We arrived at Oboljockmajessick at 2.P.M.- The wind blew very hard from N.W. made it very difficult to ascend the River among the rocks- stop here and get dinner.- Capt. Francis and Louis Neptune overtake us here and propose going on to Ktadne Mountain- The Indians think the water is so extremely low that it will be very difficult if not impossible to ascend the River to Cheesuncook until the water rises which they think will not be more than two days.-

Deeming it important to get all the information respecting the Country about Ktadne I conclude to ascend the mountain where I can obtain much accurate information as to the number of Lakes and their names and bearing from Ktadne- as also the quality of the land in that vicinity- the loss of time can be very trifling compared with the advantages to be gained- and accordingly accompanied by Mr. Holyoke, Neptune, F. Lolon and L. Neptune, we leave the River to ascend the mountain at 1/2 past 3 P.M.- travelled North Easterly over very rough rocky burnt land first rising a great Hill the summit of which is 2 or 3 miles from the River, then descending a little to a stream from the Mtn called A,bal,jok,ma,ges,sick, where we camp being about 4 miles from the River.
