August 27-1918. Tuesday. Bonne Bay.
It was decided last night that we would go after
midnight to Middle Arm at about 2 A.M. before any wind
would arise. Lemire awoke us out from sleep at 12:30
and we had something to eat. Then we broke camp and
at 1:30 we were off and away. However there was some
lightning at the time with evidence of a rain. We
went once for nearly two hours when it began to rain
and to blow from (the southwest)
we turned in until about 4:30 when
it was decided that we had better return to Bonne Bay
where we arrived at 6:30 A.M. We got as far south as
Toad River when we turned around. It is the rainy and
windy days.
At 8:30 we went up a hotel at the home of Mr. Billings where
we stay for the day.
Awkward notes continued from p.152.
"To the east along the strike the same only beds is occupied
by a broad rounded valley paralleling the Mts. We climbed Sunday
afternoon. The next Mt beyond this valley is composed of rock which
as we look over across the valley with the telescope looks jointed
in sets and all the exposures show rectangular blocks and faces
strongly suggesting bedded rock, and we believe it to be the
Portuguese mantles".
[As present it is improper to say whether these Mt. chole, spanent
the middle or lower ochists of the Hunter Arm.]
