The Journal of Edward Ward 1850-51

Thursday, December 5th

Thursday, December 5th

The smoke in the cuddy began a headache, which ended in a bilious sickness, from which I retired to bed after dinner and slept till evening when I was very sick. Slept badly, wakefulness aggravated to the intelligence (by steward) that the people are very much down in the mouth about my proposal. Am therefore the more glad that I did not close at once with them. Took counsel from Andy, in which he proved the inadequacy of £30 a year—they having left nearly that behind them. He thought they would be content with £35 for McCormicks and £40 for Wilsons. He proved that Margaret was worth double the wages of Jane McCormick. Lat. 52.36 S., Long. 133.26 E.
