These are the Tintamarre marshes of 40 square miles or about 25,600 acres. See Boucher p.75. In a conversation with a foreigner he says these marshes do not connect with Cumberland Straits as there is higher land along this coast. It seems divided as if at one time the Bay of Fundy connected with Cumberland Strait thus this narrow neck of land now uniting Nova Scotia to New Brunswick and the Continent. Stopping at Humphreys House in the night. The main body move to Mr Chas. Stuart's house at Bellevue Cove. Made the acquaintance of Mrs McFar - a former tree nurse at Dalhousie.
