Breezy Point, Warren, New Hampshire (Second day on Mt. Moosilauke)
1894.

(No. 2)
  Before we had finished eating there was a sudden clap 
of thunder and threatening clouds came rolling over the
crest of the ridge above us. We sought shelter at once under
overhanging rocks but only a light sprinkle of rain fell
and the sun soon came out again. Batchelder now joined
us with the mayor. He reported that it was very cold
on the summit of the mountain. We started down 
soon after this, Batchelder going on ahead afoot. I
rode as far as the second mile post above Merrill's &
waited there for Faxon walking in the remainder of
the way with him. The woods were very beautiful in
the late afternoon light. Hermits were singing on every
side when we entered the upper part of Merrill's clearing.
