,place to ,anchor is on the ,east-side1 
about half a ,mile from the ,head1 in #f

good1 and you are shelter'd from all

 lie off the ,west ,point of the ,bay of

steering along ,shore make a ,w4 by ,s4 
,course good1 will carry you clear of   
all ,danger4 ,small ,vessels may ,anchor
 in the ,road between these ,islands in 
#d and #e ,fathom1 tolerably well       
shelter'd from the ,weather3 ,nearly in 
the ,middle of the ,passage going in    
between the two ,islands1 is a sunken   
,rock1 which you avoid by keeping nearer
 to one ,side than the other1 the most  
,room is on the ,east-side4 ,the        
,eastermost ,island communicates with   

the ,main at ,low-water1 by a narrow    
,beach1 over which ,boats can go at     
,high-water1 into the ,n4,w4 ,arm of

 ,here are ,conveniences for a ,fishery1
 but little or no ,wood of any ,sort4   
,near to the ,south ,point of the       
,westermost ,island is a ,rock pretty   
high above ,water1 called ,lamelin ,shag
 ,rock2 in going into the ,road between 
the ,islands1 you leave this ,rock on   
your ,larboard ,side4  ,sidenote3       
,lamelin ,ledges4  ,these ,ledges lay   
along the ,shore1 between ,lamelin      
,islands and ,point ,may1 which is #c   
,leagues1 and are very ,dangerous1 some 
of them being #c ,miles from the ,land4 
,to avoid these ,ledges in the          
,day-time1 you must not bring the       
,islands of ,lamelin to the ,southward  
of ,east1 until ,point ,may1 or the     
,western extremity of the ,land bear ,n4
 by ,e4 from you2 you may then steer to 
the ,northward with safety1 between     
,point ,may and ,green ,island4 ,in the 

,night1 or foggy ,weather1 you ought to 
be very careful not to approach these   
,ledges within #cj ,fathom ,water1 least
 you get intangled amongst them4        
,between them and the ,main are various 
,soundings from #af to #e ,fathom4      
,sidenote3 ,observations4  ,all the     
,land about ,cape ,chapeaurouge and     
,laun1 is high and hilly close to the   
,sea2 from ,laun ,islands to ,lamelin it
 is of a moderate ,height2 from ,lamelin
 to ,point ,may1 the ,land near the     
,shore is very low1 with sandy ,beaches1
 but a little way inland are ,mountains4
  ,sidenote3 ,island of ,st4 ,peter's4  
,the ,island of ,st4 ,peter's lies in   
the ,latitude #df ,degrees #df ,minutes 
,north4 ,west by ,south near #ab        
,leagues from ,cape ,chapeaurouge1 and  
,west by ,south half ,south #e ,leagues 
from the ,islands of ,lamelin2 it is    
about #e ,leagues in circuit1 and pretty
 high1 with a craggy1 broken1 uneven    
,surface4 ,coming from the ,westward1 as
 soon as you raise ,gallantry ,head1    

which is the ,south ,point of the       
,island1 it will make in a round        
,hommock like a small ,island and       
appears if seperated from ,st4 ,peter's4
 ,on the ,east-side of the ,island1 a   
little to the ,n4,e4 of ,gallentry-,head
 lay three small ,islands1 the innermost
 of which is the largest1 called        
,dog-,island2 within this ,island is the
 ,road and ,harbour of ,st4 ,peter's2   
the ,harbour is but small1 and hath in  
it from #ab to #bj ,feet ,water2 but    
there is a ,bar across the ,entrance1   
whereon there is but #f ,feet at        
,low-water1 and #ab or #ad ,feet at     
,high-water4 ,the ,road which lies on   
the ,n4,w4 ,side of ,dog-,island will   
admit ,ships of any ,burthen1 but it is 
only fit for the ,summer ,season1 being 
open to the ,n4,e4 ,winds2 you may lay  
in #h1 #aj1 and #ab ,fathom1 and for the
 most ,part is a hard rocky ,bottom1    
there is very little clear ,ground2     
,ships of ,war commonly ,buoy their     
,cables2 the best ,ground is near the   

,north ,shore4 ,going in or out1 you    
must not rainge too near the ,east-side 
of ,boar-,island1 which is the          
,eastermost of the three ,islands       
above-mentioned1 for fear of some sunken
 ,rocks which lie ,east about #a ,mile  
from it1 and which is the only ,danger  
about ,st4 ,peter's1 but what lay very  
near the ,shore4  ,sidenote3 ,island of 
,columbo4  ,this ,island is of a small  
circuit1 but pretty high1 and lies very 
near the ,n4,e4 ,point of ,st4 ,peter's2
 between them is a very good ,passage1  
one-third of a ,mile wide1 wherein is   
#ab ,fathom ,water4 ,on the ,north-side 
of the ,island is a ,rock pretty high   
above ,water1 called ,little ,columbo2  
and about a quarter of a ,mile ,n4,e4   
from this ,rock is a sunken ,rock1      
whereon is #b ,fathom ,water4           
,sidenote3 ,island of ,langley4  ,the   
,island of ,langley1 which lies on the  
,n4,w4 ,side of ,st4 ,peter's1 is about 
#h ,leagues in ,circuit1 of a moderate  
and pretty equal height1 except the ,n4 

end1 wich is a low ,point with ,sand    
,hills along it2 it is flat a little way
 off the low ,land on both ,sides of it1
 but all the high ,part of the ,island  
is very bold too1 and the ,passage      
between it and ,st4 ,peter's 7which is  
#a ,league broad7 is clear of ,danger4  
,you may ,anchor on the ,n4,e4 ,side of 
the ,island1 a little to the ,southward 
of the ,sand ,hills1 in #e and #f       
,fathom1 a fine sandy ,bottom1 sheltered

,miquelon4  ,from the ,north ,point of  
,langley1 to the ,south ,point of       
,miquelon is about #a ,mile2 it is said 
that a few ,years since they join'd     
together at this ,place by a ,neck of   
,sand1 which the ,sea has wash'd away   
and made a ,channel1 wherein is #b      
,fathom ,water4 ,the ,island of         
,miquelon is #d ,leagues in ,length from
 ,north to ,south1 but of an unequal    
,breadth2 the ,middle of the ,island is 
high ,land1 called the high ,land of    

,dunn2 but down by the ,shore it is low1
 except ,cape ,miquelon1 which is a     
lofty ,promontory at the ,northern      
extremity of the ,island4  ,sidenote3   
,dunn ,harbour4  ,on the ,s4,e4 ,side of
 the ,island1 to the ,southward of the  
high ,land1 is a pretty large           
,bar-,harbour1 called ,dunn ,harbour1   
which will admit ,fishing ,shallops at  
half ,flood1 but can never be of any    
,utility for a ,fishery4  ,sidenote3

between ,cape ,miquelon and a very      
remarkable round ,mountain near the     
,shore1 called ,chapeaux3 ,off the      
,south ,point of the ,road are some     
sunken ,rocks1 about a quarter of a

else it is clear of ,danger4 ,the best  
,anchorage is near the ,bottom of the
