g. Day Nightmare Voyage Made by British Brides;
 Were They Sick! Yes, How!

NEW YORK, Feb. 4. - storm tossed and tired, but radiant with anticipation, the first group of British brides" English women who married American soldiers dur ing the war-reached New York to- day on the Army transport Argen- tina, after a nine-day nightmare voyage across the North Atlantic
 A total of 451 women and ITS children were aboard the ship which docked shortly before am.
 The wives ranged in age from Mrs. Ben F. Butler, Is, ts Mrs. Harold N. Cooper, A.
 With her 13-months-old daugh- ter, Mrs. Butler is enroute to Roan- oke Rapids. N. c. Mrs. Cooper and her daughter, IT. by a previous marriage, and son, IS months by the present one, is rejoining her husband in Manhattan Beach, Calf.
 Thirty of the women are expect ant mothers
 Three literally risked their lives to make the voyage. They were in advanced stages of pregnancy, and when the Argentina encountered the first of several record d-breaking storms, they were confined to the ships hospital under contant ob- servation by Army doctors and nurses.
 First Brides Ship"
 The brides came from England Ireland, Scotland. Wales and Malta They were destined for homes in A different states.
 It was the first brides ship" in more than 200 years to bring Bri- tish girls to American husbands. Not since the days when sailing ships brought wives to the Ameri- can colonists on the shores of New England has there been such a voyage.
 It was strange, pathetic and even terrible voyage.
 As the Argentina slipped past the docks in Southampton, the wo- men, lined on the decks, began singing "There1l Always Be An England" Tears streamed down their cheeks.
 That was Saturday Jan. 26
 Get Seasick
 On Sunday morning, as the ship passed lands end and headed northward into the open Atlantic, she began to roll in long ground swell. Before noon. four-fifths of the women were violently seasick.
 They collapsed on the decks, fell in the passageways, and sat on the staircases, with faces averted. limp and miserable.
 Doctors, nurses, WACs. Red Cross personnel and the ships crew worked frantically to get them to their cabins. Children were aban- doned in the cabins, or left alone, screaming, by mothers who were too weak and sick to reach them. A little boy, climbing on the deck rail- almost fell overheard before the mortified eyes of his mother who struggled, half-crawling. across the pitching deck toward him
 Emergency Inspection
 Crewmen worked throughout the afternoon, swabbing the decks and corridors. By nightfall, the ship was so dirty that Army doctors, Capt L. E. Reynolds, of Denver, Colo, and Capt. Peter Bisconti. of Sea ford, N Y, were worried about an outbreak of disease. Through It. Col Floyd Lyle, Transport Con- mander, they announced an emer- gency inspection of the entire ship.
 The doctors attributed the high incidence of seasickness to nervous strain, reaction to the emotions of fear, apprehension and high ex- citement that beset women who were leaving their homes to go to
