The boat started moving very early this morning and by daylight they arrived at Vicksburg. They stopped there to load coal.
Some of the men of the 130th probably thought back to the last time they were in Vicksburg, 16 months earlier, just after the long siege on the city.
They on the river again about 1 o'clock in the afternoon and tied up at dark at Island No. 98, five miles above Vicksburg. They had a pleasant weather for traveling.
