Day in the Life
Journal Entry
October 27, 1885 ~ Tuesday
27 [FIGURE] In company with Brother Wm Thompson I went
to the Duck pond south of the Temple. We took with us
a new boat Brother Thompson had made when we got it in the
water we found it to rounding on the bottom like a chair rocker
when a person was in one End the other End would stick up
the ownly way we could manage it was to have a person
in Each End & set in the centre or it would dip, or if
one person was in the middle of the boat He could manage
it, it was launched & 5 ducks picked up we had shot. I
got into the boat with a boy named standley crossed to
some rushes, and in trying to get a shot at some ducks I
steped back into the middle of the Boat & we sh sunk it in
2 1/2 feet of water of course we got wet but it was well for
us we was by the side of rushes we got out emptied the boat
got in & went to shore my stockings & pants was wet most
of the day. we got 11 ducks, 2 geese & 1 Large Crain & returned
home & took our wboat with us we traveled in all about 6 mils
