50 THOMPSON'S COAST PILOT. Lighthouse, leaving two shoals, the White Shingle Island and shoal, and Snake Island, to the northward. The first or outer shoal bears NN WW from Cove Island and Lighthouse 1? to 2 miles; and the second bears SbyE from White Shingle Island, with 18 feet of water on it. You will carry deep water until you are past Echo Island; leaving it to starboard, run for the Bear's Rump, which is the next island to the eastward, with deep water close to; leaving it and the Flower Pots to star- board also; when past the Bear's Rump, haul up SKbyH7E for Cabot's Head, about 15 miles; thence SEZS 60 miles for Ool-* lingwood. From Cabot's Head to Bear's Rump WbyN 15 miles, leaving the Rump to starboard, and the Flower Pots to port; thence the same course to Cove Island Lighthouse 7 miles. TO RUN THROUGH THE CHANNEL TO THE SOUTHWARD OF COVE ISLAND. After clearing the west point of the island, which is shoal, keep along the south side of the island pretty close to, leaving Cove Island and several small islands to the northward, and Middle Island on either side, steering due east 23 miles from Middle Island, or until Cabot's Head bears SWbyW 4 or 5 miles distant; thence SEZS 60 miles to Collingwood Harbor. This route runs you about 34 miles from Surprise Shoal and 53 from Cape Croaker. FROM CABOT'S HEAD TO PENETANGUISHENE. From Cabot's Head to the Giant's Tomb ESE 60 miles. In running on this route to Penetanguishene, you leave a group of small islands, called the Western Islands, about 1% to 2 miles to the northward, and Hope Island, close to, to the southward. When past Hope Island, haul up SEZE for the mainland, leav- ing the Giant's Tomb Island well to port to clear some rocks which lie off the SE end of the island; follow the shore round until nearly abreast of Pine Point; then haul over to port, keeping the islands best aboard until above the point; then haul up to the SW and run into the bay. It is necessary to take a pilot on first going into Penetan- guishene Harbor. There is plenty of room after passing Pine Point.
