. . . By letter from Elder John O. Angus, dated New Orleans, April 29, we learn that the Old England arrived at the mouth of the Mississippi, April 24, after a pleasant voyage, excepting about 12 days tossing and tacking in the Irish Channel. No sickness occurred on board, excepting a little seasickness in the early part of the voyage, Ann, wife of Robert Wallace, from North Shields, was safely delivered of a daughter, March 15. The company kept the 6th of April by a fast in the morning, and a festival in the evening. While the vessel was lying alongside the wharf at New Orleans, Sister Wallace from North Shields, fell down the hatchway into the steerage, and for some time appeared badly hurt, lying apparently lifeless, but after the anointed with oil, and laying on of hands, she began to revive, and was doing well when Elder Angus wrote. Passage to St. Louis for the company, in connection with a few Danish Saints, and Brother Flewit and family from Birmingham, was engaged on board the "St. Nicholas." Brother Flewit and family arrived at New Orleans, on the "Colonel Cutts," the same day as the "Windermere." [p.346]
