ARKIVAL AT NEW YORK. 309 



from which Audubon wrote his episode of the Bay of Fundy. 

 The day was passed in rambling in search of birds in this vicinity. 

 The record for the day concludes : " We intended to have paid our 

 respects to Mr. Halliburton, author of the ' Description of Nova 

 Scotia/ and other works, but we learned that he was in Boston, 

 where I heartily wislied myself. 



" Eastjpori, Maine, August 31, 1833. We arrived here 

 yesterday afternoon in the steamer Maid of the Mist, all well. 

 We left Windsor a quarter before twelve, and reached St. John's, 

 New Brunswick, at two o'clock at night ; passed Cape Blow-me- 

 Down, Cape Split, and Cape D'Or; the passengers were few, 

 and we were comfortable. We traversed the streets of St. 

 John's by moonlight, and in the morning I had the pleasure to 

 meet my friend Edward Harris, and to receive letters from 

 home ; and I am now preparing to leave for Boston as soon as 

 possible." 



The account of the voyage concludes with this sentence: 

 " We reached New York on the morning of the 7th of Sep- 

 tember, and, thank God, found all well. I paid the balance of 

 the Eipley's charter (eight hundred and sixty-two dollars), and 

 a balance of four hundred and thirty dollars to Dr. Parkman, 

 which he advanced to Dr. Shattuck for me. And I was not very 

 •well pleased that nearly the whole burden of the Labrador 

 voyage was put on my shoulders, or rather taken out of my 

 poor purse ; but I was silent, and no one knew my thoughts on 

 that subject."
