whistle sounded, we saw the headlight of the engine
and we still had about 100 yds to go.  We thought
surely we must be left.  But just as the last person
boarded the train we reached the platform.  We had
made the train but with not a moment to spare.

At 8:15 P.M. we were in Baltimore.

August 9, 1899.  A trip to Stony Run from there
to Glenburnie and the old Furnace.  We took
the 7:02 A.M. train at Fredrick Rd. Sta. of the
B&P.R.R. [Baltimore & Philadelphia Railroad] Only one plant of interest was found
at S. R., Poterium Canadense; this is really the only
station I thus far know for this plant.  A little beyond
the block tower are two frame houses, colored people
living in them; in the garden of the first were growing
Humulus Lupulus, Tanacetum vulgare, Cleome pungens
and Wormwood.  In the rear of the houses a path leads
to a nice spring; here, were found some of the finest
blackberries.  These houses are on Mr. Colis property.
We now wished to cross the country to G.  Seeing a
path leading in that direction we concluded <s>taking</s> to take
it and inquire at the farm house <s>our</s> for directions.
