July 11, 1905, Tuesday (Continued) Train and dinner at Little Cascapedia, just before we reached New Richmond. A woman and a baby were thrown off the train by a curve but were practically unharmed. In the P. M. worked on the plants and Grand Cascapedia later packed some for the trip up/ river tomorrow. In the evening we walked to the spring on the shore. July 12, 1905, Wednesday Clear or fair. Started for Scaumeac Brook about 9.00 A. M. Had a team for baggage go along. We reached the camp at Scoumeac Brook before noon and ate dinner there. We then started up the river (Grand Cascapedia) in five canoes. Mrs. Williams and Miss Waring went in one canoe with two Harrison brothers as canoe-men. Williams had Robertson and Barter as canoe-men- Fernald had Cronier and Carey- I with Bois and Cyr and baggage with Mr. Dimock and another man. We reached a tent some four miles up the river late in the P. M. and decided to stop there for the night. The two ladies had the tent and the rest of us had lean- to's. Black flies, minges (sand-flies), and mosquitoes were very thick. July 13, 1905, Thursday Rainy all night and most of day. Got up at 4.00 A.M. on account of the minges which had been all too numerous all night. Had breakfast at 6.00 A. M. and started up the river soon afterwards, botanizing as we went. Reached Middle Camp in middle of forenoon and as the guardian, Mr. Wellet, said we could use his quarters tonight we decided to do so. Williams decided to go down river as he was very badly poisoned-
