Read the passage from "Sailing To America."
During the crossing, passengers received a weekly ration of bread,
biscuits, flour, rice,
molasses, and oatmeal, which they had to cook for
themselves. In
steerage, people slept, ate, and cooked all in the same
room, and they weren't
allowed on deck when the weather was bad.

molasses, and oatmeal. In steerage, they stayed in the same room and
couldn't
leave when the weather was bad because of the risks.
