(No 10)
Lake Umbagog.
  About 3 P.M. the Whistler mother and her young 
reappeared off the main entrance to our cove outside the boom 
of logs that closes it. At first they were close in under the
lea of the island but the mother soon started out into
the lake where the wind was blowing almost a gale and
white caps rolling high.The young followed her for about
fifty yards. For a time they seemed to enjoy the buffeting
of the big waves which tossed them up & down like ch[?]s and and they even dove a few times for food.
But they soon became alarmed or apprehensive and turned
back leaving the mother. She called & called (the krur call)
to reassure them but they kept on to the island & she
finally followed them. As she was swimming in another adult
female Whistler swept down & hovered over her a moment
but did not alight. After the mother had joined her
young she started straight for the boom. It is four
logs wide with spaces of one or two feet between the logs.
