July 30, 1905, Sunday
Clear. Spent most of A. M. drying driers and
changing them. In the P. M. put plants collected
yesterday in press. Packed trunks and sent off
a box of plants to Cambridge. In the evening
walked about wharf a while and then went aboard
Str. "Gaspesien". Watched the "Lady Eileen" (ladies
aboard [?]) sail and then as it was very cold went below.
July 31. 1905, Monday
Clear. Got up on Str. "Gaspesien" at about 4.30
and went on deck. Stopped there most of the A.M.
enjoying the scenery. Reached Mt. Louis and went
to the bargeman's house (Mr. Bushier). In the
P. M. and again in evening we walked out and
examined cliffs, etc., for plants. Did not
seem to find a single characteristic plant and
we were much disappointed. Talked some of
driving to Ste. Anne des Monts and saw Mr Robinson
about it. Later decided to go in barge if sea
and wind were favorable.
August 1, 1905, Tuesday
Cloudy, windy, and cold. Walked to post office
after breakfast at Mont/ Louis and
At-Mont-Marie
I learned that a letter addressed to me had been
delivered to Mr. Alan G. Cameron, Superintendent
of Mont/Marie Seigniory, so called at his house
and got it. We started about 8.00 A. M. in a barge
with Mr./Bushier and another man for Ste. Anne
des Monts. We were practically becalmed for
an hour near Pt. de Chasse. The rest of the way
we had a good fair wind.
