July 4 - 1918 Stephenville
Returns at 10 P.M. still twilight
over the creek. Key some nothing of the rocks until about 100 feet
above the estuary and then of an altitude of 300 feet saw
the same spread dark rocks seen earlier in the day at South
Branch. Immediately at Little Rims the red sediments are of
brindon age, and it must not directly upon the Lamentra man.
July 5 - 1918. Friday
A dark cold morning. We are off to Stephenville
to train where we go next by steam to Port au Port. Arrived at 6.15 P.M.
North of South Branch the Long Range Nuts are much
more dissected and are jagged. Here one sees, but indistinctly, the fault
line scarp. Probably because they are east of the fault line.
Opposite South Branch and to the south one gets the impression
[one can see] of the ridge
that the Conyville Nuts are a series of ridges in rockshell and with the other
of the Long Range. Between the two the river valley is about 3 miles wide.
As one goes on towards Goffs Station one sees that the Conyville Cliffs
are once if a sort table land and in rounded cliffs forming mile valley. The valley
descends slowly for 20 Nuts and rises again to a much lower ridge near the
Belly of St. Lawrence Lake. The only has the trend of the Nuts - the tops of
the Long Nut are a rolling humplain, Miss
Conyville
Nuts.
