July 17, 1904, Sunday
Cloudy in A. M. - clear in P. M. Did not awaken
until nearly 8.00 A. M. Dressed immediately and
had breakfast after which we started for some
precipitous headlands some two or three miles west
of Bic. We worked up on one and followed it to the
westward along the summit by a mile or more to a
much overhung cliff. We worked down a wooded strip
at the side of the cliff and along the base of the
c Cliff and then down to the talus, finding numerous
interesting plants along its base. Got back to the
buckboard about 4.00 P. M. and ate a lunch after
taking a short sea bath. On the cliffs and upper
slopes we used the Alpine rope considerably. It
would have been impossible to have come down where
we did without it. Reached the hotel again about
6.00 P. M. and had supper a few minutes later.
July 18, 1904, Monday
Clear and warm. After breakfast at the Canada Hotel
I helped Fernald put away plants. At about 8.30
we went via buckboard to headland (Number 6) beyond
(Number 3) and collected awhile and then came back
to Number 3 and ate our lunch. Afterwards we made
a circuit of Cap Number3. and then drove back to
railway where I walked back to the curve beyond the
cut on the railway and took some pictures. After
supper I helped Fernald put away plants. After
that we packed trunks and had them taken to depot
for the 10.42 P. M. train. Charles Goodreau was
our driver for three days and Michel Pineau the
proprietor of the hotel.
