"Friday July 22 Anse au Loup.
As the day is fine and the wind light we conclude to
sail for Florian Cove. As that are only six mile of the Cambie
to the east we have the kirtana sail close to the shore eastward.
The east horn of Anse au Loup bay = Red Cliffs is all of the
thin bedded red (orangeated) sandstone standing in red cliffs
to a height of about 150 feet (both sides 200). In the back of Anse
au Loup bay the hills on either side have at the top no lime-
stone and some can be seen on the sea cliffs at Red Cliff.
As we round these cliffs are get a view of Diable Bay
where there is another fishing village. In the dally in the back
of the bay one see the granita mountains that are not more than
4 miles from the head of the bay. Granite is also well exposed
(maybe 20 to 30 feet high) about half way out to the east horn
or Cape Diabie. It is therefore quite evident that no lime-
stones are exposed or even present to the east of the west horn
of Anse au Loup.
The red sandstones in Red Cliffs are thinner bedded and
differ from those seen farther north. They are the deposits
not far from the old shore.
The wind died down and as we drifted out northeast in
the straits we got further away from Florian Cove. At about three P.M.
a fresh wind blew up and dead against us for our destination
or we flew back again to Anse au Loup, arriving there at
5P.M.
