Page 3 - Describes how the single women thought the ship to on fire and later after the lights went out the mayhem that ensues when passengers though the ship to be sinking. be thankfull - 24th I have spent another night without being in bed - oh how fearful has been the scene last night the young women imagined that the Ship was on Fire fearing to alarm the Passengers I went again on the deck got the Chief mate who quietly examined the room but thank God we escaped so great a Calamity as there was nothing the matter but their fears - again we have had another alarm, a Choping is heard and (?)-ancy has made it the cutting down the masts and riging - The lights went out at four clock and now I never can describe the confusion that took place,hearing the noise of the sea they mis took it in the dark for the rushing in of the water at the port holes, here every man and woman I believe were calling on their God and declaring that if spared they would never do as they had done before. The Irish in particular - oh oh it is awful to think of this as God only knows whether or not we shall all or any of us get safe to land - 25th what a Christmas Day all in the sick room except self, Mary Reid You can access the diary on our website here and read a full transcript here.
