Transcription
August 18th. In flowery, luxuriant wildness plants showing proximity to the sea. A tall Echinopanax, like Alaskan somewhat, but with much more divided leaves. Oak dentata, birch 2 species, one or two species of Tillia, poplar, wild apple, plum, hazel, grape vine, etc. rank ferns. Great development of stratified drift, looks in general like Puget Sound. Foggy, about 6:00 A.M. the great bay-fiord with ships coming to view and running around the shore. Arrive at Vladivostock soon after 7:00 A.M. and take rooms at the Grand Hotel, tired, half-starved, the last eight days, having slept in our clothes. Wash and feel better, but the hotels here are poor as to food and we have little hope of mending
