I crossed to the island in a N.E. gale
& floods of rain. Saw a White-winged Scoter
and a few Terns. Found Edward W. Emerson

with bright open fires.

about through the fine old birch
& oak woods. Startled 2 Deer. Birds 
abundant but mostly silent.
After dinner sat in Mrs Forbes
pretty little circular walled garden for
an hour. In later P.M. walked
to the north shore where we had
a superb sunset. Took only 2
photographs to-day.

Mr. Emerson - along the S. shore to the
Desert, across the Desert nearly to the W. end,
back along the N. shore reaching the house

  Mr. Emerson & I crossed to Wood's Hole
before a strong breeze & took the 8 A.M. train
