[President Wilford Woodruff Journal] 17 The board of Saltair Railway with many of our families went to the Saltair Beach & [spent] 5 Hours there. Had a feast & visited the Hot springs & rode out to the pile Driven half a mile from shore. We were in 3 feet of Salt water. Broke a tug & began to sink in the sand. Brother Longford Carried me from one Carriage to the other. Mended the tug & we got ashore. The Lake is still falling. We got to the City at 6 ock. 40 mil.
