Matapea, Tuesday August 19
On time at Matapeia 9.13 Standard, and at
9.30 left M for Barachois station to go to Pointe
t St. Peters. A heavy clouded morning with showrs
in the air, but the sun is out as we start from Barachoe.
However as we go east it shows more and more, and
I see that all the streams are full. Towards evening it
gets cold and dismal. Arrived at Barachois at 7.30
P.M., and Mr Bond was waiting for me with a car
at the station.
Between St. Orme and Carlton de Bonaventure
is a very coarse conglomerate, and dark red as usual.
Bedding about horizontal with local foresetting. The trunks
run large from 2 to 6 or 8 inches, surrounded of limestone
(coral), quartzite and Barachoe's s.s.
Same coarse Bonaventure all along to west of
New Richmond.
On the north side of Black Cape de Bonaventure dips
to the N.E. at about 30 degrees, due to foresetting down the
slope of Black Cape Mt.
Another dry area of Bonaventure E. of Chandler
all the way to Bonaventure Island and Mt St. Anne.
Then no more at all Bonaventure all the way from Percé
to Gourelle.
