Train and dinner at Little Cascapedia,, Just before 
we reached New Richmond^ A woman and a baby were 
thrown off the train by a curve but were practically 
unharmed. In the P. M. worked on the plants and 
Grand Cascapedia 
later packed some for the trip up-/ river tomorrow. 
In the evening we walked to the spring on the shore.

9.00 A. M. Had a team for baggage go along. We 
/Vjj 
reaehed the camp at Scoumeac Brook before noon and 
ate dinner there. We then started up the river 
(Grand Cascapedia) 
in five canoes. Mrs. Williams and Miss Waring went 
in one canoe with tiio Harrison brothers as canoemen. 
Williams had Robertson and Barter as canoemen- 
Fernald had Cronie^nd Carey- I with Bois and Cyr 
and baggage with Mr. Dimock and another man. We 
reached a tent some four miles up the river late in 
the P. M. and decided to stop there for the night. 
The two ladies had the tent and the rest of us had 
lean- to's. Black flies, minges(sand- flies), and 
mosquitoes were very thick. 
July 13, 1905, Thursday 
Rainy all night and most of day. Got up at 4.00 A.M. 
on account of the minges which had been all too 
numerous all night. Had breakfast at 6.00 A. M. and 
started up the river soon afterwards^, botanizing as 
we went. Reached Middle Camp in middle of lorenoon 
and as the guardian, Mr Welle t , said we couldjtase 
his quarters tonight we decided to do so. Williams 
decided to go down river as he was very badly poisoned
