Sand dunes, some to elevations from 100 ft. The topography is rugged of all kinds of rounded thirty hills. No farming, are fishing hereabouts. August 8, Wednesday Left in a fog at 9.45 for Portland where we are scheduled for 4 P.M. They won't make it. The steamer is densely crowded, mostly for Portland, but the boat goes on to Bangor. Arrived at about 5:30 P.M. Could not get in the Congress Square Hotel or four of at the Pubble - not a first class place. August 9. Thursday. Portland. At 9.15 in a little steamer - the Tourist - started to see the islands of Casco Bay. A fog is on and I hoped it would clear away but it did not drop until late in the afternoon. Saw little of the bay.
