Journal Entry

November 23, 1837 ~ Thursday

23 Walked to Malatire Luce, returned to Br Ames. I receieved
a letter from Elder Benjamin Boydstun, from Zion, and
four Papers from Kirtland. I was called to visit the Rainbow,
a vessel that dragged her anchors, and was driven on shore
among the rock in a heavy gale: she lay upon her beams end.
I went on board of her in the midst of a hard gale & high sea^'s^ spray^s^
broke clear over her, she was in bad condition: but the
exertion of the neighbours soon delivered her from danger. 7 m[iles]
