covered the entire Gasp6 peninsula, with the exception of the higher 
aranodafos summits, originated locally, as shown by the transported 
boulders and the glacial striae wimjh radiate in all directions from 
the higher peaks.. 
In 1844 (80 years ago) Sir William Logan made a geological and 
geographical trip up the Gap Ghat river and across the peninsula to the 
Baie des Chaleurs. He explored a mountain which he called in his report 
Mt. Bayfield, also another still larger one to the east of the river 
which has since been known as Mt. Logan. Ever since then-that is, 
for nearly 80 years—-Mt. Logan has been so©thing of a myth, or geo¬ 
graphical will-t)-the-wisp. Few people kBew anything about it beyond 
its name and apparently nobddy had been there, except perhaps a few 
hunters, or at least i|- they had been there they did not know it aa 
Mt. Logan. 
In 1918, A. P. Coleman, the present Canadian geolegist, went up the 
Cap Chat river to explore the Mt, Logan region, but violent storms, fog, 
and cold weather^drove him back, and although he supposed he had seen 
Mt, Logan in the distance his own description shows conclusively that 
the mountain he saw through a fift in the fog and rain/was located some 
five miles west of the real Mt. Logan, as we now know it. 
In July, 1922, Profs. Femald and Peas© (both botanists) had five 
days to spare at Cap C^at and thqy made a two days trip up the river 
(and two days to ret’arn) to see if they could find the long lost Mt. 
Logan. They went some five miles beyond the farthest point visited by 
Coleman in 1918 and located the mountain that Coleman described and 
called Mt. Logan. They, too, were driven back by violent storms of 
rain, hail, snow and wind; but before being driven out of the mountains 
they had a.,glimpse through a rift in the clouds of a still higher mount¬ 
ain scj&a! three miles beyond where they were able ^to go. and across a
