moon rise behind us &c.&c. It was really lovely. Got home about 10 very sleepy Aug 18 Fri

Iroquois won !

and were lazy this morning, naturally Busy at the office (we got the new P.O. regulations yesterday) Still negotiating with Anderson. Tonight Mother and I went up to Cro'nest and got Mal and went over to Highland Park to see the illumination of the fountain (which was really lovely) and hear the band. Was very tired and sleepy & bed was welcome. Aug 19 Sat. I wrote to Gertrude that I would come up to the Island and meet her if she came here by boat when I could. I got a letter saying she was coming by rail, but yesterday the Flack girls said they'd go, when we found we couldn't get a stateroom - Even thro' Frank Davis. "They'd been full a week on all boats going East" &c. &c. &c. We were rather disappointed & we tho' it was a breezy day, but this morning Amsden 'phoned he had a stateroom (given up by someone) so we suddenly decided to go. I flew up to Davis's from the office to read Helen's letter and Chat's & the Skipper's postals and then back to do cash accts. "pack" take a bath dress & fuss generally before an early supper. Started about 6:30
