As it got dark the "fireplace" glowed & Jim Hillis looked very picturesque, throwing in wood in the glow. Then the lit a big bonfire - and by its light Belle
 told me about her plans for going abroad next summer, and when it was over we all went home. Hamilton & Chat rowed back. (but very unevenly) Chat was tired and when she and Helen get out, Hamilton said "come on" and took me for a long row. The moonlight was simply gorgeous. We rowed back of Wahbeck and up past "70" and out by "Co" and thro' the narrow passage to the channel heard the "Britannie" at the wharf at the Pointe. Came back the channel - meeting and hailing several boats - and finally took back Howson's boat, got ours, and rowed circling around Bonaparte Bay until the Britannie came past, all lighted. The girls & "Papa" were still up, sitting on the piazza, and we sat awhile, going to bed late - and such a night! neuralgia!! Bats!!! (Chat & Helen up with brooms. Then Hamilton & remarks from "Papa" & I in our several rooms) Then quiet and more neuralgia and finally the awful sound of a drunken man, rowing past, whooping, pausing, giving 3 cheers for St. Helena!
