"At 7 P.M we are in front of Red Island Light ship no 3 and have a fine view into the wide mouth of the Great Saguenay River. The mountains begin to be more rugged and high some miles past the river and appear to get down and come held upward. There is no flat strip along it is all of put down but in rounded from the south shore is a flat topped land gradually rising higher from the river. Nothing of the Appalachians can be seen from the river. It seems to me very probable that the Laurentians are of recent elevation and that over the top mere extends the Ordovician and possibly later rocks. How they are all model except where pre- served in down faulted places as the Late St. John region."
