The channel here is about ¢ of a mile wide; you will have from 3 to 44 fathoms water. Keep Four Mile Point well aboard, in 43 fathoms; when clear of the point, steer for Kingston ; haul round the west point of the harbor, and come to off the old wooden Lighthouse in 6 fathoms water, soft bot- tom, or run alongside the docks. | Garden Island is directly opposite Kingston Bay, and is the principal timber port. * FROM PORT DALHOUSIE TO OSWEGO. Run out of the harbor 2 miles NNE; thence EbyNZN 30 miles; thence EiN northerly 106 miles, to Oswego. To Ron twro Osweco--When well up to the harbor, haul round the end of the west pier and run in. When the wind is scant, and the current running out strong, it is best to tow in, as the bottom is rocky and an anchor will not hold. Many ves- sels have been lost by attempting it in heavy weather.
