the Thoreau Log.
22 September 1858. Gloucester, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Leave Salem for the Cape on foot . . .

  Cooked our supper in a salt marsh some two miles this side of Gloucester, in view of the town. We had cooked our tea for dinner with dead bayberry bushes; now we used the chips and bark which the tide had deposited in little parcels on the marsh, having carried water in our dippers from a brook, a quarter of a mile . . .

  Put up in Gloucester . . .

(Journal, 11:173-176)
