At 4 P.M. we returned north to see the shore just
north of Belle Burns towards Table Head. I walked over
the top along the path while Torrenchief followed the shore
to take the dip and stroll of the rocks. We then proceeded
to the gastrolite bed (gms N.3) at the southern base of Table
Head, while I collected in the isolated area of them redder
Hack modular limestone of N.1 standing nearly vertical and
just back of the botanical gardens of the houses. In certain
of these beds Amphyx and Agnostus were more common than
I had seen them at Table Head.
While collecting here William Lynd appeared and the
schooner was seen beating about outside south of Table Head.
After seeing Torrenchief and talking over this surprise we
did not re-visit the area until Monday evening. We concluded
that we had finished the Table Head region and would go on to Carr Head. Every thing was arranged to go
aboard the Vistena and at 7.30 we pushed away from
the shore in the day with Lynd and Bland at the oars. A
high swell was on and to me it looked dangerous to
go out and board the Vistena. We landed safely aboard
the Vistena and at once went to bed. He rolled badly
all the night and Torrenchief after 1 P.M. was a very sick
man.
