     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.
