bade them an affectionate goodbye. I gave Hilda my
Lakefield pin & she & Maude both promised me their pictures
(so did Mr. D.,
of himself &
wife) They were the last ones on the train & we rushed for the flat
baggage cart - which jolted us over to the "Majestic" (amid the
cheers of the populace) which had been whistling for us some time. When we
got on they started. We sat on the bow - or near it - till the wind
got too strong. Then went to the cabin & played Pedro till
Mary wanted fresh air & then went
way aft in the "cubby" and were comfy till
Mary began to feel seasick & went on
deck.
Ned & I staid there till we nearly
reached the store - & had a jolly time. At the store we bought
raisins & almonds of "Bobby" and after awhile we were let

rowed home arriving before the first dinner bell. Mrs.
Pond said it had been "very quiet" all the morning. Dinner
tasted first rate & the clouds began to clear away (we caught a
glimpse of the eclipse of the sun, coming up.) and after dinner
Ned took us fishing. That is, she &
Edith fished & I took an
umbrella & "Plain Tales from the Hills",
and Mary a letter to write. They fished all
around an island and then we
