[Wilford Woodruff]
... I opened a door for baptism and two offered themselves as candidates, which was Capt Justus Eames & his wife. We immediately walked to the sea shore and Elder Jonathan H. Hale lead them down into the sea & baptized them. These were the first Elder Hale ever baptized, & the first baptized upon the Islands of the sea (to my knowledge) in these last days by an Elder of Israel.
