CHAPTER V 



WE GO TO LABRADOR AND START WORK 



ON June 15, 1892, the good ship Albert, 97 tons 

 register, and 151 displacement, was towed out 

 of Great Yarmouth Harbour, and amidst many fare- 

 wells from wharves, quays and piers, spread her 

 canvas for her first transatlantic voyage. Trimmer 

 ship never left port bound on such a journey. Stout 

 timbers, teakwood decks, iron hatches, new running 

 gear nothing had been forgotten and in light airs 

 of summer or whole gales in winter, I want no 

 snugger vessel. The four voyages made by her at 

 present, under the care of Captain Trezise and his 

 crew of eight men, certainly deserve notice here. 



1892. Bound out. From Fastnet Rock to St. 

 Johns. Nineteen days.
