[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] Feb 21 We had quite A comfortable Still night last night. Wind has changed to the South west And we have a smooth sea. We tack ship at 6 oclock this morning on the Northern which enables us to run nearly our course for the hard N western gales has blown us South of the gulf stream nearly opposite the Bermuda Island. But we are now again running towards N York about 10 not an hour.
My stomach is much out of order. Constant risings of the stomach causes me to spit so much that it is vary injurious to my health.
Wind turned against us again in the afternoon. It again blew a gale in the evening & nearly all sail was taken in And we had another rough night. We gain but little if any on our journey. We are sumthing as at the beginning tosting about against head winds without making head way.
