May 7. I was very stiff and lame this morning when I got 

 up, some of which could be blamed on the bad weather 

 of yesterday but most to the long day in the rumble seat* 

 I spent the morning transferring my entire catch to the 

 large vials, packing them for transportation to Washing- 

 ton and refilling the smaller vials for reuse in the 

 field* In the afternoon went into Kingston to get more 

 money from the Royal Bank of Canada* Afterward I went 

 to the Myrtle Bank for a swim which made me feel much 

 better* Had an early dinner and went to bed early* 



May 8* First thing in the morning I wrote letters to 

 Clara and Lucy and also one to Mary Savariau in which 

 I suggested that I might spend the night at Kensworth 

 on the 14th* Took net and went back to Ferry River 

 where I took another of the Scarabs as well as several 

 other good things* Am still lame and very glad the trip 

 to Cinchona has had to be postponed a day. Lewis can f t 

 get away and Swabey f s wife became ill yesterday and he 

 doesn't dare leave Kingston. Still raining hard in the 

 mountains. Another swim and sun bath. 



May 9* Lewis called early to say that we would meet at 



Forester f s cabin at Cinchona (C. B. Lewis)* 



his house at 8 AM. We were delayed by nails in Lucille f s 

 shoes and didn f t start until 8*30. We stopped en route 

 to buy gasoline, flashlight cells, cigarettes and to 

 pick up the mule hampers and blankets at Swabey f s. He
