493 From Ireland to America. On "The starved ship." In 1740 he sailed to America on a vessel which was becalmed in the North Atlantic, the so-called "Starved Ship". The ship ran out of food, people died, and some ate the flesh of those who had died and became very ill. It was decided to kill and eat one of the passengers so the rest could survive. The lot fell on Samuel Fisher, but being Christian people thay gave him two days to prepare. In the meantime a ship hove in sight, saw the distress signals, and sent a boat to give them provisions - saving Samuel and his many descendants. The horror of that passage made a lasting impression on Samuel Fisher. He could not stand to see even a morsel of food wasted, or water thrown carelessly on the ground.

495 From Joan Campbell:
Mother’s 1934 travel with her Grandmother Matticks was a trip around the world, starting in New York and ending up in L.A. China was one of the last places they visited — I know they stopped in Ceylon, too, before that, and obviously there were European ports near the beginning. I’ll have to dig around and see if I have any more detail, such as the name of the ship they took from NYC. In the depths of the depression, few people had money to spare, but my great-grandmother somehow did, and she really wanted to take this trip - but not alone. First she asked Bobbie, who was timid about it, so as second choice, she asked Bobbie’s older sister, my mother, and even though Ginny was married by that time, she told me it took her about 5 seconds to say “yes.” They had a glorious time. Apparently my dad was a good sport about the whole thing.

I have nothing to show what ship they took from New York to England, nor the dates. However, they traveled on from England to Shanghai on the Yasukuni Maru, and then from Shanghai to Los Angeles on the Tatsuta Maru. After a short visit in the L.A. area, they boarded the S.S. California (of the Panama Pacific Line) on July 23, 1934 and sailed through the Panama Canal to New York City, landing on August 6th. According to a chart in the Passenger List for that voyage, the one-way fare from L.A. to NYC in First Class was $185.00.

Mother said that on each of these three ships, her grandmother would claim one day it was Ginny’s birthday, so my mother was thrown three birthday parties on the trip!

496 From Joan Campbell:
Roy and Sara could be married only civilly in 1929, since Roy was divorced and the Catholic church would consider him still to be married to Peggy (Sara was Catholic). In Roy's diary there is a note of a day in 1948 mentioning a visit from a Catholic priest. This would have been after the death of Peggy, his first wife, clearing the way for Roy and Sara to be married in the Catholic church.
