August 25-1918, Sunday Bonre Bay. Lemire told us last night the prepared at any hour of the night to make camp. I therefore went to bed with my boots on but he did not care during the night and I had concluded that another day had the boat in eddren at Cow Head. So at 6.30 this morning he called us and told us to hurry. By 7 we had to start down and all the logs tied again in the pile. O' Rombe had breakfast ready at 7, and at 8 in a very light wind were off for Bonre Bay. The sea was fairly calm and the sun shone through a haze so that it was good going southward. There was no wind to encounter much all day. We got to Bonre Bay at 1.45 P.M., and at 3.30 far up towards the head of East Arm after Duncan and Edwards ascended the Cambrian mountain side to look for the bottom of the Cambrian and contact with the Postergnic, The latter appears to be present very close to the mouth of the Cambrian and to make up into Bonre. The trip to the top of the mountain (2100 a.m.) resulted in a good mine because of the clear day but so far as determining the rocks beneath the Cambrian there was no result. Duncan says the southern slope is all eroded and the descent very steep. What could be seen in the distance was long inclined more than side, leading to the area that such flat surfaces must have been hidden by folded arcs and therefore Postergnic sheets.
