went over to camp - only Miss Barnard was
there, but "Elmira" & Flav. came while we sat in the boat visiting (some time)
coming thro' between big & little Otter we
met "Aunty" & "Uncle" &
Ralph & sat in the boat
half an hour visiting. They want to take us up to Blue
Mountain on Saturday, but the girls think it's too
much to get up early 3 mornings in succession. The Lake was like glass as
the girls rowed home. The sky gray and dark with one brilliant
streak and the reflected shores so big & black & deceptive.
I started steering for Boschink! It was rather late
where we got in, but
Dr. Lindsay & Mr. Taylor (the
actor - & now lay preacher) came down to get our boat in
Mr. J. & Mr. Tate were calling
upon us & we spent the rest of the evening on the piazza -
yarning & singing & chatting - Mr. L.
sang "Mrs. 'Awkins" and "Such a lovely girl"
&c. & began to tell me his Australian ex- periences, when
little by little everyone listened & he gradually did all the talking.
He told tales of being lost in the Australian bush - with
Boothby & almost dying for want of water
(their horses did die) & about travelling in an emigrant ship
& working their way in a tramp properen
1897.
