Winkydoodle Point Visit Recalls Crabs Dogs and a Sad Child
The narrator recounts a three day stay at Winkydoodle Point with the Wool family of Hemmingway Indiana. He details encounters with hard shell crabs at colonial beach outings and a distressing scene of an 18 month old suffering from measles and whooping cough while observing a neglected dog in the sun. The trip ends with a steamer voyage back to Washington D C with 2168 fellow excursionists as temperatures drop back to cool levels.
