This is a reprinted article that had previously appeared in the Volume II, Number 1, 1929 issue of The New England Quarterly. This article contains the unique autobiographical account of a young girl, Laura Jernegan Spear, riding aboard a whaling ship, the Roman, with her mother, father, and younger brother, Prescott, beginning on October 29, 1868. Their route took them from New Bedford on the East Coast, around Cape Horn, and to Honolulu, Hawai'i. Laura was only 6.5 years old when she embarked on her voyage and ended her voyage at 9.5 years of age (Prescott began the voyage at 2). Editor Marcus Wilson Jernegan provides an introduction to Laura's diary. He notes how in his time, there has been an increased interest in publishing the diaries of "precocious" children. He says that while he considers Laura to be an "average" child, her account is notable for uniquely capturing a child's view and experience aboard a whaling ship. Marcus also notes the progression of Laura's writing ability in her diary; from about February 10-22, 1871, Laura writes in longer form. Extracts from Laura's diary follow. "Dec. 1st 1868; It is Sunday and a very pleasant day. I have read two story books. This is my journal. Good Bye For To Day" [her first entry]. "Monday 7th; They have taken four sperm whales. It is nice fun to see them." "Saturday 18th [1871]; it has been quite rough this afternoon. I want to go to Honolulu very much. Prescott is up on deck playing. I am going up now. Prescott first came down hear he [sic] did not speak to me. We saw a jumpper [sic]. Papa thougk [sic] it was a sperm whale, but it is not. Mama has 60 eggs [from her hens].". Signed by Author(s).
