The Steamer Morning Star

“The Morning Star is my personal property, built with my own money. Further than this, the running expenses of this boat have all been paid from my own income. I will also say that the living expenses on the boat were always met by myself. Often the company numbered from ten to eighteen hands.... Even the salaries of all the workers employed by the Society for years were not taken from donations, but from my own personal income. GSAM 436.4
