Autobiography 1883 Tullidge's Quarterly Magazine
On Sunday, the , I
met with a large assembly of Saints and
friends, and again commenced baptizing
such as would receive my testimony.
After visiting the North Island and
holding meetings with the Saints there,
and baptizing two after meeting, I em-
barked on board a sloop, with Captain
Coombs, for another island called the
Isle of Holt. We arrived at noon, and
I preached to the people at night in their
school house, and had an attentive
audience. I spent the night with John
Turner, Esq., who purchased a copy of
the Book of Mormon.
On the following day we returned to
Fox Islands, and as St. Paul once had to
row hard to make the land in a storm,
we had to row hard to make it in a
calm.
After preaching on the North Island
again and baptizing two persons at the
close of the meeting, I returned again to
the mainland in company with Mrs.
Woodruff and others, where I spent fif-
teen days, during which time I visited
among the people, held twelve meetings
and baptized several persons.
