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.

Friday 15th


Worked all the morning getting the baggage aboard. Left the dock at three P.M. in a pouring rain. Got my first mail sine I left Seattle, just as we were leaving the dock. Went aboard the gov't. coast guard boat "Luzor" and left for Iliolo at 5:20. Slept on deck as there were no stateroom accommodations.
