a good breeze. Ther about

uncomfortably cold in evening.
Rose only in time for breakfast.
Spent most of A.M. in reading.
In P.M. started to go over to
Kimbal's pond fishing but
could get no boat. Father &
I with Frank rode down to
Salisbury beach in an open
wagon & Uncle Albert went
down with the rest. Saw two
Arctic skuas chase a Wilson's tern.
Stayed down there about an
hour. Got home at about 7.30 
P.M. & found it very cold
riding. King birds in large flocks
going South.
