ABSTRACT

After leaving Sligo Bay we had a fair Wind for the first Week, which carried us a long Way, since that Time it has been variable and adverse. To-day it is calm, thick, hazy Weather. The Fiddler has been of great Service; he makes happy Faces and nimble Feet all around him.

Account from the wife of Captain Purdon of the Yeoman which sailed from Sligo to New Brunswick in June 1847 bringing tenants from Sir Robert Gore Booth’s estate. Second report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords on Colonization from Ireland, HC 1847–8 (368), xlvii, pp 262–3
