THE LAST LIGHTHOUSE LEAVING IRELAND-DAY 4

Day 4-November 12th, 1867

Then on Tuesday morning they let out the rest of the cloth. But, it was only for about an hour and a half or so until they rolled it all up and tied it fast to the beams. This day about 10:00 in the morning, the passengers were ordered on deck and some were so sick that they were carried on deck. This day the carpenter nailed up a bill stating that immigrants should not give up their contract ticket to anyone but the immigrant official.

There was a side wind on this day and the sea was a little rough. Still, we had some stir on board. One man played the fiddle and some danced. This was on the deck below. They were also busy playing cards. On this day I saw a steamer. She was going to Liverpool. This was on the 12th of November.
