The Lincoln Pulp- wood Co. again rushed all the men from their camps to this fire. It was out by night. I went there at once and found that this fire was in old cuttings and did no damage to the woods, but burned a little pulp. The cause of this fire is unknown. On January the 30th I went to Island Falls and bought a gaso- line motor boat for the Forestry Department and hauled it to Grand Lake Sebois. This boat has a six-horsepower Grey engine; I have found this boat a great help, as Grand Lake Sebois is six miles long and we had nothing but an eighteen-foot canoe to use for fire purposes. On February the eighteenth I began to build boxes to store fire-fighting apparatus in for use in their several places. 1 built five good pine boxes 8 feet long by 2 feet 6 inches wide by 2 feet 8 inches high. I painted them red and put them in the following places: One at McCarty Camp at 5, Range 11; one at. CUT-OVER LAND. t left after diameter limit cutting. Some loss from windthrow is apparent.
