Brian Condon: Diary of John Thomas Hynes, 1843-1868
June 1st. At 11 o'clock a.m. weighed anchor and stood out to sea.
1847. June 29th. Feast of the Apostles - Late this night we anchored off the lightship of Demerara.
30th. Came to shore and to my inexpressible grief found that S. Joseph's was still in the occupation of Mr. Wolseley. The nuns were obliged to sleep on board this night.
