  With Jim Bernier I left Lakeside this morning
on the new steamer "Cambridge", a stern-wheel boat
about double the size of the "Aziscohos" - but of very much
lighter draught, built originally to run on the Androscoggin.
She is the property of Charlie Douglas, the Androscoggin
Lakes Transportation Company having ceased to run their
boats on this Lake. Mr. and Mrs. Ashley (from Meriden,
Conn.) who have been staying at Lakeside & Dr. Twaddell
of Bethel were the only other passengers. We reached
Pine Point at about 8.30 A.M. and found that
Charlie Tidswell and Will Sargent who had preceeded us
on Saturday (August 31) had the tents up and everything 
about the camp in fairly good order.

  I spent most of the day unpacking and arranging
my personal effects and laying out work for the men
but late in the afternoon I took a short sail in
the cruising canoe crossing the Lake to the Outlet &
Moose Point but seeing nothing of interest except a
Blue Heron, a Black Duck & three White-bellied Swallows.

  C. & E.R.S. arrived on the steamer at about 7 P.M.
They left Boston on Saturday spent Sunday at Rangeley
and came down across all the Lake & over the
Rapid River Carry to-day.
  The Point has not changed in the least since last
year. No trees of any size here died or fallen & our paths
are clear & firm. Some vandals from Upton killed all our
Partridges last autumn I hear. I examined the drumming
log carefully & found no signs of our bird's recent presence.
During the night (moonlight) I heard a Barred Owl & a Loon.
