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.

Tuesday 22nd



Sick as blazes all day. Came ashore about two P.M. and went to bed. Ship is in dry dock. All the 1st cabin passengers are at the Nagasaki Hotel. We are packed in 4 to a room. The pillows are stuffed with sand or something hard.
