"As the boat rolled considerably or rapidly
changed clothes, had a fire made in the cabin stove,
drank a cup of tea and then laid down.
At six thirty we ate a little supper and then
turned in for the night. In a half hour Town-
Holl was still and after tossing his small
supper he remained quiet for the night.
During the night the wind died down and the
schooner rolled less.
Friday July 22. Anse au Loup.
The day is fine, sunny but cold.
Having a light wind we conclude to sail for
Flowers Cove. To see the shore to the eastward
we have the Western sail close by Red Cliffs until
we could reach our Diatle Bay.
These cliffs are here of them redded red and yellow
sandstone in eroded standing forty 150 foot
high although they look nearer 200 feet. The
limestone are to be seen here and to the eastward
on Cape Diatle as the granite sticks out to the
east or seaward of the village. In the back of
the village about four miles maybe seen the
granite hills with their irregular sky line.
