Tuesday, June 29, 1875

June 29th. I am very much better in health, but my pale face is calling for sympathy and anxiety. The captain and several others have given encouraging talk, and a lady kindly brought me an orange which did me good. God bless her! I had an interesting conversation with Heifner on science and religion. He believes the progressive theory.

We are six degrees from the Azores. Today, when I complimented the captain on his quiet, orderly crew, he replied, "They know they have to obey orders, or I will be down their throats instantly."
