We soon came to the creek and to the spot where the
captain had his tent last June.  Mr. W. had learned from Mr. H.
how he had rescued him & his wife and also too that the
supposed wife was not his wife at all, but a woman whom
he had picked up, and that he had left his wife in destitute
circumstances.  When we reached the creek we went along
its shore some distance, keeping a sharp lookout for Schweinitzia,
but which was not to be found, and Trailing Arbutus.
The latter was quite plentiful and showed the color of its buds.
We walked along the banks some distance and then decided
to start homeward.  On our way back Mr. W. saw a pretty
hornet's nest which he managed to secure with some difficulty.
We soon found a pretty path which led us to the road.
On our way back we heard the frogs piping their merry spring
song.  We reached Curtis Bay about 6.15 and took the 
first car for home.  The day was perfect.  An ideal spring
day.  The temperature so delightful that to sit down in the
woods and enjoy the pleasant breezes was quite a treat.
