back to Telpena. On the way in
the Thunder Bay Island tug overtook
us and later learned that in
the morning could go with the
tug to Oturgeon Point and from there
to the Island.
Oct. 6. Sunday
Set up at 5.30 A.M. to take the
tug but by some mistake of the hotel
the call was set one hour too early.
The tug steamed directly for the island
at 12 A.M. reaching there at 1 P.M.
In the afternoon walked around the
island which exposed but a few feet
of limestone largely made up of Rhoma-
ttites and Acervularia. While there
was an abundance of fossils yet are
are or were by the action of the
sea as to make them of little value.
