Oct. 20th, 1875. At Sydney Heads the pilot comes aboard. At 7:15 Health and Quarantine officers on board, and, passing quarantine, we steam on and drop anchor at noon four miles from Melbourne. A heavy gale is blowing and the sea is too rough to transship.
Note. We have been greatly blessed on the voyage and feel that our prayers have been answered in being brought safely across the mighty deep so many thousand miles. It is the quickest time the "Great Britain" has ever made and how nobly she rode the gigantic waves in the hurricane! Our journey is completed; our duty lies before us. God grant us that fullness of the Holy Ghost, promised and given by the Savior to His Disciples may lead us into all truth, bring past things to our remembrance and show us things to come.
