I got up this morning before Aunty & Aunty Alice not knowing that they weren't up and sat around for about half an hour reading Beltane the Smith which I borrowed from Marj. last night. On<s>t</s> my way home I stopped in at the Quanburys and found Art. had fixed the post mould up yesterday afternoon and as he and Charlie were just ready to go up to Ben's to plow. (They are putting in stuff on shares) Charlie took the post mould home for me and gave me a ride with it. Bob Davis was in for a few minutes this morning, and said he hadn't sold his house so couldn't handle the Throughbred but if he was able to he would like to take him. Frank and I went over to John Wes's this morning to get a few final instructions

Bluffs for shelter. They made Dover harbor some time this after noon. They had been telephoning from here all day but couldn't get any trace of them. I suppose they went around the Point before day light and the Lifesaving crew didn't see them. Frank and I didn't get home till noon as we stopped in at Aunty's for awhile. This after noon we didn't do any thing but chores and sit around. Frank fixed or tried to fix his wheel. To-night I went down to see Marj. it being one of Essie's nights at the show and as it was nasty walking stayed down at Aunty's all night.
