Thursday June 16. Footed up my traps and when I had finished my work and packed some things 4 o'clock on left and started down the river at 4 P.M. Bear Rims enters a half mile below and its clear blue water remains distinct from the muddy water of the Machungie for several miles on the west side of Bear Rims. The waters of a small muddy stream are visible also keeping distinct for some distance. I soon passed the end of Bear Rock and facing the river is thick and nearly dead of trees presenting somewhat the same appearance that Roche Tompallian flows from its over side. A short distance below here I stopped for lunch. There was a recent track of a moose. The banks are gravelly or staly and much ice lay along shore a short distance below here. I passed a long low cliff when I saw a nest of alarm with young. A duck hawke was also flying about but apparently had not with as yet. A short distance below here, in just a short as it was raining heavily. I had come about 15 miles along the east bank
