Ellis Bay Friday June 12-
A fine morning and as the wind is in the
j proper direction we are off for the Salt Laks.
As we got out of the Bay I see that I did
not get to Bear Point yesterday but only to Cape
Eagle. Bear Point is probably 2 or three miles east
and Poiret says there is a cliff around the
point to the east. The cliffs are about 1/2 mile long.
Long Point shows up well sticking out as a
prominent cape.
We can also plainly see South Shore of the
St. Lawrence Gulf. This is the high land to the
N.-W. of Cape Poiret. It does not stick out prom-
inently but still there is a long hue irregular line
off to the south.
A low coast all the way to Duck Run.
Here there is a camp and low cliffs about 10-15
foot high. We row 8 miles to Bessie River
a fine place for trout.
We see South West Point very well from east
of Duck Run.
At 10.15 we see the low falls of Little River.
