There were 171 from the British Isles, 197 from Scandinavia and Norway, 21 from Switzerland and Germany, and from Palestine, also 17 returning missionaries."

"Sat. 27. [Aug. 1887] -- The steamship Wisconsin sailed from Liverpool, England, with over four hundred Saints, in charge of John I. Hart. The company arrived in New York Aug. 27th and in Salt Lake City Sept. 15th."

". . . A company of emigrating Saints destined for Utah (165 souls), together with eight returning missionaries, sailed from Copenhagen, Aug. 18, 1887, per steamship 'Bravo' under the direction of Jens C. Nielsen, of Moroni, Utah, a returning elder. The names of the other returning elders were: Johan L. Berg, Joseph Anderson, Peter Anderson, Christian Frandsen, James J. Anderson, Mouritz Mouritzen, and Hemming Hansen. The passage of this company of emigrants across the North Sea was pleasent in the early part of the voyage and the Saints frequently grouped on the deck singing hymns and enjoying themselves. On Friday evening a brisk wind sprung up which soon put the sea into an uproar, causing violent heavings of the vessel and universal seasickness among the passengers. However on Sunday morning, Aug. 21st, the ship arrived in Hull, but owing to low water could not cross the bar until the evening. The steamship 'Rolla' which had sailed from Christiania, Aug. 19th, with 32 emigrating Saints, in charge of Elder Anthon Anderson, arrived in Hull about the same time, and the two companies being united then constituted 198 Saints, besides nine returning missionaries. On Monday morning, August 22nd, the emigrants passed through the custom house in Hull, and then continued the journey by rail to Liverpool, where they arrived in the afternoon of the same day and were taken to a hotel on Kent Square. In Liverpool the emigrants went on board the steamship 'Wisconsin,' together with emigrating Saints and returning elders from the British Isles (about 400 souls in all), in charge of Elder John I. Hart, a returning elder. The company, after a safe voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, arrived in New York, August 27th. Thence the journey was continued to Salt Lake City, Utah. . . . "
