July 12, 1904, Tuesday
Foggy nearly all day. Showers in the late P. M. Immediately
after breakfast Miss Shaw, Miss Brooks, Fernald, and I rode
in a carriage out the Cacouna Road for two miles and botanized
on the salt marshes. In the P. M. we all botanized along
the ledges on shore near hotel and later Fernald and I
walked along the ledges northeast of the hotel. In the
evening we all walked on the Riviere- du- Loup road to the
bridge over the river.
July 13, 1904, Wednesday
Very foggy in the early A. M. Fair in the P. M. After our
breakfasts Miss Brooks, Fernald, and I rode via carriage to
the Riviere- du- Loup Falls and botanized in the vacinity
for a couple of hours. Boarded the Steamer Virginia about
5. 30 P. M. and a half hour later we started for Chicoutimi
and reached Tadoussac before dark.
July 14, 1904, Thursday
Fair, mostly clear. Awoke about 2. 45 A. M. on the Steamer
Virginia at the Chicoutimi Wharf. Dressed and went up on
deck and stayed there most of the time on the down trip
which commenced about 5.00 A. M. Had lunch of Educators,
chocolate, etc. between three and four and breakfast on the
steamer in Ha- Ha Bay. Had dinner just before reaching
Tadoussac. The scenery was fine. Mostly rocky headlands
covered with arctic looking vegetation. At Cap Trinity the
steamer stopped for a few moments under the sheer cliff which
is about 1500 feet high. At Saint Alphonse on Ha- Ha Bay
we all went ashore to botanize awhile. At Tadoussac we did
the same for an hour and a half. We visited some of the
ledges, sanddunes and the old chapel in the village and
later the salmon hatchery.
