party was a failure and Maud, the dogs
and I are alone and and tis over the moonlight
and allmost midnight & time Maud &
I were abed two hours and a half ago.

Saturday 14 Nov
Great fun over to Dignams
music, wine & cakes but Saturday
work must be done so we fly around
and bake, mop floors, churn and iron
after awhile I am informed that V & Grace
going up to Morgans to make an evenings
visit & as the evening is quite mild I dont
object. V saying he would walk as far
as Niles, and invite Wallace and Shella to
accompany them. About two hours after going
the wind commenced blowing from south, and before
midnight increasing to a gale and as it
is Saturday eve, think they ought to
be home by one Oclock a.m. Wind
blowing fearfuly, cant sleep thinking
perhaps they have started for home in
the skiff and have been overwhelmed,
swamped by a tremendous breaker
after awhile began to think V should be
here if G had to stay at Morg's all night.
When the dogs anounces their safe return
and I find they walked all the way up &
back together with Wall & Shell
