Pomeroy gift. Aliss Gertrude Pomeroy has presented the unpub¬
lished manuscript diary which her father, Edward Noyes Pomeroy,
kept exactly a century ago, when he served as a common sailor on
a ship which carried a cargo of "deals" from the provinces to Wales.
Edward Noyes Pomeroy was born in Maine in 1836, and attended
Dartmouth and Bowdoin Colleges until his health failed during
his junior year. A sea trip was advised, and he sailed to the British
Isles on the voyage which this diary particularizes. The diary
covers the period from September 17, 1857, to April 2, 1858.
