August 24, 1905, Thursday, (Continued)
Got up about 6.00 o'clock and took the 7.00
o'clock train for Riviere-du-Loup. Went in
a carriage to shore below the Bellevue House at
the Point and we got fruit of Cornus Luecica and
Thalictrum confine and drove back to Riviere-du-
Loup station, where we waited for the 12.10 P.M.
mixed train on the Temiscouata Railroad en route
to Fort Kent, Maine. Train very late and kept
getting later. Left Edmundaton Junction two
hours and twenty minutes late and Clairs at 10.30
more than three hours late. Teams from the
Dickey House met us but the ferry got stuck
on a sand-bar in the middle of the river, so in
order to lighten the boat, our baggage wagon was
driven overboard and ashore.
August 25, 1905, Friday
Mostly clear. Slept very well and got up at
the Dickey House about 7.45 A.M. Had breakfast
with Fernald about 8.00 o'clock. Fernald went
down by the end of the railroad track to
collect some Angelica. I went down one half hour
later and did not find him. I went back to the
Dickey House and as Fernald had not returned at
10.30 I put his belongings on the carriage and
went to the depot. Fernald appeared at the depot.
His watch was over one half hour late and he had
supposed that he had ample timetto get back to
the hotel. Took several photographs from the rear
of the train on the way to Ashland Junction. Train
on time. Fernald left me at Oldtown. At Bangor
I obtained a lower berth in the sleeper and got
lunch in the station.
