We are 10 min late at New Carlisle and lose 20
more in remaining to town, so many passengers that a
third coach is added; one of these is a chain car, many filled
with passengers from Gaspe Basin. Leave St. Louis W at
1:50 P.M., or 20 min late.
Rock of Carleton about one mile long and Greenstone
Standing near an edge. Harbor has peculiar reputation as Gaspé SS.
Look this up, May maybe Devonian. At least one of the
vertical surfaces was much slicken-sided, and or maybe
jointed and slipped surfaces. Before getting to the next town
over, St. Damien; all is fine. I shall be greatly surprised
if these strata turn out to be undeformed Bonaventure;
they have the characteristics of the deformed Gaspe SS
and Point St Peter series. And Alfred about these
strata every Carleton, or even E.M. Kindle.
Got to Rimouski 30 min late, or at 6:15. Then
to Auto to the ferry over the Restigouche River that took
me to Chateau Restigouche - cheap, $1.00 mile &
passengers up. Took a room with bath, and once
once down in the land of comfort, not other it should
be but much better than over in Quebec.
