The Abbie Expedition July 28, 1889

​​Though the morning was clear, barometer readings and strong winds warned of more bad weather to come. The crew chose to stay on land. Howard Longyear and Dr. Tappey amused themselves by exploring the old tracks of the abandoned Union Copper Mine. J.M. Longyear and E.W. Sparrow took the camera and fishing rods to an old bridge. They snapped some pictures and caught a laughably small trout.
