By the second month out, the ship was being buffeted by strong westerly gales, causing the ship's timbers to be badly shaken with caulking failing to keep out sea water, and with passengers, even in their berths, getting wet. This, combined with a lack of proper rations and unsanitary conditions for several months, contributed to sicknesses. On the way, there were two deaths, a crew member and a passenger.

He passed into a <a href="/wiki/Coma" title="Coma">coma</a> and "never spake more". His wife, Kathrine, died soon after her husband.
