"to start until 8.45. Today is Dominion Day throughout Canada. I take it that this is the equivalent of our Fourth of July and if so it is curious that the two national hilt days are so close together. Hyde tells one that an engineer having to do with dred construction said that the highest tides never attain to over 16 feet. The usual tides are lower at On July 2-1912 the tide was completely out at 11.30 and at about 2 P.M. the flood was about all in. In this time the tide must have risen 30 feet. At low tide in the Ceron one sees at very low tide small remains of the same sea weed seen about our shores. The only abundant shell is a bivalve of which there are some and small gastropods not the Littaria. Rarely there are few barnacles, here are also some small shrimp like crustacea that run on their sides. Otherwise one sees very little of true life but that which is present in marine. Even at lowest tide the grey muddy bottom feels salty. The hybrid Otelia also occurs here.
