Nov 8th. Still coasting. We reached Sydney Heads at 7:00 P.M. and the wharf at 8:00 P.M. This fine harbor is narrow and about five miles long. At 9:00 P.M. I took a cab to James Peg's, three and a half miles. He and his wife were expecting two of us. I was soon made at home. When I knocked, Sister Peg cried, "Come in, Brother Miller, I know you." Brother Peg is an English pensioner, who is over 76 and is laying up means to migrate to Utah. I was shown several clippings from papers about Madam Stenhouse's lectures against the Mormons. She is false and insinuating, and, doubtless, her lecture is prepared by other than her own pen.
