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.
