From thence up to the ninth inning there were no more runs made, but in the ninth Leeds and Dow each succeeded in getting in an earned run, making the game one to two in our favor.

...allotted for breakfast would be shortened nearly one half, since, in order to reach chapel, one must get to breakfast at least as early as half past seven; and even then there would be no enjoyment of the meal, but a rapid shovelling process, alike disagreeable and detrimental, would take place. Should we fail, by reason of a morning nap or otherwise, to reach the hall before this early hour, either breakfast or chapel must be sacrificed.
