Moodie describes her arrival at Grosse Isle, where she and fellow passengers face the grim reality of quarantine measures. Through vivid descriptions, she depicts the chaotic scene as sick and healthy emigrants navigate the challenges of disembarkation while being assessed for disease. The narrative captures her deep longing for home and the beauty of the Canadian landscape, juxtaposed with the harshness of the emigrant experience, setting the stage for her reflections on the pursuit of a better life in a new world.
