It evidently was in perfect health and spirits but had probably never made the acquaintance of the dangerous species Homo before. Here we also saw a single large flock of Emmelphila alpestris and two Anthus lundorfi, Both of the latter we shot, S. killing one of them from the roof of one of the deserted houses. S. also killed an immature Pirieola enucleator which was hopping about on the ground near the water's edge. I fired two long shots at gulls (L. agatchus) and hit one of them very hard, but he got off. The owl served as dissection a 2 and had the stomach fairly crammed with mice (Avis, sp.) Just before sunset for ascended a high hill behind the cottages and was crowned by a most superb view. Coming up our old fondness the scenery was also most lovely, backed home by S & P.M. Received today from Fisher at Nantucket 4 louns Bonapartii & a fine & Haulda all for A 2 of the latter was shot on Fishr I and this morning by Abbott Gregar I given me by that gentleman
