- May 20 - Mr. Littlejohn, Mr. Stephens and Al. Hasselborg went over west and south of the harbor to look for bear signs. They found only a few old ones and a deserted beaver meadow. I staid in camp and put up the beaver. - May 21 - Al. Hasselborg and I got up at 3 o'clock this morning, got Breakfast and started out for some lakes about 4 or 5 miles inland. We got to the lake about 6 o'clock and found an old Indian canoe that had not been used for some three years. Out the lake we saw a pair of loons several pair of geese and several male mallards. I saw about 12 bluejay about the lake and heard 4 or 5 woodpeckers. While we were looking for a goose nest a deer came up within about 100 yards and looked at us. We found several beaver lrones and I shot one while he was swimming.
