July 4 - 1910
Rained hard and a high wind all day
in the house all day.
July 5 - 1910
By the stage left [illegible] at 8 A.M. in
[illegible]. A cold wet table morning.
Arrived at [illegible] at 11 A.M. Left on the
I.C.R.P. train for North Sydney at 12.04.
Between Jones River and Centismit one sees
on the south side of the railway Gypsum lies
scattered into fantastic forms. Again on the west
side of the bay making Cape George.
Much Gypsum again a little north of
Mr. Kennens Harbour, there it stands nearly
vertical. Also around [illegible], have fine sea
shipping facilities.
Arrived at the wharf where the steamer
Bruce lay at about 7.45. Then found out that
my trunk was at the North Sydney station
and the drill at the Canadian Express Co.
Took a carriage to get the things together
and at 8.30 tried to find something to eat.
After trying two places one got something at the
third place and it was third rate.
