found the crop in it. Dick got home about 10 o'clock and we all went to bed.

Sunday June 18th

I walked down to Sunday School this morning and was not late which broke the record for the first time since we have been on the farm. Dick not get up in time to go. He, Enah and Roy came down to church but Daddy whent back to the farm and met us all at Huby's where we dined. In the after noon I went out in the boat a little way and then went up town and took a few pictures. First I went up to the Smith's to see if I could see Bruce but could not but Mrs. Smith said she would tell him to come over to-morrow if he came up. I went down to the dock and saw the launch "Miriam" of the C.Y.C. come in. Joe was out in the "Pilot" and Mid. in the Cygnet and there was hardly enough wind for them to get in.

Joe and I were going up Main street about five o'clock and we saw a big smoke up the street. Joe had his wheel and he rode up. I went up as far as {Maneer's?} corner and did not see much smoke and only a few people so I thought there was nothing in it but found out afterwards that McBains old barn burnt down up by Bob Leitches. I met Roy going over to the Woodsons for tea when I was going home and went over that far with him.

After tea I went down to church alone and went behind the organ with Wiser who wanted to get off early. After church I saw Egg Thompson and {Rurk?} and went up as far as Old Walkeis strawberry patch with them and then on home. (It was too dark to find the berries well.).

Mr. Johnson and Murray went up to Port Ryersce in the farmer's gasoline launch and broke down on the way home. Haymaker towed them home and I guess Mr. Johnson had to preach on an empty stomach. Pretty hot to-day, but nice breeze.
