 had found me a good long piece of drift wood for a paddle and I steered. It was lovely going home, too - almost too lovely to leave. We had supper about 6:30 or so and then Jim
drove Julia
 & me over to Selkirk and we got a boat at John's and rowed 'way 'way out - at least two miles - and back against the wind, which was rising. It blew quite a gale going home, and later, and sure enough another thunder shower in the night, July 7 Mon. but turned out be a nice morning with the wind in the South. Papa suddenly decided to go home with me (at my suggestion) about half an hour before I started and he rode to the village with Mr. Doane and Uncle drove me. Of course we got there plenty early for the 11 o'clock train.
