Julien River.
Preparations began for dinner - a fire was made, wood chopped, fish caught, lunch unpacked &c. but our five decided to eat immediately & alone & I found a lovely dining room, under an oak, overlooking bay & cove & picnic rocks. Here we ate fried chicken & bread and jam & cookies & pickles & marmelade & milk and every thing nice that we had. The girls declared they never had a better dinner & I took Helen & Mary hugging each - other in delight, just after. Then Mary & Ned & I went fishing - Mary in mortal terror of her bait - a large, live crab which Mr. Myers had put on. We didn't catch anything but a breeze, coming back, which portended rain most emphatically. So we hauled up the boats & turned them over & stowed away cushions & lunch & took the portables up where the other boats were gathered debating whether to start for home or no. We advised them no & Mary & I informed of our house discovered in the morning. Where - upon a grand rush in that direction began - of the ladies afraid of thunder. The men followed & soon 21 of us and a large, fierce dog "Luther", were stowed away in Mrs. Jas. H. Little's small kitchen in "Julien Star".
