By letter from Elder H. [Henry] E. Bowring, dated July 5th, and written on the S. S. "Wyanoke," of the Old Dominion Line, we learn the following:

"After leaving Queenstown we encountered a head wind and rough sea for three days; most of the company on the Wyoming were seasick, but afterwards all seemed to enjoy the remainder of the voyage very much. We held three meetings on board, and took pleasure in bearing our testimony that God had spoken and restored his gospel. Before leaving the Wyoming we expressed our appreciation of the kindness extended towards us and our company by the captain and officers of the good ship, who were exceedingly kind. At New York Mr. Gibson gave us instructions and everything worked like a charm. On board the S. S. "Wyanoke" all were well cared for, and we left yesterday, July 4th, at 3 p.m. for Norfolk. The accommodation for steerage passengers was not so good as we might wish, through having some horses on board. We have a good company, and thus far I think the record the Saints have made is very praiseworthy. We have a railroad agent with us who is doing all in his power for our comfort under the circumstances. We expect to reach Norfolk at 5 p.m., and have no fears but what all will be well. God has blessed us on the sea, and we trust him on land." [p.491]
