July 15, 1906, Sunday Thousands of minges got through my canopy. Watched them this A. M. and saw them come through the regular meshes of cheezecloth. Got badly bitten by them last night. Very warm. Stopped in camp all A. M. Canoemen had some sort of church service in their tent. Lay under open tent most of A. M. For breakfast had eggs, bread, apple. etc. For dinner had cold salmon, apple, cheeze, and wheat. Started up- river again at 2.30. Passed Grand Rapid about 4.30 P.M. where our luggage was portaged. Temperature 75; temperature of water 64. Made camp a short distance above Grand Rapid (at the place where we camped last year) where the river bends from northwest to southwest. Cote' caught two trout, each between three and four pounds- supper of trout, potatoes, bread, plums, etc. July 16, 1906, Monday Cooler, 66 at 6.00 A. M. Very hazy and smoky. Not many flies to bother us last night. Used a joss stick in the canopy before going to sleep. Got up about 5.30 A. M. and had a bath in the river. Took Cote's trout rod and caught a salmon 29 inches long weighing about nine or ten pounds. Cote' and Joe helped me land him. Warm during middle of the day- 82 about noon. Started up- river about 9.30 A. M. Had dinner at "Upper Camp". Saw a large Canada Lynx trying to catch some ducks. Portage past Little Sault. This camp (Grande Fosse) is a few miles below the "Forks".
