Friday September 2-1910 Belle Isle. Last night arranged with a fisherman to take me to Belle Isle this morning in his sail boat. This morning the wind is again, as it has been so often this summer, in the wrong direction and therefore drove go via the railway to Helligew and from here by steamer. At Topsail station was told that the little steamer intended to go regularly from Helligew to Belle Isle but that it was found that the water is too shallow here. Therefore the steamer now goes 2 to 3 times a day from Port Royal Cove which is nine miles north of Topsail and the only way to go there is to get a canoe or a walk. Or so today. Visited Manuels Brook to study the contact between the Lower and Middle Cambrian. This is Daleth's gneiss "Calcareous sandstone with pindist limestone in irregular masses, 2 foot" The contact with the red shale of gneiss it appears to be perfectly conformable so far as I can see but the contact is all crossed by the brook. The calcareous sandstone may be termed a nodular arenaceous limestone, present as a rule with the lining goes tending to be pindist.
