Mormon Converts Embark for Utah From Rome Steerage
A group of Scottish and English converts with a few French among steerage passengers from Rome arrived in New York and headed for Utah. Elder Best of the Mormon church, who has spent a year abroad, said the converts believed their passage saved the ship from fire. He noted no alarm at news of a fire and stated no ship with a Mormon aboard has ever sunk. Best cited 18 missions in Great Britain, over 800 missionaries, and branches in Switzerland, Holland, and Sweden. He affirmed no polygamy since the church president urged adherence to American marriage laws. The converts departed for Utah soon after arrival.
