Itinerary HOTELS STOPPED AT Officers Mess Ft Sheridan Ill. People Met INCIDENTS Incidents AUTOGRAPHS SM Rumbough 2d Lieut 15th leav. Gt Capt Arain Pope "Petrim Patent" AUTOGRAPHS PLACES VISITED DATE June 2, 1910. PLACE Plymouth. Landed from the Hamburg American S.S. [Deulstciland?] at 11:45 A.M. We lost B's trunk but found it. And the Customs inspector opened one bag, and passed us. We had the utmost difficulty in not going to London but at last extricated our boxes and with the help of the half drunk porter got to the Grand Hotel on the Hoe. After luncheon of [?ham?] and chicken we walked on the Hoe and down to the pool. This was the PLACES VISITED DATE PLACE old harbor called Sutton Pool and closed nightly with a chain the Pilgrims sailed from here as did Drake It is now a market. Next day I bought a rain coat and a stick and visited the Dock yards and naval station. Later we drove Tintagel in a motor over most excellent roads we reached there at five oclock and had tea. PLACES VISITED DATE June 4-5-6 1910 PLACE Tintagel Cornwall. Oh ye foolish half God mortals, Making mock of Faun and fay; 'Tis in minds and not in caverns, Now as eve our crafts we play, Still the minds of untaught children Summon up from out the grove Voices in the voiceless forrest Elfan music in a cave. With your learned modern science, You may prove that we are dead Yet een now we live among you As in ages that are [spead?], When you sit here by the sea shore and your soul runs loosely back 'long the path of countless ages That the soul alone may track Then ye shudder and look back with Thinking now as long ago. PLACES VISITED DATE PLACE That a goblin lurks beside you Or as Fay her horn doth blow. This is a corking place and a fine [habit?] we had a lot of fun at the castle. And [heard?] a lot about Arthur. The people talk of him as if he were still here. Places Visited Date June 6 1910 Place Clovelly Clovelly is forty one miles from Tintagel we left [there] Tintagel at nine thirty and drove in a double team to Bude passing [from] Boscastle where we walked to the end of the harbor. The boats here are warped in at high tide and when it goes out they are left quite dry. This can be accounted for when it is known that the tide in Spring rises 34 feet. and proportionally PLACES VISITED Date Place through out the year, at Bude we lunched and changed horses getting to Clovelly at five oclock for tea. We passed through Kilkhampton and looked at the church which is very old and interesting. It has the grave of Sir Bevil Grenville his helmet and gauntlets B, wanted to go to a fair that seemed in progress, but it turned out to be a club. After tea at Clovelly we walked down to the harbor and went rowing and there conceived the notion of Sailing to Biddeford which we arranged with the sailor on the spot. When we woke in the morning we found a fine collection of roaches in our clothes suit cases and the bed. B did not like one. At Breakfast a man talked to us and gave us some excellent pointers he later turned out to [B] be Sir Frederick Graham. When we got to the harbor we found our boat and two men the man who was to take us and the man in whos boat we were to be taken. This latter looked like Neptune and had a beard on the end of his nose. On the way out we past a lot of trawlers and learned that with two exceptions they were owned and worked by a family named Brown this family comprises all the people of a village just above clovelly and all its people are descended from two spanish sailors who were left from a wreck some hundreds of years ago. Neptune said that they were so inter married that most of them were crippled or crazy. We must have seen the [crippled ones for] crazy ones for they looked any thing but crippled. As we sailed by one of them pulled up about a mile of rope and net and finally held up with childish pride a "foin pair of Plaice" the result of eight hours work.
