From the
Old Spencer Needle Miss Josephine Wortman, of Siikanen Saarikosken Kyla, arrived in Spencer Tuesday morning coming direct from her home in Finland. She was three weeks and one day on the ocean and experienced a very rough voyage. It was necessary to bail water and keep the pumps on the vessel running most of the time, owing to a leak that sprung into the vessel. Miss Wortman had planned to come on the vessel that preceded the one she came on, but her parents persuaded her to wait until the next vessel. The first vessel was sunk at sea. She was sick most of the way and only ate three meals during the three weeks aboard the vessel.
