Rolling out, etc.
Nov. 3 Bay Farm Island,
Attended the Fair.
After the tide goes out, the rails
are easy down off to two arms.
Rope around in black ni hussar above
bird-like.
If necessary they swim across
in water a couple of feet or
so in width.
It is good if successful.
The rail comes up coming a clam
is holding on some sort
or small at will, and then
goes off to the end of it,
and runs back into the marsh grass
with it.
