Of Cape Mugford and of Bishop's Mitre, August 15 and 

 16: "We are in a bight on the south side of Cape Mugford, 

 at the entrance to its Tickle. North of us lies a pair of re- 

 markable peaks. One of them has two smooth, round sum- 

 mits, the other a more irregular one, about 3,000 feet in 

 height. Below the summits the slope of the top ends ab- 

 ruptly in vertical cliffs, furrowed with perpendicular lines and 

 showing horizontal strata that curve downward at the east 

 end and dip steadily until they meet the sea. Except at this 

 end, a long slope of talus lies at the foot of the clififs, clifT and 

 talus together measuring probably a thousand feet. At the 

 lower end of the talus are other lesser cliffs, finally ending 

 in comparatively low, irregular hills at the water's edge. . . . 

 We found the cliffs inaccessible. Adams and I climbed to 

 1,225 ^"S^t 3,t the far western edge of the peaks, up to the foot 

 of the main talus. Between the two peaks we found an in- 

 curving gorge, the cliffs continuing throughout its whole 

 extent and joining together the two mountains. At its inner 

 angle a beautiful waterfall makes a drop of probably 250 feet, 

 and then runs off in a curving brook through the short valley. 

 . . . Nothing can be more delightful than a sunny Labrador 

 day in midsummer, especially at sea, away from the plague 

 of mosquitoes, and with stupendous scenery to gaze at with 

 its constant changes and developments. We got away about 

 nine o'clock, with very little wind. Our course lay through 

 the narrow Mugford Tickle, close by the foot of the cliffs 

 described yesterday and northward beyond. The views we 

 had of Cape Mugford on its different sides were grand 

 beyond description. We passed under its cliffs where they
