November 15.
The river rising. I see a spearer’s light to-night.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, November 15, 1855
The river rising. See November 14, 1855 ("The rain has raised the river an additional foot or more, and it is creeping over the meadows "); See also November 15, 1853 (“The river has risen yet higher than last night, so that I cut across Hubbard's meadow with ease”)
A spearer’s light to-night. See April 25, 1856 ("At evening see a spearer’s light."); April 25, 1855 ("A spearers’ fire seems three times as far off as it is."); October 16, 1851 ("To-night the spearers are out again.")
