English Bay Sunday June 28.
Had no chills nor fever today.
Very weak but began to get an appetite,
and eat a good dinner at Malouin's
and a hearty supper at Rouges.
Did not set off until 10 A.M. and
after that all went better. Walked
towards English Head and later with
Rouges to Lake Plancan to gather
some of the first water shells smaltling
the bottom. This is a meal with the top
layer one mass of shells, of Physa
in the main. Also got a number
of yellow orchids Cypripedium.
The finest day and the warmest
on Anticosti. Not too warm for me.
