THE LAST LIGHTHOUSE LEAVING IRELAND DAY 3

Day 3 Monday, November 11th, 1867

Then Monday the tinder came with passengers from Queenstown and got them on board about 11:00 in the morning. This morning two boats came along to the ship with women who had apples and oranges to sell.

We had rough sea and most of the passengers were sick. We passed Lochhaven Lighthouse at 5:00 in the evening. Then we passed Scullhead Lighthouse at 7:00 P.M. Scullhead stands on the north side of Ireland. This is the last lighthouse that we see leaving Ireland. 

I went to bed at 9:00. This was Monday the 11th. But, I have omitted to say that on Saturday after we came on board, we were all told to go to the cabin deck. And, then we passed before the doctor and gave him our duplicate ticket to them.

Then on the Sabbath, after dinner, we were ordered on deck again and ordered to show the other part of our ticket which one of the officers took from us and gave them to the storage steward. I thought we ought to have been able to have kept part of the ticket.

We had a pretty calm sea on Monday, the 11th. They had some of her sails set in the evening. The wind was on the left side.
