August 18 Sunday – The Kanawha arrived in New York City.

Sam’s last entry in his log: (insert drawn by Harry Rogers 1901)

New York. Cast anchor off the Recreation Dock in the evening. A final search for the umbrella produced nothing, except regret.

Thus ends a sumptuous & hospitable voyage which was filled with pleasure & contentment, & was profitable to all who had part in it, in rest, refreshment of the spirit, & reinvigoration of body & brain [MTHHR insert after p.396; “Summer Excursion to the Nutherd” MTP].
