August 8 Thursday – At Bar Harbor, Maine at 2:30 p.m. on the Kanawha Sam wrote to Livy.

“Livy dearest, the anchor is just down, & we shall go ashore presently. I shall telegraph you where to telegraph me—Halifax, probably. We still cannot make an itinerary. We shall leave word here (as we did in Portland) to hold letters & telegrams till we know of some sure point to send them to.”

Sam also included a “Captain’s Report to Commodore Rogers” on the behavior of each of the passengers, with maximum of 100 points: Dr. Clarence C. Rice 13, Harry Rogers 15, Thomas B. Reed 15½, Col. Augustus G. Paine 19, Mr. Clemens 101 [MTP].

The Kanawha continued on to St. John, New Brunswick where Sam got Livy’s telegram in the afternoon

[Aug. 9 to Livy].
