The Abbie Expedition August 7, 1889

​
Winds from the northeast gave way to a storm, and lightning forced the Abbie to shelter on the shore. When the storm subsided, travel resumed, and the Abbie cruised to Two Harbors, coasting into the port on a large wave. While the rest of the crew trudged through the red mud of the town’s streets to reach the post office and send mail, Mox remained on the Abbie. That night, the men camped on Encampment Island, surrounded by fog.
