August 29, 1904, Monday, (Continued) on the hurricane deck. Very rough during the early P. M. and many were sick including Fernald. Scenery extremely fine. Took quite a number of photographs. August 30, 1904, Tuesday Mostly fair and windy. Slept somewhat better last night than the night before. Spent most of the day on the hurricane deck of the "Gaspesien" with [illegible] and Prof. Edmunson. Fernald still seasick. Fernald and I got off at Father Point at 1.00 P. M. and walked some two or three miles to the railroad station at St. Anaclet where we boarded the 4. 18 P. M. train for Riviere du Loup, arriving there at about seven o'clock and at the Bellevue House at the point via carriage at 7.30 P. M. Had supper and was surprised to learn that the Saguenay boat had not yet gone. It was then too late to catch it as it was at the wharf. Had the same room at the hotel that we had had in July (#35). August 31, 1904, Wednesday Clear and cold. Before breakfast at the Bellevue House Fernald and I went down to the shore and collected 166 sets of Polygnum Fowleri. After breakfast we were driven over to the swamp at Cacouna and collected 100 sets of Pleurogyne, Spergularia, and a Juncus. In the P. M. spent time working on plants. At 5.00 P. M. we went down to wharf and took steamer "Virginia" to Tadousac, getting supper on the boat. At Tadousac we were driven to the Tadousac Hotel and spent the evening taking care of the plants collected at Cacouna.
