They both get to reading, I to drawing; when presently in came Kelly, Dillon [Mapother] ?s hearty Irish friend, who hath been Canal surveying in Jersey. He & another with him went out to feed, after a talk, anon he returned, and we all turned out. But the fire bells ringing continuously, Brown & Waud set off at speed down Broadway and I followed. But the other twain did out-run me. Reached the spot, the end of Wall St, by the East River. Engines, a crowd, mud and water, great tumult, smoke & thats all. Stayed there half an hour, returned alone, to Erfords, found Kelly & crony there. With them till 12, then to bed. 13. Sunday. The three called. Waud called again after dinner. Out with him, to the Battery. A sunny, breezy, tranquil walk. Brightly & Mrs Warner at the Battery. Waud and I unable to get a boat, crossed to Brooklyn by the Hamilton Avenue Ferry, meeting Davis on the way. Returned anon, walked up to Reade Street together, where we parted. I supped at Sweeny ?s, then drew till 11, finishing big drawing for the Harpers. Then Title: Thomas Butler Gunn Diaries: Volume 5, page 167, March 12-13, 1853 . 12 March 1853.
