money by some pickpocket. It was about midnight when we dejectedly re-entered the coach. Mother sang in tongues which dispelled the awful gloom caused by the incident at such a time and place. Arriving at Landsburg on the Savoy side, the coaches were taken off the sleds; and we continued in coaches to Lyons, France. From that city, we went to Paris by rail, then to Calais by rail, then on board a steamer across the channel to London, England. Then again by rail to Liverpool where we remained about three weeks waiting for the ship Juventa which sailed about the first of April for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, There were five hundred and seventy-three saints on board headed by Elder William Glover, After arriving at Philadelphia the fifth of May 1855, we went by rail to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by steamboat down the Ohio river to St. Louis up the river to Atchison, Kansas and finally by ox team to Mormon grovethe place provided for organizing the emigrants into companies and for providing all equipments for the journey over the plains and rocky mountains to Utah. While at the grove, many were stricken with Cholera. Elder Joseph Hall, who was the appointed commissary at the camp, stated that out of over three hundred victims, only three survived. I was one of the three. While at Liverpool, President Franklin D. Richards visited us and promised our mother that she should see all her family safe in Zion. When she saw me writhing in agony, she was much distressed and wondered what she had done to forfeit that blessing. However, when one of the dreadful paroxysms of cramps release me so I could speak, I told the weeping ones around me not to fear but to send for the elders to administer to me and I could get well. After the ordinance was performed. Apostle John Taylor, who was one of the three elders who administered to me, speaking in French to my mother, said that through my faith, I should recover and none of the family should be smittenthat she would see all her family safe in Zion. All of their promises were verified in spite of many incidents that happened on the way to try our faith. On account of such conditions we did not leave Mormon Grove until the twenty-fifth of July when we started on our journey under the leadership of Elder James Harper, captain of the company. Following the trail across the plains of Kansas and various Indian territories, we were ofttimes terrorized by a band of the natives who savagely demanded hostage for our trespassing on their domains. Thereupon, Captain Harper would wisely propitiate with gifts of various kinds such as: flour, sugar, cutlery, and a variety of trinkets, etc., in order to procure and preserve peace with them. Another cause of alarm was the great herds of buffalo which, when on their transition, never deviate from their course. They heeded no obstacle and were liable to go right through a camp or train as the case might be. So with the savage Indians and the invincible buffalo, we were at any time in danger of our lives. I shall not attempt to describe the hardships and difficulties we encountered on our way; however, I shall relate one little incident which so clearly proves the efficacy of faith. My twin
