July 21, 1904, Thursday
Cloudy and showery in the P. M. several times.
Cooler. Had a breakfast at Allard's, Nouvelle,
of oatmeal porridge and raspberry jam and afterwards Fernald and I changed driers and dried them again. At 10.10 A. M. or thereabouts we came
via railway to Carleton. Took carriage from depot
to Cullen's Hotel situated about one hundred feet
from the shore of Chaleurs Bay. Had our trunks
put in an empty store next to the hotel where we
planned to work. In the P. M. Fernald and I walked
out on the first point beyond the light-house
botanizing. After supper Fernald took care of the
plants.
July 22, 1904, Friday
Cloudy most of the day. Several light showers during
the A. M. About 9.00 A. M. Fernald and I went along
the road to the east and thence onto the salt
marshes just west of Tracidigash Point. In P. M.
we rode via carriage to the base fpf Tracidigash
Point and botanized there all day until the carriage
came for us about five o'clock. We got more than
one hundred specimens of Botrychrum lunaria and
several other interesting plants. Saw scores of
blue herons, white herons, and red herons. In the
evening while Fernald was taking care of his plants
I gave my shoes(tan) a good coat of grease.
