181 August 22-1918 Thursday. Pot laundus, A fair ointy warm morning, wind in land from west and one mile round for another day. August 23-1918 Friday. Pot laundus. William Lemiere said that the weather usually changes on Friday and that partly one could go south. Slog, This morning is in right and the wind from the land near. We are up early and are off at 8:05 for Sarafamil to get our mail. We got to the place at 8:05. It is fortunate that we called before I got Boston's registered letter with the check for $20 dollars. We turned south at 9:40 A.M. At 1:40 we are opposite Totle Head, and 6:40 we are again at Carr Head. In passing Portland Head I again took a good look at it and concluded that the rock in it must be either dolomite and if Beal mountain age like that of the Arches, or of the Carr Head Cr. ometite. The front fault face of the head seems to be in line with the strike of the Arches. The north canister of sandstone for elsewhere these archs do not make cliffs and only appear in the reef as a rule (Ref: 130-131). Parson Pond Head is probably Carr Head strikes and appears to stand in line with the second or minor fault of Lora Head. See page 117 and map.
