Perce, Quebec, Sunday August 4th - 1929 Stopping at The Havana near by Ernest Riard 3.50 p.m. day 21.00 a. night. This is the fourth Sunday out from New Haven and it is raining, he usual thing on all of them this year. Hovins are have breakfast at 8. and by 9 A.M. are away for Perce' others are arrive at 11.30. Corpus girl called to say good-bye and all the morning in the rain he has the blue-devils and finally I had to scold him and told him that if he kept on crying in the cabin among his scattering the church-going people, that he could go to the devil. He took it properly and straightened out but died down in his deck chair soon as he got pains - the loss of his sweet heart and the fame of the Professor. In the evening are best uprest again. We are get there from one we on the Macquarie rocks and appear to remain on them to ocean Anse du Cap. While cross- ing this region the thought came to me can this area be an old axis of sea separation running to the south the Lil and Olev, and to the north the Richmond and the Oler. If so the axis came into being after the Trenton series and before the Richmond. There will then be two sea ways in the St. Lawrence gorge - cline, (1) a northern or Salpe trough and (2) a southern Port- Daniel-Dalhousie-Jacquet River Trough. The Richmond then is restricted to the northern trough followed by the Olev, while the Lil, Held. and modified later Olev. is confined to the southern trough. This all is very much worth while looking into.
