Day 069 – December 30, 1819

December 30, 1819 – no entry. (Thaddeus Journal)

Dec. 30th. A generally quiet and uneventful passage during this month. “A general time of health, not one complaining among ship’s company or passengers.” Lat. obsd. 30° 45′ South (James Hunnewell)

Dec. 30th. The grandeur and peculiar beauty of the scene, to-night, about the setting of the sun, were truly indescribable. One could but gaze, with admiration. The sun descended, majestically, into his watery bed, tinging, both sky and water, with the most splendid hues:–not the smallest cloud appeared, while the full moon, ascending, upon the sun’s retiring, proclaimed herself queen of the night. As she advanced, her soft beams shed a lustre over the wide deep, not agitated by a single wave,—all seeming to whisper, is it peace within? His works praise him. Does thy soul praise Him, the great Creator? (Sybil Bingham)

30th. Various kinds of waterfowls have been seen to-day. Brother C. shot at one but did not kill it. We have some variety even at sea. Now and then a new object presents itself, of which we take the liberty to inform our friends. While you look to the South for the sun, we look to the north, while you are shivering with the cold of winter, we are suffering the heat of a torrid sun in a calm at sea; while you consider us tossing here and there upon the mighty deep, we have the pleasure of fancying you pleasantly situated in that goodly land which we have left the fond remembrance of which shall ever afford us pleasure. Mr. Ruggles has just entered our little room and says “Tell our friends, that we are very happy to-day.” When he finds a day of comfortable health we enjoy it extremely well, though it seldom happens. (Samuel & Nancy Ruggles)
