- May 19 - We got up at 3 o'clock and started to get our things ready. It was good daylight at 3 o'clock and the sunrise at 10 minutes before 4. We had break- fast and soon had thing loaded. We left camp at 5:30. When we got down to the end of Tideman Island it began to breeze up and there was quite a chop running. The canoe was partially loaded and didn't tow well and finally flopped around and filled with water! Mr. Littlejohn rushed aft to right the canoe and in his haste missed his hold and fell overboard almost backward. He luckily managed to grasp one of the tow lines as he came up and was almost aboard again by the time the launch could be stopped. The canoe capsized again later and me lost several things. We made Mole Harbor about 10:30 and started camp on the north side of the harbor. Miss Alexander went on down to Pleasant Bay to get some grub.
