This was traceable from low water mark to the base of the bluff. The sandstones appeared much broken up wavelike, and every where low, the topography apparently everywhere less than 100 feet. The arm (S & SE) in which these exposures are shown is the 2nd from the entrance, rocky and with strong tides, only accessible at slack water. Sip. 30°-45° NWly.
