Reading - Port Clinton, Sep. 13-1914 Left Hatter by trolley for Allentown (1 hour) and then in Reading (3 hours). At 3 P.M. in Phil. and Ready for Port Clinton at 4 P.M. Just at the ragon bridge on the Little Schuylkill the red Talina shale and interbedded sandstone stand This is beside the Champ Kivhand of the P. & R. R.R. vertical. Then is again the Clinton of the Penn. bury, and said to be over 2600 ft. thick most of it not seen from one to most side of the larger Schuylkill and the cut of the Phil.-Reading is about 1000 feet but after the Trachoma once he here does not know, Beside the larger Schuylkill on the P. & R. R.R. one sees the same shale series and sandstone series of the Upper Medina seen yesterday at the Lehigh Gap. There are 2 faults here, On the Penn. R. R. above the Phil. R. R.R. the decline shows even better and the fault comes out plainer. Probably what one sees here are the upper Medina sandstone go for thick, if or they have as their base gneiss of red shale just I saw yesterday, However these red beds here are then just under the sandstone while yesterday they first appeared 150 feet lower down. As I said.
