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.
