"The fourth ship, Arkwright, chartered for the emigration of a portion of the Latter-day Saints, cleared from the port of Liverpool for New York, on the 30th ultimo, having on board 395 American adults, or 451 souls, as passengers. Elder Justin C. Wixom was appointed president, and Elders Harry Luff and Hyrum P. Folsom his counsellors: these appointments were unanimously sustained by the vote of the passengers. The captain of the ship, D. P. Calkin, and other officers, called the crew to order, when general instructions from several of the elders, were imparted to the Saints who were exhorted to preserve good order, and cleanliness; to live prayerful and upright lives; to be patient and forbearing one towards another; to render assistance to the weak and feeble; and to hearken diligently to the counsel of those appointed to preside over them: on condition of faithfulness they were promised protection and safety throughout the great journey which was before them. Immediately upon the sailing of the ship a fresh breeze sprang up from the east, and the vessel was wafted swiftly upon her voyage towards the promised land."
