Coming to Michigan
That night we rested well and in the morning enjoyed a good meal.
The boat being repaired, we started once more on our voyage, with a bright day before us and everything seeming favorable for its consummation without further danger or trouble. Again the sight of land left us, and once more we were surrounded with a dreary waste of waters, with no object-to look at save the dark nimbus of heaven and the blue waters beneath. At last we discerned a small object in the distance, which became larger and larger, until we finally recognized a ship, known as the "Uncle Sam, " coming toward us at great speed, and before it could be mastered the two ships collided with such force that all on board feared they would be drowned, but from this spell we were soon relieved, as no serious injury had been done to either vessel.
