we reached our eating place at 11.15 A. M.
having potatoes, tomatoes, bread, etc. At
1.15 P. M. we started on again going more slowly
than last year. Left $300 in Ed. Le Francois'
care this morning taking a receipt for the same.
Reached Middle Camp about 5.30 P. M. and put
up Fernald's tent for him and me. Supper of
potatoes, marmalade, etc. Minges and mosquitoes
very numerous.
July 14, 1906, Saturday
Hazy and very warm. Slept very well last night
wearing pajamas. Got up about 6.00 A. M. and
had breakfast of salmon (from one weighing between
30 and 35 pounds) which Cote' caught in about
twenty minutes absence from camp before breakfast.
Started up- river again soon after breakfast.
River lower than last year. We had to get out
and wade several times. Had dinner about
1.00 P. M. of eggs, corn, potatoes, and bread.
On account of the heat we did not start on again
until after 3.00 P. M. Temperature 92 in the
sun and 85 in the shade; temperature of the water
68. Reached Three Mile Rapid late in the P. M.
and decided to camp in the woods at "Grand Rapid
Brook" about half way up the rapids. Minges in
great swarms. Supper of cold salmon, potatoes,
bread, marmalade, etc.
