New Haven, May 30-1908
Left for Montreal via Springfield
at 5.45 P.M. One hour wait at the
latter place where we gets the sleeper.
The route is via Bellows Falls, Rutland, and
Burlington to Montreal.
May 31 - 1908
Arrived at 7.11. A.M. after a good nights
rest in the Sleeper.
Transferred my baggage to the C.P.R., Paz
dever Station for Quebec.
The day is dark and almost rainy. Started
out to see the city. Looked up McGill University
and took two photos of Peter Redpath Museum.
Then climbed up to the top of Mount Royal
said to be 800' above the sea or 700' above the
river. If the day was clear the outlook would
have been great. Mount Royal is situated almost
alone in a quiet plain through which flows the
St. Lawrence. Far over on the South side of
the river can to be seen the Lachine Mts.
