Crossing England by train

"Here we were until Monday forenoon when we disembarked at Hull, England. We were all glad that the North Sea lay behind us. We were lucky as none of those in our company were sick to speak of, just eased up some on our lunch basket, as thus far we had to furnish our own eats. Monday evening we boarded a train through England. Now we got a fast ride."

Excerpt from Sigrid's account of her journey to America, written in 1919.
