August 14, 1905 j Monday, (Continued) 
I got back about 7.00 P. M. Fernald not back yet. 
Temperature 42 degrees on the summit at 5*30 P.M2. 
Snow still lingers in sheltered spots. 
August 15, 1905, Tuesday 
Clear and cold. Got up about 3«30 A. M. on 
account of the cold. Got up for good around five 
o'clock. Fernald and 1 worked on plants until 
1 / 
10.30 A. M. when Edward and Hector Gagnon went 
down the mountain with packs. About noon Fernald, 
Joe, Cote', and I started down the mountain. 
We kept along together until nearly down to where 
the trail runs close to the brook(2100 feet). 
Fernald and I then went down the brook* instead 
of the trail collecting until we reached the point 
where the trail crosses the stream (about 1200 feet). 
We followed the trail to a "Blowdown" where we 
lost it. Swinging east and then south we followed 
down the same brook that we had been following 
further up, to the Ste. Anne River at the forks. 
Hard travelling from there to the damp, for perhaps c 
a quarter of a mile. Very warm. Growing cold 
and chilly. After awhile (after supper) we builfi 
up a big camp fire and toasted out before going 
to bed. Flies bad on Macoun's Brook today. Cold 
in the evening.
