July 3, 1906, Tuesday, (Continued) After supper Fernald and I walked down to the wharf and back. Unpacked trunks some. July 4, 1906, Wednesday Rainy, almost all day. Fernald and I had breakfast about 7.00 A. M. and rode to Baie des Cochons and botanized along the west end and north shore of Cap Enrage'. Found one place where it was impossible to pass, on account of cliffs dropping abruptly into the water, other than with difficulty and with the aid of alpine ropes. Started back from McDonald Cove For Baie des Cochons and met Donald Cole about 5.30 in the team that came out for us. At noon we built a fire under a big boulder and dried out some while eating. Electric lights out of order this evening so went to bed early. July 5, 1906, Thursday Mostly clear. Fernald and I worked all A. M. taking care of plants collected yesterday. After dinner (about 2.15 P. M.) we walked out to Pt. aux Corbeaux and collected there until 5.30 P. M. Later partially took care of specimens collected. Had a very severe cold in the head and throat all day. July 6, 1906, Friday Cloudy. After breakfast Fernald and I were employed until 10.30 A. M. in taking care of specimens. We were then driven out beyond B. Michaud's to Cap Original where we botanized for two or three hours. islands We then came back to the two areas east of Cap and collected there or in the vicinity.
