"been together for the young man.
The night closes in around us with a dense
fog so that one cannot see a ship's length ahead
and yet the stars can, seem above.
Thursday,
July 22 - 1897 Off Nova Scotia,
Rose at six A.M. There is a splendid
clear day before us and to our left there is a
splendid view of Seaton Island with its two
light houses. A number of houses are seen on the
north-eastern end very much scattered. Along the
south-eastern shore of this island the rocks are more
shorn. Near the centre there is a marked unconform-
ity north of which the rocks dip pretty 450 some
of the beds are a deep red shale, a sandstone or
limestone. Shale north of the latter. The northern
light-house rests on glacial sand.
At 8.30 we passed Cow Bay Head showing
about 30 feet of the bed remarkably well. The dips also
various and almost vertical near the centre for White
took a picture spot. They head a good little to the
north of Flint Island. The beds are a light red or
pink color.
