We left the harbour of Malpec in a canoe, crossed the three leagues of the bay and disembarked on a small stream. This streamlet, which is of little account, is maintained by the filtration of the waters from the surrounding lands which are peaty and marshy. From the banks of this stream a road was taken running one league to the south. It is practicable for carts which can cross from one bay to another. The lands are covered with all kinds of different woods, but the predominant is hemlock.
The harbour of Bedec is settled by eight families, and is situated on the south side of Isle Saint-Jean, sixteen leagues distant from Pointe la Joye, and eight from Bay Verte. The lands around said harbour are good for cultivation, and the shores of the harbour abound in pasturage.
The entrance is formed by the point of the Isle de Bedec lying on the east, and by the point to the west-north-west lying on the west. They lie east-south-east and west-north-west and are three quarters of a league apart. The channel lies north-east and south-west and is estimated at a quarter of a league in width, with four to five fathoms of water at low tide. After doubling the Isle de Bedec the harbour is found to be divided in two parts, one running to the north-east for about a league and a half, and the other three quarters of a league to the south-west. Vessels can anchor on either one or the other, at a depth of four, five, or six fathoms of water at low tide, but for the greatest safety, it is necessary to anchor in the sout-west branch which is generally sheltered from all winds.
