Wear. SAT. FEB. 6, 1909 Ther. At Dartburn saw the New Glasgow Coyl. lay of made up of granitic material, pink granite, and white orthoclase syenite. This granitic debris comes later from Coteguid Mts and protrude farthest into the basin. The granite was deposited by the old Paleozoic sediments. Traveled on auto today from New Glas- gow to Dostville, and soon saw a high fire made of the New Glasgow coalomite. Then into Pitton where we looked up the house in which Sir William Dawson was born. A double and proper looking box story square modern house, built out to the seaward on Church st. at the corner of Serge. Dawson could not have had parents of any par- ticular standing, certainly of no wealth. Then two blocks further down Church St. saw the Academy where Dawson got some of his edu- cation. It was the public school! Then autoed from Toney River along shore of Northumberland and to Eldred Shore, are River John where we had lunch. Then went up the west hanch of River John to see the cupola on top of the New Glasgow Coyl. on the olden granitic coalomite.
