Friday 29. September.

Fair morning- start at 7.A.M. The land good, mixed growth. Banks rise gently from the River- on the west side above Madamiscontes is very pleasant shores and hard wood- good land from the stream upwards- and on the East side is middling land, mixed growth.-

The Horse-back or Ridge, which commences at Cold Stream Point running northerly- ends near the river back of and near Manockanock Island and is the best place for making a Road up River- this Ridge is cut by the River only and begins again on the West side 1 mile below Mada-nacook and runs northerly up to the grand falls or W. Branch, says Neptune.
