On the Gulf, Wednesday July 1- Slept the usual troubled sleep. Got up at 7 and had breakfast at 8. At 9 we are at Esquimaux Point and as the day is bright we have a fine view of the country. There live about 175 families. We again see the cliffs of dolomite and if fossil are present it would be easy going about here from Esquimaux Point. The point is a low sand bar while the background is high and mountainous. The islands are flat topped with the shore about halfway a point slightly undulating. Took several pictures of them. At 11 A.M. we are at Mingan. Again sand on the North Shore but heavy reddish dolo- mite in the island forests. Here we picture of the village. At 11.30 we are at Lay Point. Hot up a gull from ashore. The Laurentian rocks to the North 25 miles away are of about 3000 feet. at the highest and down to 2000 feet at the low. One sees plainly Anticosti from here.
