Day 148 – March 18, 1820

March 18, 1820 – no entry. (Thaddeus Journal)

March 18. After proceeding very slowly for about a fortnight and being so near the sun as powerfully to feel its scorching rays, we have now entered the trades which are carrying us 8 miles an hour toward our wished for port. During the extreme warm weather I have felt very lanquid & have been able to do but little. I believe it is owing in a measure to want of exercise. I bathe in salt water once a day which I think beneficial to my health. (Mercy Partridge Whitney Journal)

Day 149 – March 19, 1820

March 19, 1820 – Lord’s Day. – Favored with the privilege of public worship on deck. The attentive audience listened to a discourse from Luke 23: 39-43, in which the prominent and distinguishing doctrines of grace were illustrated by Br. B. Our only hope with respect to the seed sown is in God who giveth the increase. Tamoree absented himself from public worship as he often does from our family devotions. He has, to our grief, expressed some skeptical views respecting Christianity. His intercourse with a Deist on board has been no serious advantage to him. We still hope the Lord will save him from the power of the enemy and make a blessing and not a curse to his countrymen. (Thaddeus Journal)

March 20th. Sail rapidly at the rate of 200 miles a day. Expect to see our long wished for Owhyhee (Hawaii) in 6 or 8 days. O how shall we rejoice again to set our feet on land. (Samuel & Nancy Ruggles)

March 20.-When I gave my hand to Mr. Thurston, and came out from my father’s house, to go far away to a land unknown, I felt assured of the care and friendship of one precious friend. But my expectations have been more than realized. To be connected with such a husband, and engaged in such an object, in the present state of the world, is, of all situations in life, what I choose.

Day 151 – March 21, 1820

March 21, 1820 – no entry. (Thaddeus Journal)

21st. Today have been thinking much of beloved brethren and sisters in Brookfield; perhaps some of them are now in eternity, if so, O that it may be a blessed eternity. Do you my dear friends enjoy the stated ordinances of Gods house? Do Christians in B. feel for the heathen? Tell them to be up and doing for the Lord, requires their exertions, the heathen are calling for their assistance. (Samuel & Nancy Ruggles)
