. a magnificent range of sandhills, ofa good elevation above the sea,being 70 feet, and continuing several miles to the eastward, with only
