1893  
Sept. 27.                                                                                     
Lake Umbagog, Maine  
Pine Point.
  Another beautiful day after the fog which was very heavy
in the morning, but cleared.
  H.M. Spelman came on the steamer and joined me at camp
at about 9. A.M.  We spent the morning getting his tent pitched
and his things arranged. In the forenoon we crossed to Moose
Point where I first beat the marsh in search of Snipe, flushing
two one of which I shot. The ground was in fine condition and
so thickly chalked that at first I supposed had been a
heavy flight of Snipe but the matter was explained when at                       
length I started a flock of fully thirty Grass Birds. As they
rose I made a double shoot and afterwards killed two more.

  We then took positions on the bank and waited for the even-                      
ing flight of Ducks. Only a few scattered birds came in.
Spelman Killed a Black Duck and I wounded a Wood Duck which went       
out over the water and was lost. A calm evening. Dytiscus           
beetle  rising and flying about.  Some small Bats also.
