[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] Feb 4th Dark And Rainy. Light Head breeze. At 4 oclok the whole Heavens coverd blacknes. It was expected a severe gale was at hand. All sail were spread when the squall struck the ship. All sail was then furled as soon as possible the passengers went out to assist but the wind soon Changed to the North East And the sails were spread before it And we had for once A fair breeze but it did not last long but shifted to various points. We did not have so rough a night as was expected.
