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.
