book about the Nlfd coastline

The following eleven pages are scanned from a book printed circa 1900 that describes the entire coastline of Newfoundland. The title page is missing and the name of the book on the cover is illegible, so I can't provide the title of the book. However, pages 127-137 give an interesting century-old description of that portion of the coastline around Fortune Bay and should be interesting to those interested in Rencontre East.
