August 14, 1905, Monday, (Continued) I got back about 7.00 P. M. Fernald not back yet. Temperature 42 degrees on the summit at 5.30 P.M. Snow still lingers in sheltered spots. August 15, 1905, Tuesday Clear and cold. Got up about 3.30 A. M. on account of the cold. Got up for good around five o'clock. Fernald and I worked on plants until 10.30 A. M. when Edward and Hector Gagnon went down the mountain with packs. About noon Fernald, Joe, Cote', and I started down the mountain. We kept along together until nearly down to where the trail runs close to the brook(2100 feet). Fernald and I then went down the brook*instead of the trail collecting until we reached the point where the trail crosses the stream (about 1200 feet). We followed the trail to a "Blowdown" where we lost it. Swinging east and then south we followed down the same brook that we had been following further up, to the Ste. Anne River at the forks. Hard travelling from there to the damp, for perhaps /c a quarter of a mile. Very warm. Growing cold and chilly. After awhile (after supper) we built up a big camp fire and toasted out before going to bed. Flies bad on Macoun's Brook today. Cold in the evening. *Macoun's Brook
