Archaeology Club, 4pm, the Library

Evie is entirely too gleeful today. Possibly it's all the Caff-Pow, possibly it's the doughnuts that are open in the box on the table.

"I found us another excavation site!" She spread out a map of the island on the center table. "It's just north of Selkie Cove. Or, at any rate, it's supposed to be. The wreck of the Albatross, a Spanish privateer that was run aground in 1592. Captain Gregory Thorpe and crew had to abandon ship and head into the mainland, and weren't able to find the wreck later. It could have ended up in the sea caves along the shore, and it definitely hasn't been excavated since."

"I think next week, we should go out to the site and try to ascertain where it might have ended up. As well as making lists this week, of what we'll need to start a full dig! I'm going to look for more information in Special Collections this week, to narrow the search down, if anyone else wants to help with that."

"Those hats with the light on the top!" Blair grinned and bounced. "Totally cool looking."

"Brilliant!" Evie did a little chair-dance. "Ooo. We shall have to make a map of the caves, in order to find our way back. But just think! There might be remains of the sailors, and the logbook, and oh, perhaps some artifacts... oh, yay!"

"Yay!" Blair agreed. "I volunteer to not help with the map. Believe me, it's better for all of us that way."

Evie giggled. "Not quite your area of expertise?"

"You know those little mazes that they give kids, to find their way across the page?" Blair shrugged. "I've never even been able to complete one of those, much less use a map with any degree of success."

"Right then. No asking Blair for directions," Evie teased. "I'll do that part if no one else, if you take the photos. I can't say that I'm *proficient* at it, but I should be able to construct a basic map."

"Photo's I can manage." Blair grinned. "You lead and I'll take very artistic and useful photos of things."
