. . . Our company of Scandinavian Saints consisted of fourteen returning elders and 222 immigrating Saints, these being from Denmark, Sweden and Norway. We sailed from Copenhagen on the S. S. "Panther," commanded by Captain Charles Smith. We loosed from the pier at just 11:25 a.m. on August 25. After passing through the usual amount of seasickness and other experiences incident to travel by "land lubbers", our ship anchored at Hull, England, on August 29, at four p.m.

On August 30, we crossed England by rail to Liverpool. On the next day we boarded the S. S. Wyoming of the Guion Line, and at 4 p.m., she raised anchor, and we were on our way to the new world.

We were, all told, four hundred ninety six immigrants on board, thirty one being returning missionaries. There were also about three hundred other passengers. Sixty of these were first class passengers, among the latter were the returning elders.

Wednesday morning, September 10, we were all safely landed in the New York Harbor. We were transferred the same day to the Lake Erie Railroad Station and placed aboard the train, leaving at 8:20 p.m. Arriving in Salt Lake City, Utah, September 17, 1884, I again met my dear family and many friends, certainly the happiest meeting that I had ever before experienced in all my life. . . .
