one and not a single rock or house anywhere in sight. Then too no one hereabouts knows of the fossils. Small cliffs are reported to the east ad west about five miles, where Verell got his fossils I do not get there. At Salt Lake lives Jno. Bourget the man that works after the telegraph lines along the island. He is a tall and very strong man and is equal to any that Centricosti demands. Single handed he will go along the line and during the summer his constant enemy is the mosquitoes especially when he is off on the poles. He also says that they are so common in the summer that while starting ducks he can not see to aim. This place must be here during the summer as yet this family seems to be happy with one son and three daughters. However they are on the island but five years. I had a chicken dinner at Mr. Bourget's. In coffee capalon.
