Showery today – Mary & I were
on the beach in the morning and got changed
under Mrs. Crocker’s tent once or twice. I read
“Red Pottage” and watched the big breakers (which kept
chasing us) and the McDavitt baby “Billy” in
her funny overall costume. Afterward we had a magnificent bath – down
by the tent. The breakers were so large we didn’t go in far, but
staid in a long time – ever so many got “boiled” in the surf –
Miss “Kitty” Getty among the number - after
dinner – tho’ it still threatened We had “Lady” around and drove to
“town” all but a mile and a half is a fine state
road straight across the moor – but that mile and a half – oh me oh
my! – It’s terrible especially, coming home – in the pouring rain!
We didn’t get any rain till we got to town & drove up around the
old windmill – then it poured
we went down thro’ the village streets saw the soldiers' monument
and some fine old Colonial mansions did some shopping, bought soda
water
1900.
