Do want a vacation at home or in Canada. May be won't need
it after ride on steamer. Finished Height of Land portage and came
on to place where we dried caribou (second time), at head of
Ptarmigan Lake. I caught four fish, small trout, while Wallace was
going back for rifle, which he had left at far end of small lake.
Wallace came back with partridge. This delayed us and we did not
reach good fishing rapid. Hoped to get trout there. Did catch a
few before - failed to-night. Bright crisp day too. George very
blue in consequence. Wallace and I not worried. Pea meal down to
less than two pounds. No other food save tea. Thinking much of
home and M., and our plans and old friends. I want to keep better
in touch with relatives everywhere and the country. How I wish for
that vacation in Michigan or Canada! or a good quiet time at
Congers, and I am aching to write home sketches and stories that
have come to my mind. We talk much of future plans, and the camp
fire continues to be a glorious meeting place.
Friday, October 9th. - Reached good fishing hole at rapid where we
caught so many trout on way up. Got about fifty in P.M. Glorious,
crisp fall day. Dried blankets. Fifteen trout lunch; twelve
supper; then six roast before bedtime. Disappointing. Hoped for
some to dry.
