July 13, 1906, Friday (Continued) 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.
