Fernald, Pease, and I had an early breakfast and about 6.45 A. M. started for Belgium in a carriage via Caplin River. We drove along the shore to Caplin River and then turned north for ten miles and finally walked 2 miles to the Bonaventure River where we met our four men with the two canoes. We had dinner and then were poled up the river a quarter of a mile above the launching place. We ascended part way up a mountain and stopped occasionally elsewhere between five and six o'clock. We reached the falls at the forks of the Bonaventure River soon afterwards and had supper and camped there for the night. The canoe men occupied one cabin and Fernald, Pease and I occupied the other.
