Having just received a copy of Notebooks and Journals, Vol II, I'm
puzzling over a minor detail regarding his voyage with Twichell to and
from Bermuda.  In the article "Rambling Notes..." and in his journal he
writes of the resurrection from seasickness as the boat arrives in
Bermuda.  But, in his journal he writes of the infallible remedy being
administered by a doctor in Bermuda.  On the first day out from
Bermuda, by 7 P.M. All the ladies are sea-sick and gone to bed except a
Scotchman's wife, and she caved by 7:30.  There is no resurrection on
the journey home and there is no infallible remedy for the journey to
Bermuda.
