July 27, 1906, Friday Clear or fair. Warm. Black flies in swarms all day. Hohn and Joe went down the mountain late in the A. M. with two loads. Came back about 6.00 P. M. Fernald and I at work all day burning plants for ash. In the early A. M. changed and toasted driers, and sent both presses of mosses down the mountain. July 28, 1906, Saturday Cloudy and very arm. Spent most of the day in camp on Mt. Albert taking care of plants for ash analysis! Soon after noon Fernald and I took rucksacks and collecting boxes and started down the mountain via East Peak Ravine and Allen's Ravine. The first ravine was extremely steep, even precipitous in places. The lower part of Allen's Ravine was a great mooseyard where many windfalls impeded progress. We reached Macoun's Ravine about 7.00 P. M. and followed up that to regular Mt. Albert trail and down to camp via that, arriving about dark. Hoe and John started from he mountain camp about the time we did and reached the river three quarters of an hour ahead of us. Cote' and Roy came in from cutting a train to Tabletop about 15 minutes after we arrived. Ate supper in the midst of an immense swarm of sandflies. Fernald and I in one tent.
