the Thoreau Log.
18 March 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—Round by Hollowell place via Clamshell.

  I see with my glass as I go over the railroad bridge, sweeping the river, a great gull standing far away on the top of a muskrat-cabin which rises just above the water opposite the Hubbard Bath. When I get round within sixty rods of him, ten minutes later, he still stands on the same spot . . .

(Journal, 7:253-255)
