The Journal of Fletcher Ames Hatch

Being an account of my experience while at work for the Philippine R.R. Co. After you have read these pages, don't talk to me about all engineers having a snap.

If anything happens to me this book is to be sent to my brother Israel Hatch, RD#1, Rockland, Massachusetts, USA.

Fri. May 4th




Pa's birthday. Cold with snow flurries in the morning. We turn a bit to the south to-day. At noon we were in lat 52-13 and made 336 knots - the best days run so far. We are going into dry dock at Nagasaki. It is very calm to-day and the sick ones have all recovered.
