Sunday July 19. The wind blew hard all Day and our canoe not move. I collected Some plants and we set a net and took one white fish. The only birds seen were one or two Herring Gulls, a young Small sparrow, and a female Am. Goldenege. We hoped to have a calm night but were disappointed and were forced to spend another night on the Island. Monday July 20. As the wind had changed during the night and was coming from the cast, we left and sailed before it to the nearest islands, hoping to find a sheltered Channel behind them which would enable us to proceed but after exploring the only Morning field and finding it would lead us too far from our course we had to stop, as the open lake to the west & Northwest is far too rough to allow Handling of our canoe which is quite heavily loaded. In hope to remain therefore until calmer weather. On the larger Island where we now are, one of the very numerous Simpson Group. I give the following plants noted on the island yesterday: Pinnisimicenta Simar almobetela. Amelanchier, Prunus Penn. (with maple spurt.) Lepargyrace, Limirea Nymphias, Castalia, Sumijunus Hacembebs The Dipyg has a stick in a dead topped Spruce at the Water's edge. and a jony-chicked thrush was observed. Some plants were collected. We held our selves in readiness to start in the morning. But the indications not being favorable we went to bed. Tuesday July 21. At Six o'clock the wind had abated considerably so we made ready to start and left Camp at 7. aWe landed north- waterward near the edge of the islands and made good progress until about noon when the wind which had again risen almost to gale, forced us to camp on a small island with only a few trees. We on made ourselves as comfortable as possible and awaited a change. The wind increased in fury and at night fall shows no signs of abating; so we are again delayed.
