[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 6th A Steemer hove in sight this morning on her way to Liverpool. Remained in sight about one hour. We still have A head wind. I was sea sick at night. We run about 7 nots per hour. We are in constant danger of being destroyed by fire through the carlessness of the passengers with there pipes And candles about there straw beds & crates of crockery filled with straw.
