Bro. Abram Cannon, about an option
on a new mine through Bro. Sang
We agreed to accept the offer to pay
$100,000 for the same. I received a telegram
from James Jack saying that Naomi
had given birth to a son; all well
I spent the remainder of the day in
my room reading a book entitled "The
"Black Death", telling of the plagues of
former generations.
~ Thursday
11th I wrote two letters one to Asahel,
and one to sSarah. I spent the day
in my room on board the Willepah,
bound for Alaska. It was quite cold.
I had a bad night, and did not
sleep.
~ Friday
12th We are traveling on the ocean.
This morning we stopped at a place
and took on 17 cars of coal, to last
the whole journey. It was a very
pleasant journey.
~ Saturday
13th We reached some islands where
some seals have recently been seen
on the islands here. It was cloudy
and cool. A wild scene. A man pointed
out on the map a place where some
thirteen men had caught 70,000 pounds
