Tliis was the 17th day of January, 184:9.
The effect on myself w^as magical. The power of will revived with tenfold vigor, and this, with the kind and assiduous care of Dr. Samuel Haley, soon gained the victory. Life conquered, death vanished, and in a few days I was able to sit up, and from my window look out upon the first American steamer that ever floated in Pacific waters, riding proudly at an- chor in the harbor of Panama.
"With the arrival of the steamer California at Panama commenced sc...enes of wild excitement, wdiicli continued for days and even weeks.
7() THE ROMANCE OF THE AGE; OE, Here were congregated Imudreds of adventurers, many of tliem wild and reckless, and all more or less actuated by the most powerful motives by which man is moved, namely, fear, or a de- sire to flee from a sickly place on the one hand, and the auri sacra fames on the other ; and but few of all these had their passage secured on the steamer California.
It will be remembered that no news of the discovery of gold in California had reached New York when the steamer California sailed for the Pacific, and she had been fitted up to ac- commodate only about seventy-five passengers, No sooner, therefore, had she dropped anchor in the harbor of Panama, than Zachary & Nelson, the agents of the steamer, directed that every arrangement to carry the largest number of passengers possible should be made.
