August 28-1918 Middle Arm.
He left O' Rourke's camp at 3.30 and started for Carling
where one hope to finish packing all our boxes and camp things
tomorrow as we like ready to go home on Friday. The weather
has been fine all day and we have a splendid trip to Carling
where we arrive at 6 P.M.
Just as I go into supper who showed just me but Doctor
Tyrell. He then talked on things and he proposed a little side
trip into North Arm where a metereolite is reported on the top
of the mountain. Did not care to go but as Alentan and Edwards
were willing and as we could get Lemire and O'Rourke too,
laterwise they propose to make the trip tomorrow and be back on
Saturday. I shall remain at Carling until they return.
As we go out of Middle Arm we see that both shores have the
same thin bedded sometime limestone series studied in the morning. These
strike eastwise around Black Head and shift to the southward
at Middle Arm Point a thick mass of greenish sandstone appears.
Farther south all the way into Alentan arm the Parigatal series
consists rather of a shale series though there are zones with thin
bedded sandstone and heavy bedded greenish sandstone. I also saw
two thin zones of red shales but neither of these are the equivalent
of those seen to the east of Carling. Brook Island also is all of
the Parigatal series. I am also now convinced, due to one
morning error, that the so-called 'Totte Head Series' of Coral Arm
is the equivalent of what we saw this morning.
