Grindstone Neck, Winter Harbor, Me.
to Cambridge, Mass.
1901
July 29
Cloudy day, clearing in A.M. brisk east wind,
air most refreshing. Mercury 60° {degrees}, 8 A.M.
After a most delightful week we left Grind-
stone for home by the 9.30 A.M. boat for Bar
Harbor. Lucy, Helen & May with Mr. Batchelder
all walked down to the wharf to see us off.
We met on board Mrs. Moore & Miss Houston
with Mr. Newton and another friend of theirs.
They had two carriages and four horses and
two grooms on board for a drive on Mount
Desert. We left them at the wharf and with
the Sappho for the Ferry. Then we had a
pleasant ride in the cars to Boston, reach-
ing there at 9 P.M. The run down the
Kennebec valley is very beautiful. We
passed, through Augusta, Hallowell and
Gardiner. In places the river was choked
from bank to bank with logs waiting to
be sent to their various destinations.
We got home to 29 Brewster St. and
were welcomed by Dr. & Mrs. Coolidge
at 10 o'clock.
During our visit the wind has been
generally south-west. On Sunday, the 28th,
it was east, and it was also east
when we left Monday the 29th. | page [60] 29 Jul 1901 (seq. 62)60
