Edward Brewer and Immigrant Saints' Deliverance from a Storm at Sea

“The voyage across the Atlantic is one that will long be remembered. We ourselves fared well, with the exception of four days, when the night out from Queenstown we encountered a heavy gale, and nearly all on board were afflicted with the unpleasant sickness, and the circumstances for a while looked quite dark for the Saints, as well as the crew; the steerage were unable to get on deck. We were afraid of some disease breaking out. On the fourth day I told the Saints that the winds and waves were so soon to cease if we would only show faith in our prayers, and toward night, under favorable promptings, we all felt with one accord to offer our petitions, and immediately the wind came more from the north, and the clouds broke away, and more canvas was put on. The next day all hands were able to come on deck again, for which we felt to rejoice.”
