September 1, 1904, Thursday
Cloudy. In the evening slightly rainy once or twice.
Got up at Tadousac Hotel about 6.00 A. M. and walked x
around outside awhile. Had breakfast at 7.30 A. M. and
then Fernald and I walked around Old Tadousac awhile and
then along the beach to a point southeast of the hotel,
then up over the sand dunes and back. Took several
pictures. Had dinner at 1.00 P. M. and then rode to the
dock and boarded the steamer "Virginia" for Quebec (we
had had our tickets changed). At Tadousac we met
Mrs. Kennard and her two daughters who came down the
Saguenay on the way to Boston. Had supper on the
steamer. At Murray Bay we all walked up the Murray Bay
Hotel as the Kennards were expecting mail. Fernald and
I have stateroom #109.
September 2, 1904, Friday
Cloudy all day. Awoke on the steamer "Virginia" at
four or five o'clock in Quebec City. Fernald and I
walked to the "Gaspesien" office and found it locked
so we returned to the RĂ¡ch. & Ont. dock and hired a man
and team to go to the "Gaspesien" dock. We got our
trunks although only the watchman was there. We had
them taken to the Quebec Central Ferry and there waited
for the baggage room to open. At 7.15 we had our baggage
examined and checked to Boston. Mrs. Kennard and her
two daughters came along with us to Jefferson Junction
as did Pease, although we did not discover him on the
train for some time. Took a few pictures at Quebec.
Foggy in the mountains so we had no very fine views there.
Changed cars at Dudwell Junction, Fabyans, Portland.
