The natural phenomena such as sun dogs, and the picturesque sweep of forest and ocean provide material to fill her interesting letters to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hutchings, here. Mail and freight service has not been too good, however, and Mrs. Merrell is still waiting for some of her be longings to arrive.
