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.
