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.

Wed. Oct. 3rd


Took soundings off the beach at Bacolod, all day, to find place for channel. Gard,
Patsy, and White in boat with taos, and Weston and I took bearings from shore. In
evening Weston, Hill, Cooper and I took dinner with missionary here. His wife is from
Hingham. Seemed kind of strange to eat in a civilized manner. Rained hard during
the night.
