Lake Umbagog.
1898.
August 27
  Clear and cool with strong west wind. The
sunset was unusually fine.
  Spent most of the day sailing on the
Lake taking the house boat out in the
afternoon. Saw nothing of much interest.
A flock of seventeen Black Ducks, the first
that I have noted this season, passed
over us late in the afternoon when we
were off Pine Point coming directly over
one of the canoes within good gunshot
- a most exceptional occurance.
