August 4 Sunday – Sam’s ship log:

August 4, Sunday. Reached Fairhaven in the forenoon. Took on board Rev. Dr. Collyer & Rev. Minot Savage.  The ship has been searched [for the umbrella], but without result. Rain. Laying of the corner-stone of the Memorial Church post-poned a day, in consequence [MTP].

Note: Rev. Dr. Robert Collyer (1828-1912), pastor of Rogers’ NY Church of the Messiah, and Rev. Minot Judson Savage (1841-1918), Unitarian minister, were likely guests on the Kanawha; they are not mentioned thereafter on the ship’s log.

On Rogers’ yacht Kanawha Sam wrote to Livy. The letter heading shows him at the Harbor of New London, Conn. at 5 a.m.

“We sail for Fairhaven soon & remain until tomorrow morning—after that, I do not know the intinerary, except that we stop at Portland or Bar Harbor to get Tom Reid [sic Reed]. Mr. Rogers will come on board to-day, then I shall know” [MTP].
