THE PILGRIM ADVENTURES
By Abbie FarzveH Brozvn

-prisoned most of the time below decks
in the cold, dark, ill-ventilated cabins, be-
cause of the terrible storms and heavings
of the sea.
The ships cook prepared food only for
the officers and crew. As in the Storage
today, victuals were doled out to the nine
teen families every day by the governor,
and the mothers had to prepare it as best
they could. The only time they could
cook was when they could have the sand
hearth"-a freproof box of sand-set up
on deck, with an iron tripod over it, or
y;hen they could hold frying pan over
charcoal fire. Since the voyage was so
stormy, they could not often go on deck at
all. Those shivering, anxious, homesick
and seasick creatures must have eaten
most of their food cold. They had bis
cult sometimes little butter, cheese, sau-
sage, salt herring, potted meats and such
vegetables as cabbage and onions; there
were no potatoes in those days. AS usual
their chief solid food. They cooked vege-
tables in quantity when they could cook at
all and ate them cold on stormy days;
likewise cold mush. There were, how
ever, we like to know, dried fruits, lines,
lemons and picked eggs. There were
also-beans. Could we imagine Massachu-
Iarr
no such thing as the comfort of tea and
coffee. Perhaps there was goats milk for
the children; we do not know but the
Pilgrims had no cows, and the elders drank
beer according to old English tradition.
Water was scarce and very precious.
The voyage was not without excitement,
tsides the storms. One of the passengers
had narrow escape. One day when
high sea was running and most of the pas
sengers were snuggled below decks, John
Rowland, sturdy young man, evidently
of an adventurous disposition, went out
"above the gratings." But suddenly the
MayAower gave a great lurch, and How
land was washed overheard without warn
ing. We can imagine his sensations in the
icy water, with his one hope of safety,
the rickety little boat slipping away from
him through the wa&es. However, John,
being a lusty fellow, made a gallant bid
for life. He grabbed the topsail halyards,
which hung overheard, and which ran out
to full length in his hands as he sank
scme fathoms under water. John kept
hold of the rope like grim death, shouting
manfully all the while, until his comrades
hauled him in, and with page 4, Col. a)
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1922-11-30

l wonder how many of us would have
the grit to embark on a MayAower as our
forefathers did, and face what they faced
on that voyage to Plymouth? I wonder
how many of the newest immigrants
realize what those first New Englanders
dared in helping to found this free country
for them to inherit?
Imagine virtually uncharted ocean !;
terrible storms; little ship that we should
think nowadays unfit for coastwise ex-
cursion, lurching and rolling in the dark
ness off an unknown coast, full of I'M
known terrors! Imagine the sadness Of
exile; the doubt and the danger, the
anxiety of men and women with little
children in their care. Imagine those
twenty-eight children themselves
the baby newly born,- lacking warmth,
proper food, fresh air, cleanliness.
The Pilgrims never asked for bed of
roses. They knew that they were facing
hard life of exile. They did not know
how weak their ship was until it began
to leak and until beam finally threatened
to give way altogether. But they lacked
up the beam and sailed on. They knew
that they were leaving home and friends
forever, exchanging them for a trackless
wilderness with wild beasts and wilder
men for neighbors. They begged no sym
patty or pity. But they did not know that
they would have treachery in their own
shipload before they were halfway across
the sea. They forced the mutinous sailors
to keep at it. But they never dreamed that
their captain himself, with the Innocent
name of Jones, was to betray their trust;
and that they were bound, not for the place
called for by their patent on the Hudson
River, but for the stern and rock-bound
coast of Massachusetts, Bay.
1t is an extraordinary coincidence-if
one believes in mere "coincidence"-th
six years earlier Capt. John Smith ex-
plored the New England coast and charted
on his map by various names taken from
the homeland the places visited; and that
he had written the name of Plymouth on
certain spot on a certain bay, because
he was himself Devon man. 1t was not
even heard, that they were drawn by fate.
Imagine the Pilgrims, then, crowded on
that little ship of one hundred and eighty
tons; one hundred devoted men and
women and children, with a crew of
twenty-five. Imagine those women and
children-one baby was born on the voy-
age and was appropriately named Oceanus

written by Major Russell, chief
of the American Secret Service in the Bor-
deaux sector during the war. The title
was "The Algerian Murderers," and not
only was it most Interestingly presented
but it was authentic and authoritative as
we'll. But I must take issue with the
author regarding the statement that no
American soldiers could enter certain re-
stricted districts of the city and. that they
could not be found in the city proper after
nine o'clock at night.
Major Russell refers to district known
as Spanish Town, with which l am not
familiar-at least under that name-but as
for not being able to visit it, there was no
"can't' in the vocabulary of the Yank.
And as for the nine o'clock limit on passes,
that hour was of no more consequence
than any other as passes were regarded
as convenient but not essential.
Do not understand that 1 am correcting
Major Russell for he does not stand in
need of correction. The secret service
operators of the pass regulations came I'M
der the jurisdiction of the military. There
were Military Police to take charge of any
Hate pedestrians, who were CARRIED N the
O. D. of the service, provided Of course
that they were able to apprehend the
quarry.
l mentioned in the last installment that
a delegation had been selected to do the
honors for fellow 0mahan, and that we,
were determined, to visit the city if it
was necessary to swim the river. That
however, was not necessary as circum-
stances seemed to be in our favor.
Getting out of the camp proved to be the
hardest part of the trip as Algerian SOL
diers were stationed at all entrances while
guards of the same hue patrolled the
limits. Now Yank guard might listen to
reason if you were to present your case
convincingly but when you cannot talk
French, except haltingy and the man be-
hind the gun cannot barfey anglais it is
most difficult. In such a case there are
several courses of action that may be
taken. First, crown the guard with some
good solid object that is tougher than an
African head; second, 60 over the barbed
wire fence; third, make dash past the
barrier and place your trust in your
"dogs;' and last, try to talk the guard into
letting you by.
There were Objectionable phases to each
of these. The son of Ham might not care
7 to be crowned, and in such case, his
long, ngular-shaped bayonet might
make quite an impression if properly pre-
sented; barbed wire fences have way
of trespassing upon ones good nature at
times; those Africans could run a Kansas
jackrabbit to death; the last, absolutely
no chance. So, it behooved us to conceive
a more feasible plan.
While we were seated in council in the
protecting shadows of a mess house,
large truck came numbering down the
roadway headed for the main gate-and
our problem was solved. Into the truck
we piled, unbeknown to the driver and
