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".
