but in the afternoon it had become misty, it was now
very misty and not a star could be seen.  About 6:30 P.M.
we thought we would start for home - how dark it was
when we looked into the woods, nothing could be seen
that might serve as a landmark, the brook could be
heard, but <s>whether</s> how close to <s>or far f</s> us we could not tell.
What a good thing it was to have the lamps, with them
we at least could examine the ground and could see where
we were walking.  At one time we no longer heard the brook
we though surely we had gotten far from it, as instinctively
turn towards it, we did not walk far when we were
right to it, it was at that part of its course where it
passes the highland and for a short distance it flows
lazily in a very deep basin.  We had now but a short
distance to go, before long we were at the pump-house.
How misty is was, even out on the road we could not
see very far.  What immense shadows of ourselves were
thrown into the air by our lamps!  We reached the
terminus about 7:45 P.M. Our trip through the woods
lasting about one hour.
