August 15 Thursday – The Kanawha stopped in Rockland, Maine, 40 miles n. of Bath [MTHHR 468n1].

Sam’s Ship log: August 15, Thursday. Bass’s Bay.

Fog.

To Rockland, Maine, in the afternoon, arriving about 6 p.m. In the night Dr. Rice baited the anchor with his winnings & caught a whale 90 feet long, he says. It is thought that if there had been another witness like Dr. Rice the whale would have been longer.

The spectre [of the umbrella] still walks [MTP; Dias, Odd Couple 103 somewhat varied].
