Day 015 – November 6, 1819

November 6, 1819 – We acknowledge a continuance of divine mercies tho’ we make no progress on our way.
Lat. 38. 3. Lon. 43. 32. (Thaddeus Journal)

Nov. 6th. Light breeze S. E.by E., and pleasant. Our passengers all on deck, – most of them recovered from their sea-sickness. (James Hunnewell)

Saturday Morning, 15th day after sailing: My Dear Brothers: We weighed anchor soon after you left us. A gentle gale wafted us about 10 miles that day, when we had a calm, which detained us till the next morning. A kind providence seemed to order it for the best, however, for, in the course of the evening, it was ascertained that our soft bread and crackers and all the ardent spirits were left behind. Consequently, a boat was sent off for Boston that night, which did not return until the next day towards night. A fine breeze blew up, which took us off at the rate of 8 miles an hour. Our seasickness came on, and before morning every passenger, except the 4 native youths, were broadside. I need not attempt to describe the horrors of seasickness, for I believe it is well understood by most of you. However, to make the best of us, we were a pitiable company. I think here was an exception to the saying that misery loves company, for I believe the miseries of one was no consolation to those of another. (Lucia Ruggles Holman)

Day 017 – November 8, 1819

November 8, 1819
November 8, 1819 – no entry (Thaddeus Journal)

Nov. 8th. Met a vessel probably bound to America; but the roughness of the sea prevented our speaking with her. We are about 1600 miles from Boston. The weather has been rough and the sea boisterous most of the way. Yesterday Brother T. preached from Gen. 8th 27 15th. Again I take my pen to inform my friends how I have spent the day. Immediately after breakfast attended to the recitation of our lessons on deck, recited again soon after dinner, then had a pleasant season of conversation with the dear sisters which seemed more like a visit on land than any I have before enjoyed since I have been on board. I spent the evening on deck walking for exercise & singing. The weather continues boisterous & the wind contrary which greatly impedes our progress. These unfavorable circumstances are calculated to try, but not to dishearten us. Our heavenly father knows infinitely best how to accomplish his own purposes in and. by us. If God has any important service designed for his little band in Owhyhee (Hawaii), surely his own time for its accomplishment is the best time, “The Lord reigneth let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of Isles be glad thereof”, and though to us clouds and darkness may appear to be round about him; yet righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. (Samuel & Nancy Ruggles)

Day 018 – November 9, 1819

November 9, 1819 – A vessel hove in sight and much joy was felt in hope of being able to send a line to our friends, but were not favored with the privilege. Still progressing outward and North for several days.
Lat. 38. 27. Lon. (Thaddeus Journal)

Nov. 9th. Have been seventeen days on board. Hitherto the good hand of our GOD has been upon us. Our passage has been rough, our way, when contrasted with tender nursing in the bosom of our friends, has been hard; but our hearts have been kindly supported, so that it has not been dark. Sea-sickness has been severe upon most, yet not so much so as upon many who have gone before us.
As to myself, it has been slight—have felt a degree of strength enabling me to render some little attentions to my dearest friend, still weak and feeble. Privileged have I been in it. We have not been able to enter into any systematic improvement of time, but have it in prospect. 0, to do my part towards composing a well regulated Mission family I We have experienced a gale which caused our little bark to be tossed upon the tempestuous ocean. Danger did not seem immediately threatening, tho we suffered much inconvenience. How would a voyage at sea teach us our continual dependence, were we not so slow to learn ! Have had our hearts refreshed by public worship, on deck, the two last sabbaths—first sabbath prevented by loosing anchor in the harbor, rapid progress of sea-sickness, etc. Yesterday much joy on board at sight of a vessel, hoping it were bound homeward. It proved not so. It probably will be long ere our friends hear. (Sybil Bingham)
