The ‘Winifredian’ is a Leyland Line steamer and is not a regular passenger boat, but it is provided with saloon accomodations for a number of [BLANK SPACE] first class passengers; hence we have the best the boat affords.

The following details were of the voyage of this company of Saints are culled from the private journal of Elder Andrew Jenson:
Sunday, Feb. 26, 1905. We obtained permission to hold services on board. Hence we held a meeting in the music hall from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. The speakers were Elders Wm. O Greer, Samuel O Sudbury, Andrew Jenson, Chas. H Abbisher and John W Holden. We had a good little meeting, attended by nearly all the Saints on board. In the afternoon the sea got quite rough, as the wind blew hard and some of the passengers began to feel the effects of the sea sickness. At 5 p.m. we passed the Fastness light house on our right. At noon we were in lat 51 deg. 42 min. and long 8 deg. 4 min and 230 miles from Liverpool.
Monday Feb. 27. The wind blew almost a hurricane all night and the sea was terribly rough. It was impossible to sleep as we were tossed to and fro in our bunks as the gessel rolled and some of the passengers actually rolled out of their births during the night. Very few of the passengers showed up at breakfast, but I was among the number who did and enjoyed my meals throughout. The storm continued all day. At noon we were in lat. 51 deg. 20 min. and long 12 deg. 50 min., and we had only progressed 185 miles during the past 24 hours. I spent most of the day feeding and comforting the sick.
Tuesday, Feb 28. We had another rough night, though scarcely as bad as the preceding one. I spent the day reading and conversing with fellow-passengers. At noon we were in lat 52 deg. 6 min. and long. 19 deg. 3 min. and our progress the past 24 hours was 240 miles. The weather moderated considerably during the day, and we enjoyed a fine, sociable time in the music room in the evening.
Wednesday, March 1. We arose to find the weather beautiful and the sea so smooth that we could dispense with racks at the breakfast table. At noon we were in lat 50 deg. 14 min. and long. 27 deg. 2 min. and had traveled 327 miles during the past 24 hours. Elder Joseph E Jorgensen, one of the returning Elders from Scandinavia, who attempted to commit suicide before being released from his mission, is being guarded night and day. Another Elder, Louis E Johnson, who has been sea-sick ever since he came on board also shows sign of an unbalanced mind and he has to be guarded in turn by the Elders. Otherwise the company is now well.
Thursday, Mar. 2. Another fair day and nearly all the passengers now show up at the tables. At noon the ship’s log read: lat. 48 deg. 42 min, and long. 34 deg. 15 min; distances traveled (for 24 hours), 300 miles. I spent the forenoon writing and the afternoon playing checkers, shuffle boards, etc., and in the evening we listened to singing and instrumental music, there being two violinists, one pianst, and one guitar player in our party. Later in the evening we participated in some playes which I introduced, and all retired for the night in a happy mood.
Friday, Mar. 3. The morning brought a violent gale from the starboard, but it only lasted a few hours and then we had a fair, yet cloudy day. At noon we were in lat 46 deg. 38 min. and long 41 deg. 11 min.; distances traveled since yestarday, 300 miles.
Saturday, Mar. 4. We passed another quiet day on board and were making preparation for some enjoyment tonight, when a terrible gale sprung up which soon sent the ship rocking at a fearful rate and the storm continued almost the entire night.
Sunday, Mar 5. We arose after a restless night, but the weather was better in the morning. We held a testimony meeting in the forenoon from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. Nearly all who did not speak last Sunday bore testimony today. Just before we closed, a cold wave reached us and it commenced to snow thick and fast the remainder of the day. But notwithstanding the rocking of the vessel the Saints assembled in the music room and listened to me giving a lecture on my travels around the world. I spoke one hour and 25 minutes and was listened to with wrapt attention. No log of our progress has been posted up since Friday, as the sun shone not at all since that day.
Monday, Mar. 6. The weather continued wet and stormy, with only a little lull in the afternoon, during which the machinery was stopped four a short time and also observations taken. We had considerable singing during the day and an interesting program in the evening at which I was chairman. The exercises included songs in English, German, French, Swedish, Dutch (Holland) and Danish, selections by the band, recitations, etc., and closed by singing, ‘Come, come ye Saints,” and benediction bu Elder Henry Franks.
Tuesday, Mar. 7. A beautiful, clear, yet cold day dawned and all enjoyed an invigorating promenade on deck. A number of fishing vessels were seen in different directions. At noon observations were taken and the result of the past four days given in the ship’s log as follows:
Sat. 4. Lat. 44 deg. 27 min; long 47 deg. 53 min.; distance 324 miles
Sun. 5 “ 43 “ 48 min; “ 52 “ 20 “ 200 “
Mon. 6 “ 43 “ 35 min “ 59 “ 30 324 “
Tues. 7. “ 42 “ 53 min “ 62 “ 53 “ 328”
Total distance from Liverpool, 2758 miles; distance to go, 205 miles; total distance from Liverpool to Boston, the way we have come, 2963 miles. We spent a pleasant day on board and the passengers were busy writing letters, etc.,
Wednesday, Mar 8. The morning was foggy and consequently the progress was slow. At 9:30 the pilot came on board and later the doctor, custom house officers, etc., A general scare prevailed for a little while because of a proposition made by the doctor that all on board should be vaxinated or go into quarantine, but it ended with vaccinating only the crew. At 2 o’clock p.m. we were safely on the dock at East Boston, when we passed through the custom house examinations, etc., and then crossed the ferry (‘Gov. Russell’), I riding in a hack , to the North Union station in Boston proper. Here I parted with the company. (A.J.’s Journal).” [BMMH, 1905]. (source abbreviations)
