[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 23d We hoisted Anchor at 8 oclok And A steemer hiched onto us & took us into the Channel about 15 miles & left us. We then made sail for our course. The ship was However searched before the Steemer left for smuglers when 5 persons were found stowed away in the Hold. They were printices had run away from there Masters. They were taken on shore And probably had to return to there Masters. We sailed through the day before A light breeze. And while my wife Children And other friends are crossing the Atlantic to New orleans on the ship Liverpool I Am now starting to cross the Same sea to New York. May the Lord preserve us all safe to meet again is my prayer.
