"August 10, continued Faith E., at about beneath the Pic occurs a crane sometime of considerable thickness. See [illegible]. These SS strike N. 30 W. and dip from 45° to 60° S. and somewhat. All of them constitute what I call an arc rising to Peruano. He decided for awhile at the Three Sisters, where the beds are as usual very critical and troubling in dip and strike. I assume it is more [illegible] up to the cliffs gone at the north end of Cape Barre. The irregularity in deformation all along the Buraille saves me the impression that the structure is a closed syncline in more or less incompetent beds. Or this is an overthrust favour given here cutting out many folds just to Peruano Barre. Once around Cape Barre at low tide one can walk [illegible] all along this coast, but there is no way to getting here except by our boat, or coming from the north by walking. It will take many days to travel and surround the structure and determine the delimitations of the formations. The above interpretation is very different from Clarke's interpretation. I did not at once see the anticline under the Pic as he has it and the syncline to the north. Those structures as he has it are transverse to the actual structure which appears like a faulted or thrustled broken syncline or anticline. Which he cannot make out as yet. The whole Pic d'Amore is either parallel to Peruano ls, but as Clarke says, of they underlie them, then there must be a fault between Peruano Rock and Ant. Joli and the Coûte to the south of the Three Sisters. I am disposed to regard them as younger than the Peruano ls.
