GASPE' TRIP OF 1905 (from diary of J.F.Collins)
July 1, 1905, Saturday
In the late P. M. arrived at Orono, Maine. Fernald
met me at the depot and we walked up to the Orono
House where I engaged a room (#3) and had supper.
Later went to Fernald's house for a few minutes,
after which we walked up the river road for perhaps
a mile and back.
July 2, 1905, Sunday
Rainy all day. In the A. M. rode to Old Town and
back. In the P. M. rode to Bangor and walked to
depot. Could not find my trunk nor could the baggage
master. It had an excess baggage check on it. The
baggage man finally decided that it must have been
stolen. Got back to Orono at 5.40 P. M. and had
supper. Called at Fernald's to tell him of the loss
of my trunk. Had supper there.
July 3, 1905, Monday
Fair or mostly clear. Had breakfast at the Orono
House at 6.00 A. M. and then walked to depot. Got
a telegram saying that my trunk was "okay". Reached
Ft. Kent via regular train. Mr and Mrs. Emile
Williams and Miss Waring were on the train. Reached
Ft. Kent about 3.45 P. M. and went to the Dickey
House. Before supper Fernald, Williams, and I went
over on the ferry to Claibs, N. B. and back.
After supper we all walked up town and then called
on Mr., Mrs., and Miss Robbins.
