ladies good-bye and again descended to the shore.  We very soon
came to Cedar Bar -- a most beautiful and picturesque point of
land.  Just as we reached the bar, it stopped raining, the mists
disappeared to a certain extent and we were able to enjoy the
beautiful scenery around.  Off, to the right in Yantris(?) a pretty 
almost land enclosed lake, and nearly opposite one sees another inlet.
Cedar Bar, no doubt takes its name from the few cedars -- Juniperus 
Virginiana, that grow on it.  We continued along the shore, until
we came to Yantris.  Here we were obliged to go inland in order to
get around the swampy ground.  Here we heard our first Kingfishers.
As we ascended the hillside we frequently stopped to view the river.
When we reached the top, we saw that we were not very far from the
home of Mrs. T.  We walked along the crest of the hill and whenever
we saw a spot that seemed to be worth examining, we would stop, and
descend the hillside.  At one place, I thought I had found Kalmia glauca,
but it proved to be only augustifolia.  After going some distance and about
opposite Robinson Station, we <s>for</s> came to an old hut no longer inhabited.  Near
it was a path leading to a spring, we therefore followed it a short distance
and coming to a nice nook, we decided to camp and eat our dinner.*
