We left North lake with canoe and went to the west end of 

 East Bearskin. Saw a calf moose in Flour lake. We cached 

 the canoe and walked from there to South Brule cabin, where 

 we spent the night. I noticed at Martin portage that the 

 beavers have raised the water about 14 inches since I was 

 there a month ago. We saw very few partridge on this trip, 

 and the trout are not biting 1 at all. 



Spent night at Grand Marais, 7/29/15. SW. wind. 



Left South Brule cabin at 7:30 a. m. and walked to G. M. 

 Fixed the line in one place on Maple hill, and cut some trees 

 off of it on the short-cut or hurry-up trail. Got in town at 1 

 p. m. Very warm and looked like rain. Stayed home the rest 

 of the afternoon, and read over the mail and rested up. 



Spent night at G. M., 7/30/15. SW. wind. 



Worked at the office; fixed up the fire reports that were 

 returned to me. Went out to the boat to see if it leaked much 

 while we were out on the trip north. Found very little water 

 in her and the engine in good shape. I expect Ranger Linder 

 on tonight's boat. 



Spent night at Two Harbors, 7/31/15. Wind, a. m., SE.; p. 

 m., E. 



Mr. Linder and I left G. M. at 8:15 a. m. with motorboat and 

 ran to Two Harbors. Arrived there at 6:30 p. m. Made a 

 very good run. It was getting quite rough on the lake before 

 we struck Two Harbors. We never stopped from the time we 

 left G. M. until we got to Two Harbors. Had supper uptown 

 and went to the show. Then we went back to the boat and 

 lay down until 2 a. m., Sunday morning. 



Spent night at G. M., 8/1/15. Wind, a. m., NW.; p. m., NE. 



Left Two Harbors at 2 a. m. and arrived in Duluth at 5:30 

 a. m. Showed Ranger Linder all I knew about running the 

 boat. Went uptown and had breakfast, and waited till the 

 North shore boat started for G. M. Left Duluth at 10:30 a. 

 m. and arrived in G. M. about 9 p. m. It got very rough on 

 the lake before we got into G. M. I helped a lot of the other 

 passengers to feed the fish.
