Day in the Life
Journal Entry
21st I find myself this morning siting in the open stage
with the Horses runing down all the Hills at full speed with
the driver snoreing & fast asleep And continued untill
sun was two hours high we came within a foot of running
the waggon off a precepice 30 feet deep which would
have dashed us to peases among the rocks the driver awok
& when He saw the danger He had run he turned pale but
was soon asleep again we continued Journeying in this way
for 100 miles & arived at the ferry of the Beaubaurs Island
whare we arived at 10 oclock whare I left the stage feeling
vary thankful that my bones were whole & my life preserved
I crossed the ferry to the Island walked one mile through
A plesant grove to the House of Elder Joseph Russels I found
Him at home & we had A Happy Greeting indeed. I was thankful
to strike Hands with & to see a latter Day Saint after travelling two
weeks without seeing any Saints I found Sister Russell also a
vary kind sister & Mother After visiting his ship yard & looking
about I went to bed & had a good nights sleep distance from
