Finally we arrived safely in port. Here more troublesbegan. I was advised to do many things, some of which would have beenmuch to the benefit of some of my advisers. One thing was to land andstore the cargo. [*] This I positively refused to do. But after all Ifound that there was only one European blacksmith in the place, and hehad but a small shop. This man contracted to do the repairs, and after Ihad got the rudder to his shop he coolly asked me if I had a goodcarpenter or other handy man to ...help him, as the job was too heavy forhis negro assistant to weld. I proposed to him another plan. So at lastthe work was done satisfactorily, and we went on our way with partly anew negro crew, some of the old crew having left. We made very goodprogress and were nearly off New York when we got into a violentsnowstorm, which greatly amused the negro sailors, who had never seen"white rain" before, but unfortunately for three of them, they gotfrostbitten and lost their legs. We got into New York at last on the25th of January, 1865, eight months from Hongkong!
