With the Point bearing S.E., distant a mile and a-half (1½), steer due N., which course will lead through the inner passage in not less than four (4) fathoms.

In beating through, keep the lead going and do not in a vessel drawing more than seventeen (17) feet, when standing in shore, bring Long Point Buoy to bear to the westward of W.N.W.

In standing off, when to the southward of the north end of the reef, do not bring the Long Point Buoy to bear to the eastward of N.N.E., by which the eastern part of the reef will be avoided.

Small vessels may pass inside the Long Point Buoy, taking care not to bring Elizabeth Point to bear to the westward of S. by W., so as to avoid the Walrus Rock. With the above bearing a vessel will be in two (2) fathoms at low water, spring tides, with the Walrus Rock distant about half a mile.

The Walrus Rock lies nearly a mile off Long Point, when bearing S.E. by S., and is nearly dry at low water.

N.E. a mile and a half (1½) from the Walrus Rock, lies the Bird Reef, which is awash at low water.

Coasters should give this danger a wide berth, not bringing the Long Point Buoy to bear to the westward of S.W. With this bearing a vessel will be in two (2) fathoms at low water.

In the bay there is excellent anchorage in four (4) fathoms, with the jetty end bearing E.S.E., distance about two (2) cables’ lengths.

Small vessels can anchor in three (3) fathoms, with the end of the jetty bearing S.S.E. to S.

Alongside the jetty will be found good berths, from eight (8) to fourteen (14) feet, shoaling towards the shore.
