March 4, 1820 – no entry. (Thaddeus Journal)
March 4th. It is now five months since I bade you adieu, & cast a last look at your hospitable dwelling. The time which has since expired appears like a dream.
“Well if our days must fly,
We’ll keep their end in sight;
We’ll spend them all in wisdom’s way.
And let them speed their flight.”
But as swiftly as time flies I do not wish to retard its progress. It is my most ardent desire to spend & be spent in the service of my Maker; & of how little consequence is it whether our lives be long or short if God be glorified. I delight to put my trust in Him who is able to keep me – to protect & guide me in all my ways; – & when my work on earth is finished, to receive me to mansions of eternal rest. May I at length meet you there, with all my dear beloved friends and be so happy as to spend an eternity in singing praises to God our Redeemer. (Mercy Partridge Whitney Journal)

March 5, 1820 – Lord’s Day. – Lat. S. 3 . Weather variable and rainy. Disappointed in not having privilege of preaching on deck. A meeting in the morning for prayer and exposition of the Scriptures, and in the afternoon a lecture below from Jonah 1:6. We acknowledge the necessity of increased zeal and activity in the cause of divine Master. This evening one of the mates expressed some concern for his salvation. May He who loves to see the wandering prodigal return, hear our prayer and graciously guide and receive him. O for the reviving and sanctifying Spirit of God to carry on his glorious work.

March 7, 1820 – Last evening we were favored again with a precious season in observing the Monthly Concert. When we look back 4 weeks to our last concert on the 7th of Feb. and see the distance we have sailed and the very great and constant prosperity with which we have been favored we have reason to believe that the blessings of heaven have been showered down upon us every day in answer to the prayers of that concert. We have passed, in this short period, almost the whole distance from Cape Horn to the Equator, that is about 50° Northing and 30° Westing. It is the opinion of some of the officers that no vessel ever passed more rapidly or prosperously from the Cape to this place than the Thaddeus. We rejoice on our own account, but more on account of the cause we have espoused. No reproach can now fall upon the cause of Missions under the pretense that the business of commerce is shackled or hindered by it. We rejoice, too, in the hope that our next monthly concert will be attended on heathen ground. (Thaddeus Journal)
