June 19—Within 136 miles of the Azores at noon. / D r & S get sea-sick at table—go out & throw up & return for more….
Started a Social Club last night to discuss routes of travel, & chose Judge Haldeman for President, —Rev Mr Carew for Secretary, & Moses S. Beach, Dr. Jackson & myself as Executive Committee. Dr. [Edward] Andrews & Capt Duncan enlightened the Club concerning the Azores & Gibraltar. After which Mr James gave Stereopticon views—promised us pictures of places we are going to visit, & his first was a view of Greenwood Cemetary! [MTNJ 1: 337-8].
