August 10. 1905, Thursday [3250 ft.camp, Mt. Albert]
Rain in night and early A. M. Very cloudy rest
of the day. Tent leaked in the night. Got
blanket and inside of sleeping bag very wet
and the canopy soaked. Fernald spent the morning
taking care of plants. I spent part of the time
fixing tent and then put in twp sets of plants.
Joe Fortin helped Fernald. In the P. M. finished
putting in plants and then Fernald and Joe went
up the mountain. I stayed at camp drying things
out.
August 11, 1905, Friday
Cloudy. Worked all A. M. on plants collected
yesterday. In the P. M. Fernald, Joe, Cote',
and I went up on the north slope collecting.
[illegible]
Got several sets. Flies/voluminous. We were
obliged to cover our entire faces. The two
Gagnon boys went down to the river for another
load of supplies.
August 12, 1905, Saturday
Cloudy. Heavy shower in P. M. Much colder
towards night. Worked part of the A. M. on plants.
At about ten o'clock we all started for Snow Brook
Ravine collecting. On the way I left the party
and walked over to the northeast barrens to just
above the point where Snow Brook leaves the gorge
and took some photographs. Before reaching the
great snow arch we were caught in a shower or two.
These showers continued most of the P. M.
