We arrive at the Pond at 1/2 past 11. A.M. and take a sketch of the Pond from the mouth of Milenogick then proceed up the Pond and River to the Grand Falls- here we see Nature's curious work. On each side is a bluff head of Slate Stone for several rods below the fall which appears to have been worn up Stream, and the appearance of the water weaving the rocks 20 feet above the level of the water, the rocks cut and carved into all shapes large holes gutted and worn down- the river at falls narrows to 10 rods wide and at the fall which is nearly perpendicular over a ledge across the river is not more than 100 ft wide and falls about 15 feet, the fish go over these falls- this is a famous place for taking fish- from the head of the Pond round to the Portage is about 5 miles, and from Grand falls is almost one continued fall or rapid, the whole decent in this distance is nearly two hundred feet- The soil is very rough rocky and poor- growth pine spruce and hemlock and mixed hard woods- We arrived at the Portage and met Neptune at 6. P.M.- having sketched the River to the Portage- carried canoe more than one mile in the distance up- River rough and large rocks- water low.
