Brad,
I think that clinches it, good! According to the GNIS data Cape Belsham is the "Prominent cape 0.5 mi W of Point Wild" which would make it the middle of the 3 promontories at least in its modern interpretation. Unfortunately I can't make out enough detail in the sketch you attached to see whether James confirms this identification . I would note that the western most promontory would not be visible from Point Wild which probably makes it a less likely candidate,
Regards,
Robin
