June 17. Lost only a small catch mammals including [illegible] & Metomp and about two Scuro and took a number of birds. Partially packed all our dry specimens To Crane at Smith Landing until we come out. Have made arrangements to start tomorrow across the Fortage to Fort Smith. June 18. Took some micros and took up an frogs and opy to Smith Landing. Left there about 11.30 for Ft Smith 16 miles over a cart road. I walked in orderts make observations and Take photos during the First 6 or 7 miles a number of campers passed. Then The road passes over a sandy rolling Country, wooded with Pine. The last few miles is over a nearly level Country. Wooded with poplar and Birch. A march with a series of Cakes in it is passed just before reaching Fort Smith, extending two or three miles# parallel to the road on the left. We reached Fort Smith, situated on a high sandy bluff near the river at the lower mouth of the Smith Rapid. Between the high bank and the river the ground is quite sleek and is wooded mainly with spruce and tamarisk. As we had to wind out Canna before seeing it we did not find a camp ing place but slept at the bank of the river near the N. B. Les Warehouse. We set some traps here as Mice seemed to be abundant. Many birds, elsewhere provided were abound on the road one. Pelican are said to be abundant on the river in the rapid.
