[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 4th We touched at Milwake & other places during the day. At night the wind arose & the Lake was vary rough. The Captain said it was the roughest time He ever saw in August. There seems to be some fatality attending my journeying on this Chain of Lake. Twice I have been wrecked on lake Michigan with my family & the boats nearly destroyed. We were in no particular danger last night ownly nearly all on board were sick. Myself & family was quite sick.
