"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.
