Excerpt from The Emigrants' Voyage to Canada
A severe attack of sea-sickness obli ged me to retire to my birth, which was so ted by a thin partition only from e place where all the emigrants lay. I sought repose in vain. Sea beat against the vessel with dread ful noise, and made her timbers creek and niver from one end to the other; and uring the short intervals of ex ternal quietness that sometimes occur red, my ears were filled with the moans, sighs, and complaints of those' who occupied the steerage. Much tumult, anxiety, and confusion, seemed to pre vail among them and ever time the ship rolled more violently t n usual; a host of ejaculations, shrieks, and screams, burst from the mouths of men; women, and children while the rolling of casks, the crashing of earthen ware, and the noise of articles of fur-s niture tossing from side'to' side, com pleted the discordant and terrifying combination of sounds.
