There was still no sign of the "Britannic" where we got back to the
dock and it was getting darker and stormier, so I told them to go home,
and they finally did, leaving me well cared for by "Mary and Howard"
Mosher. I had a good supper with them, and the
Percivals, and finally, about eight, the boat
came - and all the McIntosh people were very
nice and Miss Belle
and I got quite touched and kissed each other goodbye and
a whole row of people waved to us a long time. Mrs. Baker and I, and
when we passed "St. Helena" I
heard Hamilton's "Napole-eol-eol-eon"
thro' the new megaphone and saw a vague waving in the gloom and at
"Sing-Sing" it was dark - but "Billy" was piling wood on the fire and waved
his hat (rather guiltily). It wasn't a lovely night to sit out (Tho'
the moon was somewhere behind the windy clouds) but I got my steamer
rug and did, with Mrs. Baker, and talked with a couple who knew
Helen's "Cousin Charlie" in
Chicago, till the rain drove us all in. Then
the cabin was so stuffy and I had slept so little last night that I
went to bed - and to sleep - between 9:30 and ten, and when we got
8/5/03.
