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.
