Set right by a couple in a boat we met, we passed two girls in a guide-boat, of whom we inquired the way, and who recognized me (such is Fame), proving on investigation to be the McCann girls, who live on Clinton Avenue in Albany.

Passing them and turning the bend into Third Lake, we came in sight of the Bald Mountain House, and as we didn't want to get there so soon on account of Merriman's invitation to supper, we pulled back and talked to the girls for half an hour. Second Lake roughens up quite a bit under the slightest breeze, as we found in coming up.
