A Harvard undergraduate becomes a sailor collecting hides along the coast of California. He is going to be aboard the ship for 2-3 years. He talks about the night watches and how 2 men are on watch every few hours switching off. Once they get to a port they have to carry barrels to shore over their heads with no shoes. They have been to a few ports so far and right now they are in San Pedro.

They reached shore and the sailors have a liberty day which means they get to go on shore and do whatever they want. Then they got to San Diego and spent three days unloading the hides, bringing them onto shore. After they sailed to San Juan's which is half way to San Pedro. It is also Lent so Easter Sunday is coming soon.
