". . . A company of Scandinavian Saints (the 60th company from Scandinavia), 108 or 109 souls, left Copenhagen Oct. 13, 1882, on the steamer 'Cato' under the leadership of Elder Peter O. Hansen, assisted by Elders Lars N. Larson, Jens Jenson and Andrew O. Anderson, returning missionaries. After a successful voyage across the North Sea, the 'Cato' arrived safely at Hull, England, on the 16th, and the Saints were conveyed to Liverpool by train the same day. Together with 279 British Saints and 24 returning missionaries from Great Britain, they embarked on the steamer 'Abyssinia,' which sailed Oct. 21st. Elder George Stringham [Stringfellow] was appointed leader of this company. The voyage across the Atlantic Ocean lasted 13 days, on account of unfavorable weather, but the company reached New York safely Nov. 3rd. From there the journey was continued westward by train to Ogden and Salt Lake City, where the emigrants arrived Nov. 10, 1882. One death occurred, that of a two year old child, near Laramie. Not for many years had there been so large an emigration from Europe as during 1882. . . ."
