August 26 – Sunday
We left as soon as possible after breakfast for Coney Island, where we spent the day most pleasantly. We took subway from 103 St. to Bowling Green where we walked to South Ferry and boarded a ferry –boat for South Brooklyn. We passed through Buttermilk Channel and going along the side of Governor’s Island. After landing in South Brooklyn, we took an electric car for Coney’s Isle. Our trip over by water was most enjoyable.
We spent a most pleasant day there. Had our pictures made on post-cards but were only fairly good.
Met Mr. Julius Hayes of Knoxville, Tenn. Who stayed with us most of the afternoon, and was very pleasant.
We had to run a long way to catch our board as it was time for it to leave. Cousin Belle ran so fast that she almost fainted, we sure had to fan her to revive her.
We came home all the way by water, and it was simply gorgeous, the moonlight on the water was the most beauitful thing I ever saw. We also saw the “Statue of Liberty” lit up by night, and the reflection in the water was beautiful.
We certainly enjoyed our trip from beginning to end, and especially our trips by water.
When we reached home two telegrams awaited us, calling us home at once. But fortunately before we started, we found out that it was all a mistake and that we could stay longer, and we sure were glad.
