July 18. Cloudy. Very warm, 89° at 1 p.m. Fernald, Smith, Mackenzie 
and I worked on plant presses in a.m. and p.m. Fortin, Grissom, Dodge 
and Pease came in from Mt. Logan before noon and reported a satisfactory 
trip though very foggy part of the tine and a frost one night. Everybody 
"took it easy" about camp today trying to keep cool. Griscom, Smith, 
Fernald and Dodge sleeping in tent up the road tonight, and F’ortin is 
out of doors; the rest of us in cabin with all windows and door open. 
Thibault reached camp early in p.m. (?) from Cap Chat leading his horse 
but with no buckboard. He said the only road leading 
to the Locked Camp had slid into the riijer at the Salmon Camp some 5 miles 
down the river, and the road was impassable. We sent him back with Fortin 
and Dugas with directions to take the buckboard apart, bring it aogoss the. 
slide, put it together again, and bring it up to the camp. They returned 
with the buckboard before supper. 
July 19. Cloudy. Very mingy last night about the Locked Camp. We were 
packed^ ready to start down the river at 6.30 a.m. Left Locked Camp at 
about 7 a.m. and arrived at Emond’s for dinner (10-11 miles). At the 
Salmon Camp, 5 miles below the Locked Camp, the road for a distance of 
50 tb 75 feet had slid into the river, 100-150 feet below. We had to unpack 
all baggage and portage it across the break. The buckboard was then 
hauled across the slide with alpine ropes. Beached Cap Chat about 3 p.m. 
in autos from Emond’s. Got money from bank and wrote seme postal cards, 
then went on in motor bus to Ste. Anne des Monts (10 miles further eas4) 
from which point we intend to go up the Ste. Anne river to Mt. Albert.
