July 13, 1905, Thursday (Continued) by the minges, but when Mr. Willet told us we could use his camp Williams changed his mind. In the P. M. we all went up to Mirancy Brook and saw the falls and explored some. Later Fernald and I went to the falls of Turner's Brook, partly by canoe and partly by a path in the woods. Williams, Fernald, and I are to sleep in the cook's quarters, Mrs Williams and Miss Waring in a separate building and Mr. and Mrs. Oakes+ Ames on the piazza. The two lattar came on a special train (which they chartered) to Little Cascapedia last evening and up the river today arriving at Middle Camp in the late P. M. while Fernald and I were over at Turner Brook. July 14, 1905, Friday Occasional showers-after breakfast we all started up+ river and stopped about noon at the big Jonathan Brook for lunch. In the P. M. we pushed up three miles further to within about a mile of Tracady Camp (seven miles above Middle Camp) and then turned back. Stopped in Middle Camp and learned that there were no guests so we stopped there as we did the night before. Fernald and I sleep on the piazza tonight. July 15, 1905, Saturday Cloudy and partly clear. After breakfast we started down river reaching Scaumenac Brook Camp before noon. In the P. M. botanized about Scaumenac Brook Falls and later came down river to the railway bridge arriving there about 5.00 P. M. On the way down river we stopped at several cliffs and collected several ferns.
