July 27, 1904, Wednesday
Cloudy, warm, and showery. Before breakfast Pease and I
worked on plants. At 7.30 A. M. Fernald arrived from
Dalhousie on the "Admiral". Worked until 10.30 A. M.
on plants and then Fernald, Pease, and I started for the
cedar swamp on the road to Tracadigash Mountain. After
botanizing there an hour or more a heavy thunderstorm
passed over. I happened to have an oil coat with me but
Fernald or Pease did not have one so they removed their
clothes and put them in their waterproof rucksacks during
the shower. They said that big rain drops felt like hail
stones but after the shower they had some dry clothes to
put on. Later in the P. M. we came back to the cedar
swamp via the railway track and botanized there until past
five o'clock. We then returned to the hotel and took care
of the specimens.

some two miles from the station, near the shore. After
dinner we stayed about the house until the trunks came and
then I went with one of Mr. Robertson's sons and looked
up some conoemen for a trip up the Little Cascapedia River
tomorrow. I finally engaged Joe Querry and John Burton
