Monday, August 14, 1899...
"...Made arrangements with Henry Mellinchamp [sic], the pilot, to take my meals with him at forty pesos ($20.00) a mouth. Met his wife, Doña Emilia [Castro] Anderson, who is said to be the most attractive and witty matron of Agaña. She is the grand-daughter of John Anderson, a Scotchman, who settled in Guam about 1819, and served the government as pilot and interpreter for years. The eldest daughter [Maria Victoria Anderson Millenchamp] of Henry and Dona Emilia is the wife of Captain Pedro [Maria Andujar] Duarte, of the Spanish Army, who served as military aid to the late Spanish governor of Guam. Don Pedro is about to resign his commission in order to remain on the island with his wife and little ones.
Back to the ship for the night."
(Note: Lt. Safford arrived on Guam on the Yosemite and during his tour on Guam served as the first Deputy Governor of Guam; following the cessation of Guam from Spain to the U.S. negotiated in the Treaty of Paris. He known for his journals published in 'The Plant World.')
