July 9. Fair and warmer in a.m. Gioudy and rainy in late p.ra. We all stayed 
in camp in a.m. taking care of specimens collected yeaterday. Dodge, Smith 
and I mowed our tent to a new location which was less likely to be moist 
in^case oi' rain. In p.m. Fernald, Pease, Griscom an d Smith went over to 
Kettle Gully collecting. Dodge, McKenzie and 1 stayed in camp and made up 
records and rested some. ^Fortin and Thibault cut out^trail through the 
to the -g ha.se of the'Xsteep slope below iernald Pass, up 
we went yesterday, (l^'aTm^ncr'early p3v> They returned soon after 
Fernald’s party left for KeFtTe^GuTTyT After resting awhile all that£ 
"guides” decided to go down to the Locked Gamp, stay over night, and bring 
up three pack loads of supplies tomorrow a.m. They left before Pernald’s 
party returned. 
July 10. Oloudy and cold. Spent most of a.m. taking care of specimens 
collected by F e mald’s Mettle Gully party yesterday. We all had an early 
dinner (11.30 a.m.) and then went collecting. Pernald, Smith, McKenzie 
and 1 went as one party to a ravine east of Mettle Gully and later to 
chimney east of Big Ghimney. Pease, Griscom and Dodge went to Big Ghimney. 
We collected considerable material, but nothing startling. Fortin, 
Thibault and Dugas got back to camp about an hour after we left and went 
up to continue work clearing out the trail up the steep slope below Pernald 
Pass. We did not see than until supper time when we all foregathered for 
that welcome pastime. 
July 11. Bainy and cold last night, and cold, rainy of very threatening all 
day. All of us stayed in camp all day taking care of specimens, the three 
"guides" going up to finish the trail to the top of Fernald pass and to 
locate a favorable campsite for our next camp, and to cache such things 
as they would not need here at the basin camp tonight. They did not get 
back until about suppertime. 1 seem to have a cold which affects my eyes. 
Have used boric acid and taken two figpirin tablets. 
July 12. Mostly clear. Everybody rested and again in good trim. As there 
was every prospect of the day being fine for photography it was decided that 
Pease, Dodge, Smith and 1 should drop all camp duties and make an early 
start for the real Mt. Logan, sgxwgxggixstartBgx while the others broke camp 
after having attended to the plants in press, and proceed slowly up to the 
new campsite in Pernald Pass. We got off at 8.10 a.m. from the basin camp 
and reached Pernald Pass at 10.35 and located the cache and campsite 
selected yesterday by Fortin. We immediately pushed on to the top of Mt. 
Logan where we arrived at 1.40 p.m., going along the Osmunda meadows at 
the east end of Mt. Fortin and up the northeast shank of Mt. Logan, follow¬ 
ing a brook part of the way. Aneroid said 3900 feet for top of Logan, but 
this will probably have to be considerably increased as all the readings 
of my aneroid appear to be loWer than Goleman’s whenever he has checked 
on altitudes we have measured. Distance by pedometer from Fernald Basin 
camp to Fernald Pass camp about 3 miles, and from Fernald Pass camp to the 
top of Mt. Logan about 3 3/4 miles. Found an immense cirque with great 
cliffs and a cascade estimated to be 600 to 700 feet high, several large 
areas of snow, alpine meadows, and a hanging valley, to the east of Logan, 
between there and Mt. Pembroke. :2am* [Later this cirque basin was called 
Pease Basin]. Game back in nearly a straight line frrm the top of Mt. 
Logan to the new camp at Fernald Pass with Pease as pathfinder. Fernald, 
Griscom and McKenzie botanized on the shank of Mt. Mattaouisse and on 
Mt. Fortin in p.m. Gamp located on a ferny shelf iOsmunda Glaytoniana) 
near Fernald Lake.
