Fernald, Pease, and I with Fred Kennedy and Richard 
McAuley as boatmen started the trip up the Douglas town 
River. We rode via team to near the head of the t>ay 
west of the barachois and there got a "flat" (i.e. a 
large dory) and started up the river. We did not get 
above the islands by noon and so ate our dinner. . At
