Sep 5-97 Sunday.
Graham
The storm continued to blow during the
night and much rain fell. The ship threw
jolted and rolled much and with the pain in my
hand I slept little last night.
I arrived in Graham at 8 a.m. just
time to avoid another storm. The natives
came around all day with various things to sell.
Much stuff is purchased.
I again undergo two very painful cleanings
of my finger. More painful moments than those
I had them supplied. I remain aboard all
the day.
In White's journal he says, All passengers in
foreground are alarmed about great meteorite which
seemed to fall. Have severe headache all
day. Schuckart suffers less pain in hand, but still
confined to berth.
It is a wild windy night.
