Thursday Sep. 4, 1930, continued The Hugh Miller cliffs are W of Mapusaka Landing Belm on the greenish Upper Cermian sh and s.s the soft beds making cliffs about 75' high. Less than 1/4 mile N. are the high Red Bonaventure beds in apparent horizontal layers. Arte Land- ing is an arch in the strata (we do not see it over the creek, here is all placed clay onto the Des. eroded away)). To the W the strata descend in low dips and then to near horizontal, should but not half of the mountain end in large rocks almost no cliffs fronts to Flens cnt Point. To the E. of the landing about 1000' the Dermian reappears with E dips and the the Bonaventure basal cnpl. thus make Gaeta Point. Farther E are the Upper Bonaventine red and white hard beds of shs and cnpl. From the sea looking back to Halfmoonie one gets the impression that Stewart's Cove was near the center of a volcano over the high hills to N. and chiefly NW all dip in these directions -- lava flows down the sides of the volcanoes. The E front of the volcanoes is eroded away and eaten into by the sea. From the Ferry deck one also has a somewhat wide view of the high elevated plateau back of St. Owen Carleton and to E. It is not an altogether level plain but rather undu- lating one, but in places the sides look flat.
