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.
