August 25, 1888

We strike Lake Superior this morning + pass over heavy railway works skirting along deep bays studded with [inlands], cuding across peninsulas, crossing ravines over high trestles, though tunnels and rock cuts, in and out of woods give animation to the fleeting panorama. The last time I passed here nature was still sleep, the trees were devoid of foliage snow covered the ground in many places + ice still held [savor] on the lake so that the scene was rather dreary and not imbued with the life we see today. At 3-15 pm we were at Port Arthur + when I found my-self in my old quarters – The Northern – I fell for-lorn – above all – Marie was not [t]here – I walked onto the verandah where she was want to sit – but now all faces are strange. Dr + Mrs. (49_ Lehmen – acquaintances left by H paul yesterday, Mr. + Mrs. [Zimmerman] have moved into their new house, only I am here. Glad I [gave] [beliriupy] I would not have felt this for there Marie has never been with me. To relieve myself [Simental] I called on Mrs. [Zimmerman] who was very glad to see me and expressed her sorrow that marie had left for when she had gained such a strong attach-ment in the short time. She was pleased to receive from me on eof my Rocky Mt. photographs as trans-parency. On the return called on Mr. P in his office. I took tea with M. Bishop. In evening I observed for time for [augitment] of instruments.
