THOMPSON'S COAST PILOT. 81 FROM COPPER HARBOR TO AGATE HARBOR, EIGHT AND ONE-HALF MILES. To enter the north harbor, bring the target or beaoon on the main shore (about 4 a mile east of the large warehouse) to bear SSE, and run on this course until the houses on the south shore of the south harbor come in range with Agate Point; then haul up EXN to the anchorage in the middle of the harbor, in 4 to 5 fathoms, mud bottom. To enter the south harbor, bring the target or beacon to bear SSE, and run for it until the small rocky island to the west of Agate Point is just opened with this point; then haul up for the houses on the north side of the south harbor, and run for them until abreast of Agate Point; then steer for the wharf or dock, or come to in the middle of the harbor in 3% to 4 fathoms water, mud bottom. EAGLE HARBOR, FIVE AND ONE-HALF MILES WEST OF AGATE HARBOR. To enter the harbor by the east channel, bring the peers to bear WSW3S, and run for it until the eastern point of the harbor bears due south, and is distant 4 of a mile; then steer SWS to a point about 160 feet east of the most eastern point of Senter's dock. To enter the harbor by the west channel, bring the cleft in the rock and signal target in rear in range, when, the compass should read SEbyS38, and run on this course and range until the bar at the mouth of the harbor is passed; then haul up for the dock, or come to in 33 fathoms water, sandy bottom. The reef which lies outside the harbor is three-sixteenths of : a mile north of the east point of the harbor at the eastern end, and the same distance from the Lighthouse to the western end of it. The least water is 3 and 4 feet on the east end and north from the point; the least water on the west end is 5 and 6 feet, due north from the middle of the bar; and on the extreme ends east and west, 16 and 18 feet. There is a patch with 12 feet on it, north of the Lighthouse, and west of the middle ground or shoal. In running on the ranges to enter the har- bor, you will have from 11 to 16 feet water on the bar, and 18 to 24 feet inside. aa i
