Grand Prere, Friday, Aug. 16-1929
Started on my car for Shiphead and Cape
dorpe. Copper started a little on the road and tore down
this section of a rail fence, but otherwise we had no more
bad luck. The road got so narrow that we finally crawled
the last mile of the farm to the end of Gorpe Land.
[3708] In the brook between the two mountains one gets fine
things and a great lot of Plectrocyclus pleisphorus, some
of which are very good whole ones. These are fine to about
the same striking horizon as in Ooliel Brook.
On the way back looked about in Indian Cove and
would have gotten nothing if a local fisher man had not
given one for a dollar six tails of Dolomanites. This man
is Mr. Wilson Roberts and I told him I would try to get
him to call out more. When I gave him the dollars he said
it was as much as the value of his whole creek fishing.
Poor man!
Back to the care home at 3 P.M.
I am tired and tried out to make a success of
collecting fossils.
Copper has two boxes of fossils to ship.
