Stanley Woodman, George Woodman, Wall Niles come. They play phonograph awhile, go to the shop to look at the launch that V is building Then go away home or somewhere else. Nex comes Ray McIntyre and Jim Johnson and two Malony boys. Morris and Ed and a lot more in another launch. Crouse and his gang looking to buy sheep and pigs. Well after dinner I went to bed for a nap was soon awakened by a voice saying "Get up" Charley and Flora are here. When I came out found Charley, Flora, Lottie, Ada Hart and her brother Bert Hart. Then Art Vincent and his hired boy came. 7 beside our own family ate supper including Johnson and McIntyre. There was some whiskey around beside cider in the cellar. H. Halliday persuaded Bob to go home with him in the launch; they are going up above the island tomorrrow to the ducks. My opinion is, Robert had better stay home and away from Hank's companionship. H said he would bring R home tomorrow evening. We will see. At last all are gone except Lottie; she is going to McClarens to visit Ethel whenever she can get the oppertunity to go.
