- June 1- We packed up and started for Mole Harbor this morning. We found a large beaver in one of our traps and some thing had been caught in the other trap but the spring had broken and the trap was gone. It was a No.4. Newhouse too. We had dinner at the portage between the lakes. Mr. Littlejohn caught 20 fine trout in as many minutes. We got back to Mole Harbor about 5:30 in the afternoon. - June 2- Laid around camp most of the day. Yesterday as we came down we came across a little meadow full of little pools of water. I saw some thing jump off the bank and dive and as the legs worked so foot under water I thought that it was a queer kind of a toad. I went around on the other side and found that it was a meadow mouse We had deliberately dove and swam 6 or 8 feet under water. .
