". . . A small company of emigrants (14 souls) sailed from Christiania, Norway, May 27, 1887, bound for Utah, under the direction of Carl F. Carlson, a returning elder. After an ordinary passage across the North Sea, the little company arrived safely in England, where they joined a larger company of emigrating Saints, who sailed from Copenhagen, May 30th.
A larger company of emigrating Saints (138 in number) destined for the gathering places of the Saints in America, sailed from Copenhagen May 30, 1887, per steamship 'Argo,' together with 11 elders from Zion returning to their homes, namely: Peter Mattson, Jens W. Jensen, James Yorgason, Jens C. Nielsen (of Gentile Valley, Idaho), Niels Peter Petersen, Jens James Petersen, Hans Christian Petersen, Jens Christian Nielsen (of Brigham City, Utah), Niels A. Anderson, Niels Jorgensen and Christian Thomsen Balle.
After a successful voyage, lasting two days and 11 hours (spending two nights on the North Sea), the good ship 'Argo' brought its precious cargo safely to Hull, England
, June 1st. On the voyage the Saints assembled for prayer morning and night and the officers of the ship treated the emigrants with kindness. On their arrival in Liverpool they were at once taken on board the steamship 'Wyoming,' and on the 3rd of June the Norwegian Saints who had already spent several days in Liverpool, went on board. The 'Wyoming' sailed from Liverpool on Saturday, May 14th, [June 4] having on board 159 Saints, including 14 returning elders, in charge of Jens C. Nielsen. The voyage across the Atlantic was pleasant, though there were several days of windy weather causing some seasickness. The number of passengers was increased during the passage on the morning of June 11th, when Sister Ramstrom, from Stockholm, Sweden, gave birth to a daughter, to whom was given the name Oceana. the emigrants landed in New York, June 15th, whence they continued the voyage the same day in the afternoon on the fine steamship 'Seneca' (of the Old Dominion Line), and after a pleasant passage along the American coast, they arrived in Norfolk, Virginia, on the 16th. From there the emigrants journeyed by rail to Salt Lake City, where they arrived June 23rd. . . . "
