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.

Sunday 6th



Cloudy and cold. Loafed round all day. Wrote a little home to mail at Yokahama. Must write a lot more this week. We crossed the international date line about eleven this A.M. so it is really Monday now but they called it Sunday all day and are going to drop Monday the 7th so tomorrow will be Tues the 8th. Ship made 346 knots.
