Monday, April 9.--Desiring to be in Ireland as soon as possible, I hastened to Liverpool
and found a ship ready to sail; but the wind was contrary, till on Thursday morning the
captain came in haste and told us the wind was come quite fair. So Mr. Floyd, Snowden,
Joseph Bradford, and I, with two of our sisters, went on board. But scarcely were we out at
sea when the wind turned quite foul and rose higher and higher. In an hour I was so affected
as I had not been for forty years before. For two days I could not swallow the quantity of a
pea or anything solid and very little of any liquid. I was bruised and sore from head to foot
and ill able to turn me on the bed.
