lantern on a pole at Summerside 'wharf‘. A short. distance within Indian Island, the harbor divides into two arms, called Wilmot and Dunk Rivers. The former is celebrated for its oyster beds. Both rivers are bridged over. The headlands to the southeast of Bedeque are named Sea Cow Head, Carleton Head, and Cape Traverse. Eastward from Cape Traverse are three coves named Provost, Augustine and Cumberland. TRYON RIVER lies a. mile to the eastward of Cumberland Cove, between Tryon Head and Birch Point; the farms on the sides ofthis river have been very favorably spoken of as well cultivated and productive. The entrance to Crapaud Road is not 209 yards, but the roadstead is about 2 miles long by about 1200 yards wide. boats-only can ascend Brockelsby River at low water, but the land rises 250 feet from its eastern bank, and the country round is pleasing and well settled. Sable Cove lies between Marle Head and Brockelsby Head, and is rcossed by a bridge a mile from its en- trance. From Marle Head to St Peter’s Island, a. distance offline miles, the coast is straight and un- broken.

We have described Hillsborough Bay previously, but ST. PETER’S ISLAND, was not mentioned as lying of? its western point of entrance. This island is three miles in circumference, with cliffs of red clay and sandstone, 35 feet high. It is settled on its sides, and has thick woods in its interior. The con-

“nection of this island with Rice Point is by sands, dry

at low water. Point Prim is the south east point of Hillsborough Bay, with low clifl's of sandstone. It is here PointPrim light is fixed. Governor’s Island, lying in the middle of Hillsborough Bay, is a low but wooded place, and noted for the dangerous shoals all round it. Squaw Bay and Pownal Bay and Gal- las Point, conduct us to ORWELL BAY, with an en- trance 2 miles wide, between Gallas and Buchanan

NOTE—The story about the Gallows that used to stand here is an absurdity; the fact is, a person of the name at Gallas used to live here.
