August 6, 1904, Saturday
Mostly clear in the early A. M. followed by cloudiness.
Fernald, Pease, and I got up about 5.30 A. M. and had
breakfast at the falls. I cooked our breakfast of
bullion, erbswurst, and beams. After breakfast we went
up the river for a quarter of a mile and climbed Mount
Balde' and later (ten o'clock) started down the river.
We stopped occasionally to collect but in the late P. M.
stops were infrequent due to lack of time. We reached
the mill on the Barachois about 8.00 P. M. and had
supper at 8.30 P. M.
August 7, 1904, Sunday
Clear and windy. Fernald, Pease, and I have been in
the house nearly all day taking care of the specimens
collected up river. In the late P. M. Pease and I
walked out on the Barachois.
August 8, 1904, Monday
Clear in the early A. M. - cloudy and rainy in the P. M.
and evening. Got up about 3.45 A. M. and had breakfast.
Fernald, Pease, and I then went over to the mill and
started up the river at 5.00 A. M. in canoes with the
same canoe men that we had on Friday and Saturday. We
collected considerably at the red sandstone slides and
bluffs on the right and also on the red sandstone cliffs
on the left just above the Bonaventure Fishing Club
camp. We went as far up as River Duval. I arrived
at 2.20 P. M. and Fernald and Pease at 3.40 P. M. We
started back from there about five o'clock and reached
the mill on the Barachois at 7.30 P. M. In the evening
helped Fernald put Phlegopeteris calcarea in press.
