July 6, 1905, Thursday, (Continued)
At the Riviere- du- Loup depot Fernald went to get
some ginger- ale across the square and as he started
back with several bottles under his arm he saw the
train start out on a switch and supposing it was
leaving for Bic he ran to catch it. This shook up
the ale and the corks blew out and he dropped the
whole armful and just caught the train which then
backed into the regular station. At Bic we went
to the Canada Hotel. In the late P. M. we all
walked down to the headland at the pier. In the
evening Fernald and I worked on plants.

Cloudy but occasionally clear. Had breakfast about
7.00 A. M. before that Fernald and I worked on
plants. About 8.30 A. M. Williams, Fernald, and I
were driven in a carriage to the Cap east of
Michaud's where we collected until noon. We then
drove to Cap 6 and ate lunch by a spring and sorted
plants collected. Later we botanized about a cliff
to the westward. Came back to Michaud's where our team
was waiting and drove home. Put our trunks into
sample room and worked there until dark.
