     Points, and leading to Orwell, Vernon, and Seal ‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     Rivers. The point near the confluence of Orwell 
     
     and Vernon Rivers,is called China Point. Seal River 
     
     enters the Vernon from the northward. Four miles 
     
     eastward from Point Prim, with only 2 feet at low 
     
     water, over a rocky and dangerous bar, is Pinetle 
     
     Harbor. Three miles further south easterly is Flat 
     
     River, only fit for boats, and Macdougall point. 
     
     From Stewart’s Point, 2 miles west,is Rifleman Reef. 
     
     This is one ofthe greatest dangers in the Northum- 
     
     berland Straits, on account ofits deep water near it, 
     
     and shallowness farther out. The cliffof sandstone, 
     
     40 feet high, about a mile south east of Stewart 
     
     Point is Bell Point. The breakers parallel with the 
     
     shore between Bell Point and the Wood Islands, are 
     
     caused by the Indian Rocks, which occupy a length 
     
     ofa mile and a half, by a mile in breadth. The two 
     
     little places called Wood Islands, will soon have no 
     
     wood on them; they are about half a mile from the 
     
     shore, and inhabited by one or two families; the lar- 
     
     gest of them is 50 feet high, and in length about 700 
     
     yards. Passing on from Little Sands to White Sands, 
     
     about 6 miles, will be noticed the bold clifl's ofsand— 
     
     stone, about fifty feet in height. The sandstone 
     
     cliffs to the eastward of White Sands are about 40 
     
     feet high, and without beach or landing, except at 
     
     Guernsey Cove. We have now reached the south- 
     
     ern point ofthe east coast of Prince Edward Island, 
     
     and we will make a full stop to this chapter, on the 
     
    
   
   
    
     rock 19 feet high, which lies close under its red sand- - 
     
    
   
   
    
     stone clifl's.

     NOTING that Georgetown is within 15 miles ofthis 
     
     place, we will proceed; we will turn abruptly tothe 
     
     westward, for MURRAY HARBOR, noted for its impas- 
     
     sable bar, when strong easterly winds are blowing. 
     
     The entrance to Murray Harbor is halfa mile wide
