Port Frederick On July 25 we again made camp in Port Frederick. This body of water extends farther west than is shown on the "Survey Maps" and there is a 60 yard portage connecting it with Tenahee Inlet near its head. We made camp about 3 miles below the portage which was being quite frequently used by Indians at this time. It rained every day, except one, that we stayed there, and few mammals were caught. Shrews were not common and Peromyscus were scarce. Bear had been feeding in the various salmon streams, but they came down during the night and were not at all plentiful as we hunted all week and didn't see any. Three bucks were seen together in a meadow near the top of the mountain. Their horns were still in the velvet on July 30. Birds were a little more numerous and we observed the following.
