"Corner of the Beach Thursday Aug. 28, 1930. My room looks directly E our across Maltaq and this morning while seated I saw a lovely sun rise at 5 A.M. The horizon out to sea got dull red and then brightened. At first this band was narrow and then widened once and once. The red mixing with the blue sky made it an emerald green and this was reflected by the sea, but towards land there was a fair red. As the sun came nearer the horizon the sky lost its greenness and took on the color of day. And then the sun began to show above the horizon, casting a brilliant red flash across the sea, as the moon does on moon-lit nights. Started south on the Pierce Road to see other new ex- plosions, the road materially had opened. To the south of the road to Cannes Rocks is a very long high hill climbing steeply to the S and high at me the front. This entire hill side is now stripped and shows the crumpled fluted train bedded in and out of the Richardsonian. It is too fast to reveal fruits and I saw none. When I got to the Priests road I found it in its former but more neglected condition. It was over the mountain road from the Corner of the Beach Road will go, and on this last road my own car was being done. So I started back to go down to the shore via The Cannes des Roches road. Traced again to get around the rocky point about 3/4
