coming in.  Probably due to the winds constantly from the east
during the past few days, the tide even when lowest

to bring several long trunks and build a bridge.  This
was soon done and we crossed safely.  Near the spring
we built a fire and prepared coffee.  We remained here
enjoying our little fire and the scenery the rest of the
afternoon.  Down the stream, off in the distance we
saw what appeared to be a bridge, which we had never

bridge had been taken far up into the inlet.  We
walked home quite slowly, reaching home about 8 P.M.
The evening was beautiful and clear, notwithstanding
the next morning we awoke to find it raining.
