Saturday morning 30th September 1820. Fair weather.-

After repairing our canoes, which, in consequence of the low water, are very much worn with the rocks in passing the shoals and rapids, we embark at 8.A.M. and proceed up River.

From Madawamkeag to Madasienk Rips, the River is wide and still water, fine gravelly and sandy shores, good land on both sides, particularly on the east.- The Penobscot Indians own this land from the 5 Islands thence up River 6 miles the north line of the 2 Townships is 1/2 mile above Madaseunk Rips.-

The land appears to be very good on each side the River from Salmon Stream up to Neckeetow.

We this day are obliged several times to lighten our canoes and haul them up the rapids and over the sand and several bars, of which there are many from Madawam-keag to Neekeetow.-

We arrive at a point on the West side of the River below and near Neekeetow Island and camp at 6.P.M.
