; Swiss and German 57, making a total of 592 souls, exclusive of 17 returning elders, as follow: H. W. Naisbitt, C. D. Evans, D. McArthur, J. H. Miles, W. H. Branch, J. Steele, J. Maycock, W. G. Sanders, T. A. Halgren (on account of poor health), A. Hanson, J. C. Thoresen, A. Tullgren, B. Nilson, J. Petersen, Jakob Muller, F. G. Froerer, J. R. Young.
Sisters Laker, Rickard, and Ferguson are with the company, after a brief visit to England. Everything looked favorable for a pleasant and speedy passage to the valleys of the growing West. May the spirit of Zion rest upon them, so shall they be prepared for absorption among those who are laboring for, and seeking her interest continually. . . ."

". . . A company of 218 emigrating Saints of eight returning missionaries sailed from Copenhagen on the steamer 'Bravo,' Sept. 7,1878, under the leadership of Elder August W. Carlson. The other returning missionaries were the following: Alfred Hanson, Axel Tullgren, Ingwald C. Thoresen, John E. Christiansen, Andrew F. Petersen, Truls A. Hallgren and Bengt Nilson. On Tuesday, Sept. 10th, the company arrived in Hull,
England, and the following day continued to journey to Liverpool by rail. Here the Scandinavian Saints, together with 321 British and 57 Swiss and German Saints, embarked on the steamer ' Wyoming' and sailed from Liverpool Sept. 14th. Henry W. Naisbitt who, during the absence of President Joseph F. Smith, had presided over the European Mission, was appointed leader of this company, with Daniel D. McArthur and Alfred Hanson as his assistants. Elder Carlson remained in Liverpool until the departure of the next emigrant company. On Sept. 25th the 'Wyoming' arrived safely at New York. During the voyage the emigrants encountered three days of stormy weather, which caused much seasickness among the passengers. An old Danish brother died the day before reaching America and was buried at sea. After a somewhat tiresome journey by rail from Jersey City, the company arrived in Salt Lake City, Oct. 3, 1878. . . ."
