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.
