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.
