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. July 7, 1905, Friday 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. July 8, 1905, Saturday Very warm in the A. M. turning suddenly cold in the P. M. Cloudy and in the showery .. In early A.
