Then came back and sat on the deck. Papa
left us before the boat sailed (at 2:30) we found
Buffalo Harbor very interesting and rather picturesque. The
people on the boat not particularly promising. Just outside the harbor we met
the "Tionesta" coming in (she's the "Japan's" big sister) It was lowery and
rather horrid and pitchy too. (I didn't mind that!) Laura
went to the stateroom to lie down and I found a nice upper deck and read.
We had a very good supper and the best looking nager
of the lot "(Kelly)" to wait. Some nice people. Mr.
& Mrs. Foster
of Pittston Pa. and Mrs. Morrow.
Mr. F.
looks like President Teddy (only better looking) We arrived at
Erie after dark. The approach was very pretty. The lights
growing larger and more spread out as we stood in the bow watching. The
Fosters invited us to walk up town with them (quite "up")
We went around a few blocks and to the public square and hurried back
because it sprinkled (and my shoe hurt!)
July 24 Sun.
Went to bed rather early. They loaded merchandise on till about 1:30 &
then started off toward Cleveland. Slept pretty well
for the first night out. A fine clearing morning. Breakfasted soon after seven
(Western time) and went up on the nice hurricane deck
