196 Excitements, vessels arriving every day with passengers, bound for the diggings not one that is willing to stop short of the mines-- hundreds are leaving for them dayly. Saturday Oct 6th.- Pleasant the evenings are rather chilly and damp here- my diarrhoea some better, but the Scurvy- about the same as yesterday.- and still they come by seas & land- while others leave for the mines, all wild with excitement.- Sunday Oct 7th,- Cloudy all day with fog. I attended Church in the am, with Saml Greene and his friend Cohen- the audience was composed of a most singular set- with but one or two Ladies - the rest all men, and in as many colors and styles of dress, as you could possibly imagined, half of the audience in their Red & Blue Shirt Sleeves "Woolen," with now & then, a white one- this the only Protestant Church here at present, an Orthodox Rev Mr Wheeler, as Pastor of same.-
