Wea[ther] WED[nesday] SEPT[ember] 12, 1900 Ther[mometer]
  Cloudy with a violent gale
starting at about 10 A.M. & blowing
from the S[outh]w[est] until noon when it
changed to N[orth]w[est]. Some of the
small boats dropped their moorings
& ours went mostly ashore. The
house boat rode it out well but
her awning was frayed & torn.
We spent most of the day looking
after those matters. It was an 
exciting time.
Wea[ther] THURSDAY [September] 13[,] [1900] Ther[mometer]
  A gray day with light N[orth]w[est] to S[outh]w[est]
wind, the water & sky of nearly 
the same color.
  Spent most of the day on
the house boat writing letters
a long one to C[aroline] consuming most
of the afternoon.
  Immediately after dinner I walked
to the Museum lugging Hawks with the
Stones. The woods seemed lifeless
& gloomy.
Wea[ther] FRI[day] SEPT[ember] 14, 1900 Ther[mometer]
  Sunny, the sky half-filled with cloud
masses driven rapidly before the strong N[orth]w[est]
wind. Sunset very fine. Warm at midday
cool at sunrise & evening.
  The Stones & I with Jim left camp at
9 A.M., three in the big boat, I'm in the
little canoe & spent the day down the 
Androscoggin visiting [?] & Curtis
Meadows, taking a number of photos &
seeing many fine birds. Met Dutton &
Harry Russell opp[osite] Leonard's Pond. Back
to camp by twilight.
Wea[ther] SATURDAY [September] 15[,] [1900] Ther[mometer]
  Clear & calm with clouds gathering
late in P.M.
  We left camp at 9 A.M. the Stones
& Jim in the big boat, I'm in the
little canoe. Took the E[ast] shore &
followed it closely stopping several times
to photograph. Saw a fox hunting
mice in Glaspy Cove & several Sheldrake
elsewhere. Reached the end of [?]
Cove at noon & lunched there on the
sand bank. Called at [?] Isl[and] on
the return & the Duttons brought us back
to camp in their fine [?].
