One of two bound journals of Charles Henry Bennett of Pennsylvania who journeyed to California via ship, worked in the gold fields of California, and then sailed as a passenger on a freighter to Hawaii before his eventual voyage back home around Africa via the Cape of Good Hope. Volume two begins August 5, 1849 with the brig Osceola dropping anchor in San Francisco Bay. The mostly undated entries continue for 41 pages describing work in the gold fields and ending on a "Saturday morning" [no month or year]. The next series of entries, beginning Wednesday, October 31 [no year], closely match the content found in Volume 1 for the October 31,1860 trip to the Sandwich Islands aboard the ship Memnon, and sometimes expand on them. The entries in this volume for this trip are also more complete than those in volume 1 and proceed to describe the entire voyage from San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands and then on to Canton and Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, the Cape of Good Hope, and the East Coast of the United States. The final entry in this portion of the journal is dated April 7 [1861] "around 60 miles from Sand Hook" [New Jersey?].
