"The ship Isaac Newton sailed from Liverpool October 15th, 1840, with a small company of Scotch Saints, under the direction of Elders Samuel Mulliner and Alexander Wright. The passage cost £2 17s 6d for adults, and 19s 3d for children. After a most pleasant passage of forty-eight and one half days, the company arrived in New Orleans in the evening of December 2nd. On the 4th they started on a steamboat for St. Louis, the fare being $400 for an adult. The water in the river was low, and the emigrants were delayed several days in consequence thereof; but they finally arrived in St. Louis December 17th. Elder Mulliner was unsuccessful in his attempt to hire a boat to take the company to Nauvoo, and therefore a number of the emigrants remained at Alton, Illinois, until the following spring, when they reached Nauvoo in safety."
