Tuesday Aug 18 - 1914 I went out & started the tide page today. The women & boys went after little anhrs. They are afraid that the eclipse will cause the birds to go south. Tonight we go to the island - Jerome & I in the flatie. I am taking a .44, .35, 22, .401 & short gun x Wednesday Aug 19 - 1914 At the island Jerome and I put up our sleeping and cook tents. We were put out at being unable to find the tools, nails, bedding and personal things which they must have lost last night. The clouds finally dissolved into rain and our ambition to build was diluted & desire for the comfort of home. We drifted into the flatie and returned in time for a good dinner with Dan & Hal. I shot a race just before we left. He was perched on a rock scolding Jerome when I put an end to his execrations. Thursday Aug 20 1914 My cool day again. A meal & visited John new Barnes & the mistress taking it generous stuff with great relish.
