"DEPARTURE. -- The third company of the season sailed on the S. S. Nevada, at 7 p.m. on the 29th instant. There were some 569 souls on board, 495 of the number being from the Scandinavian and Swedish Mission; 46 of these arrived in Liverpool on the 25th, in charge of Elder B. Jensen, it being impracticable for the company to come together; 449 arrived at 7 p.m. on the 27th, in charge of Elder N. M. Petersen, who proved to be an excellent superintendent. This section made the quickest trip on record, being only 51 1/2 hours in crossing the North Sea from Copenhagen to Hull, instead of the usual 70 hours. Mr. Ramsden, of Guion & Co., met the company at Hulll, and by his irrepressible force and indefatigable labor, aided materially in bringing them safely to Liverpool; the company went aboard the steamer immediately on arrival. The English section numbered 74, making a total of 569 souls. Of returning elders not included, there were from England Elders John Cook, L. D. Young, and J. E. Hyde; B. H. Schettler, from the Holland Mission; and from the Scandinavian and Swedish, Elders N. M. Peterson, B. Jensen, A. Henricksen, J. F. Dorius, O. Olson, O. Hanson, R. Christensen, returning to Utah. Of Scandinavian traveling elders who had been released were P. Petersen, N. P. Nielsen, F. Ibsen, and E. Ek, also V. Rhode, who had been lately assisting in the office of the Stjerne. The company were placed in charge of Elder John Cook, who would receive invaluable assistance from counselors Petersen and Olsen. May peace and prosperity attend the company, and may they prove to be a valuable addition to the building up of Zion."

". . . A company of emigrating Saints, 55 in number, sailed from Copenhagen June 21st, per steamer 'Humber,' in charge of Elder Bendt Jensen, a returning missionary. The ship arrived at Hull, England, in the evening of Monday, June 24th, and the following day, June 25th, the emigrants continued their journey by railroad to Liverpool, where they joined the larger company of emigrants from Scandinavia, crossing the Atlantic Ocean in the steamer 'Nevada.'
A company of emigrating Saints, 446 souls, sailed from Copenhagen, Denmark, June 24th, 1878, per steamer 'Cameo,' accompanied by seven returning missionaries, viz., Niels Mortensen (Petersen), leader of the company, Johan F. F. Dorius, Ola Olson, Rasmus Christensen, Ole Hanson and Andrew Hendriksen. Elder Valdemar Rhode, who had labored as a translator in the mission office in Copenhagen, was also among the emigrants. After a successful and uneventful voyage of fifty-one and one-half hours across the North Sea, the ship arrived in Hull, England, about 11:30 p.m. on the 26th, and on the following day (June 27th) the emigrants continued their journey by rail to Liverpool, where they were joined by the smaller company of emigrants which had sailed from Copenhagen June 21st. Their number was further augmented by seventy English Saints and four returning missionaries, and all boarded the steamship 'Nevada' which sailed from Liverpool June 29th. Elder Niels Mortensen (Petersen), who had charge of the larger company from Copenhagen, was appointed leader of the two Scandinavian companies, which united numbered 501 souls. When the whole company was organized for further travel at Liverpool, John Cook was appointed to take charge, with Niels Mortensen (Petersen) and Ole Olsson as his assistants. On the voyage Elder Joseph E. Hyde, who had been sick during his sojourn as a missionary in England, died, and his remains were packed in ice and sent to his home in Utah. A child of Scandinavian parentage, six months old, also died. The emigrants arrived in New York City July 10th and the journey was at once continued to Salt Lake City, where they arrived July 18th. . . ."
