Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865
I arrived on the .
The last day of summer I rode in company
with Mrs Woodruff and sister Rhoda F Scamman to the
beach on the sea shore. We spent an hour riding upon
this beautiful beach extending along the shore for about seven
miles in length and one hundred rods in wedth at low
water. It is composed of fine white sand, is almost a dead
level and very easy and pleasent to ride or walk upon.
The sun shone brilliantly upon the face of
nature the canvas of the gallant ships were filled with the
morning breeze as they sailed upon the great deep; wave
after wave reached the extent of their bounds upon the shore
and then rolled back to their source again. These together
with other varieties made the morning's excursion very pleasent.
After picking up a quantity of sea shells to carry
to the land of Zion for domestic uses and in memory of
the place we returned to Mr Scamman's and after visiting
others of the brethren we reached Father Carter's having been
during the day a distance of 20 miles.
