From Watkins Point the boundary line runs due east seven thousand eight hun- dred and eighty yards, to a point where it meets a line running through the middle of Pocomoke sound, which is marked 1° C" on the accompanying map, and is in lati- tude 37° 54' 38", longitude 75° 47' 50"; thence, by a line dividing the waters of Pocomoke sound, north 47° 80' east five thousand. two hundred and twenty yards, to a point in said sound marked I'D" on the accompanying map, in latitude 37° 56' 25", longitude 75° 45' 26"; thence following the middle of the Pocomoke river by a line of irregular curves, as laid down on the accompanying map, until it intersects the westward protraction of the boundary line marked by Scarborough and Calvert May 28;-16$8, at a point in the middle of the Pocomoke river and in lati. trade 37° 59' 37", longitude 75° 37' 04" ; thence, by the Scarborough and Calvert line, which runs 5° 15' north of east, to the Atlantic ocean.
