In the morning, the men patched a leak in the ship. By 10:30 AM, the Abbie was back in motion, heading across Superior Bay to Duluth. The men resupplied while in the city. A small boy watching the activity remarked aloud that the peculiar craft must be a grocery-boat. The Abbie men went to a restaurant and found it lacking, concluding they must have been spoiled by the excellent cooking Mox and Henry Longyear had provided throughout the trip. By 5 PM, the ship continued on, leaving Dr. Tappey behind to return to his home and medical practice.
