Lunch was disposed of on board, after
which the party landed, and with baskets
tin pails, rolls of bathing clothes, they
deployed into the bushes in search of
beach plums. The plums were there in
abundance and so was the heat. Between
mopping the perspiration from their
brown and picking plums the pleasure
was somewhat laborious. Some time was
spent in bathing. until aboutiio’ciorck,
when Captain Decker spread sail for home,
with a fresh breeze, and arrived at 7p. m.
