July 16, 1904, Saturday 
Cloudy. After breakfast at Canada Hotel Fernald and 
I put av/ay such specimens as we had fed attend to and 
then rode on a buckboard to the Northeast, swung around 
a point, and drove out, to the first headland beyond. 
We explored that awhile ajad. then drove to the next 
beyond, which we also explored. We then drove across 
to the mainland to westward( Michaud's ) and thence 
on tfct the headlands which we were obliged to leave 
earlier than we wished on account of the rising tide. 
We then explored a steep ridge on the mainland four 
hundred and fifty feet above the road and five hundred 
feet above sea level. We took the Alpine rope and 
used it considerably at the summit getting Aspldlum 
Fragrans , Saxif raga , etc. , on the steep cliffs which 
were composed of loosely dislodged fragments in many 
places. After supper we took care of specimens so 
far as time would permit. Frenchmen in front of the 
hotel are having a celebration with fireworks.
