THOMPSON'S COAST PILOT. 81 to abreast of the point beyond Horse Shoe Island, called Hagle Bluff Point, where a lighthouse has been erected, and shows a bright white light, leaving Plum Island to port in the distance, and the Door Bluff (which is high and deep close to) on the peninsula to port; and as you approach the next high bluff, called the Sister Bluff, you will make two small islands called the Sisters, which you also leave to port, at a distance of 13 miles, and take notice that there is a reef, with two detached shoals, 4 of a mile apart, on the same range, which bears from these islands SWbySsS 23 miles, with 62 feet water on them.
