[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 20th The North west gale still continues though not as strong As through the night. They now carry closs reef main & fore top sails. I am quite unwell to day having no sleep for two nights in consequence of the rough weather & tumbling of the ship. I shall know how to prize the privilege of one more setting my feet on land when I can get the chance of enjoying it.
We made a good dinner of Apple Dumpling to day made By Elder Stratton. The wind died away towards evening And they were enabled to carry Sail again but we were running far South of New York.
