At Mont St.Pierre the Quebec again
struck out to sea.
From Gros Morne east for many miles,
in fact almost to Cape Rosier, we are in a thin
series of clay sl and then bedded muds ss, and
of a light blue-grey color than the Quebec
series. This is identical to series that Logan in
1863 called Hudson River. Stopped at three
places to look for fossils but saw none. It seems
here in Nfld instead MS and much of the coal
for along to sea shore.
At 12-30 to 1.30 we are at lunch at
Hotel Bon Accueil at Riviere Madeleine.
It was a good lunch that cost 1.00. These
people will get rich without doing much work.
Passed Fox River at 3.30. The Hudson
River series is here as farthern south.
At about 4.45 we are at Cape Rosier and
see close at hand the Cape Bon Ami, and the
St.Albans cliffs. Here we turned south.
