seen for miles, as far as Nanticoke, and it was in the hollow too, three Dover kids drove in with one of Faulkner's horses after we got there and were about frozen, they had driven all over the country trying to get to it and couldn't locate it from the roads, we hung around for half an hour and as we didn't see any chance of a ride back we hit the track again. Colin was invited to stay all night with his cousins but he didn't know what his folks would think so came back with us, we got home just about twelve and as it was a little after eight when we left home we didn't make bad time, we went up in about an hour and a half. They were up when we got home and Dick informed us that the fire was at Sutton's mill in Simcoe, but we enlightened them on that point. It has been sunny and soft all day but a raw wind. Clear, frosty and moon light to-night lovely for walking. Sunday March12th Frank went down to Sunday school this morning and Dad Enah and the baby went down to church, this was the first trip for the baby to church since he was christened and was just an experiment. I was sure they wouldn't be able to keep him quiet for ten minutes but Dad. said he couldn't have been better, the soldiers were in church and Mr. Herbert preached, he has enlisted as a chaplin and is going to speak at the recruiting meeting to-night. Aunty Alice came over to dinner with them and was here all the after noon. I didn't go down town this after noon, but Dick did and Frank went down to Ryerse's to see the ferret that Colin bought at Bill George's sale. We had an early tea and Frank drove Aunty Alice and me down and I went to church. I spent the evening up at the Bagley's. Marj's cousins the Doughty's brought her home before tea and they had all just got home from church when I got there. I stopped in at Aunty's on my way home and got three pieces of cake and Uncle Hal's big coon skin coat as we intend to go to Port Rowan in the morning. I wore it home over my other one and nearly cooked as it was a very warm night. It has been getting milder all day and was raining for awhile to-night. Monday March 13th We all got up fairly early this morning and Dad and I got started soon after seven for Port Rowan
