  Another wild, windy day, the sky filled with masses
of rainy clouds amid which the sun by turns shone and
hid his face.

  At daybreak a Black Duck quacked loudly and incessantly
out on the pond until Baker, starting forth in his
boat to try the trout again, disturbed and drove
him away. 
  By 8 A.M., the camp was dismantled and everything packed
in the boats and we started down river. It was a
hard chance for photographs but I kept taking them,
nonetheless, and again fell fell behind the rest of the party.

  We came together at the Meadow Camp, however, and
at Lincoln Brook where we stopped for lunch.
  The afternoon was spent in rowing down to Aziscohos Falls
where Flint met us and took us & the boats to
his house for the night.
  The distances covered to-day were as follows.
Metalluc Upper Pond to Meadow Camp 3 miles
Meadow Camp to Lincoln Brook 31/2 miles
Lincoln Brook to Aziscohos Falls 121/2 miles
Total - 19 miles
  Below the "Narrows", where the river passes through a
narrow channel between two ledges, the scenery is
comparatively unattractive if not, in places, positively
dreary for the river banks are fringed with long
rows of dead or dying trees killed by the back
water from the dam below. Nonetheless the 
views of the mountains are constantly changing
& some of them are very beautiful.
