http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48928836

Journal (ca. 225 p.), covering an unusually long time, includes many details of sailor life on the West coast and describes at least three voyages between Oct. 1861 and Oct. 20, 1868. The first, from Boston around the Horn on the Ringleader to the West Coast, contains observations on unusual scenery at the Horn, the burning of the clipper ship, Polynesia, Victoria, B.C., now a larger town and the scene of an Indian fight, Port Madison, Wash., New Year's in San Francisco, the San Francisco fire of 1862, and news of Lincoln's assasination. On Dec. 5, 1865, Carey shipped to New York, then served as first mate on the bark, Priscilla, journeying to Bordeaux by way of New Orleans, arriving there for Mardi Gras. A third trip took him from New York to Latin America and back.
