Thursday July 18 1910, Fortean
The rain of yesterday has not yet cleared off.
The day is dark and the ground very wet and we
had not fished all day.
We collected all day at the point to the west
of Fortean Bay about four miles to the southwest
of the village along the telegraph line. Our
result was not large and consisted in the main
of brachiopods.
It is now evident that we are not able to make
a large collection of From Cambrian fauna.
The day was clear enough to see distinctly
the entire Newfoundland shore along the Straits
of Belle Isle, from Fortean across to Flower
Cove it can not be more than nine miles as
one sees the houses along the shore. It is a
dry straight shore with a perfectly flat sky
here.
This afternoon we saw four
steamers at one time.
