96 August 1-1918 Thursday. Camp Head. The wind shifted late yesterday afternoon to the northeast and during the night it did blow very hard. This morning the wind is still strong but the sea is still too rough for us to use our boat. It rained lightly during the night. At 8:30 A.M. we concluded to travel to the Hamors of Pauls inlet by way of the Government Road along the telegraph line, The distance to the Chamms along the straight line is not far from 5 1/2 miles. The walking for me- [illegible] the distance in through the pitchy-flank-arthuron swamps and the rest throug the boggy bush. I returned to camp near dead. He began to see the then looked light-blue li, and limy shales separated by their green shale gree along the shores of the ridge that makes the fault of the Hamors about one mile from the Chamms. Here strike dips 35° S.45°E. At the Hamors limestone conglomerate are present in the same area and then liturgy cornel grus each from 2 1/2 to 5 or 6 feet thick. They are made of flat limestone [illegible] pebbles usually fairly well surrounded on the edges and with there are as- sociated Chagga-Beckmontown shales up to 2 feet again. On the other hand me gone about 4 feet thick seemed to be intrusive and because the shale, more all hard and squezed into one another and much resembled the red hereath deposited in an undulatory area. Between the li conglomerate and the thin fridled li there are gones of greenish shales and from them gones of red-shales but also There are also black shales in very thin layers and in a loose piece I was able to take out are somewhat limy. Beyond the Hamors on the north one can clear see in the letters account more red shales and red li. as described by Logan. Across the strike these beds are visible for about 1400 feet and with a dip of 35 degrees then gives a thickness of 750 feet. On the other hand Logan mention the li conglomerate "in a small anticlinal dillroll" which is about one mile from the Chamms.
