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.
