THOMPSON'S COAST PILOT. 93 until wellup tothe wharf; then follow the buoys round; leaving them on the starboard hand, two red buoys to the westward, and two white buoys to the eastward; thence straight up the bay, in line with the wharfs, or come to in any part of the bay, in 18 to 22 feet water. 'The depth of water between the piers and the buoys, is 11 to 12 feet, and is being deepenedevery year. A sandy shoal stretches into the lake a quarter of a mile, in a SW direction off Gibraltar Point, and continues along the west side of the island, to the en- trance of the bay, due north, to the buoys, at an average distance of a quarter of a mile from the island, with 5 to 6 feet water on it, and at the point drops off suddenly to 12 and 20 feet. Danger.--There is a large boulder stone, in five feet water, nearly midway between the Queen's and Garrison wharfs, and a little to the south of them. To. make a lee under the island, come to in from 5 to 6 fathoms. | Note.--In running up the lake for Toronto harbot, keep 24 miles from the shore, so as to open Gibraltar light from the projection of the island, where the highest trees are. A channel has formed at the east end of the bay, with 5 or 6 feet water in it, by the force of the sea in heavy gales. It was proposed some few years ago to eut a channel through here, but was given up, supposing it would spoil the western entrance. It will now be proved by this break in the narrow neck of the Peninsula, whether it will have that effect at the western entrance or not. _ THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL OR PICKERING, FORMERLY CALLED FRENCH- MAN'S BAY. This port is 26 miles NESE of Toronto. It is formed by a bay running into the land, and separated from the lake by a sandy and gravelly beach, through which is a cut 100 feet wide. The light is on the east pier, and visible five miles. 'The harbor itself is well sheltered, being completely land-locked ; but from the foulness of the bottom, (principally from weeds,) an anchor will not hold during a hard blow. The average depth of water inside the bay is 9 feet 6 inches ; at the outer mouth, between the piers, 11 feet 6 inches; and the inner mouth 7 feet 6 inches.
