Saturday 5.30 p.m. S.S. Cedric
Dear Father, I had a nice
crossing to Liverpool. T. Orr came on board for me on Friday morning
& we went out to Aintree & saw the G. National. It was some sight,
just fancy 37 horses lined up at the start, of course only 5 or 7
finished. I never saw such spills at any races before. I saw the
King on his arrival at the Royal Box, but I missed the Prince.
Before the start we went over the course, but for the showers of
rain I enjoyed it very much. I slept on board the Cedric on Friday
night, in the Huskinson Dock. During the night then the Cedric moved
down the river. On Saturday morning, got breakfast on board, & then
had to go ashore by tender. You see only about 60 passengers slept
on board on Friday night. The Cedric then at 2.30 p.m. Sat. came to
the landing stage in Liverpool & then the passengers got on board
after examination of tickets. So I spent my time in the Museum in
Liverpool this morning, as I could not get on board until after 2.30
p.m., & it has rained all day. At 3.30 we left Liverpool, I was out
there on deck & after 2 hours sailing I counted in five minutes on
one side of us 20 other boats passing & the small ones were diving
about abit. There is a good sea on just now, but this boat is fairly
steady. Its now 8 oclock & the dinner is over, its a terrible
dinner, Soup, fish & some sort of meat rolled pie, I forget the
name, mutton, then potatoe, that's a change from a plate of potatoes
at home, vegetable, marmalade puddings & custard, ice cream &
wafers; then tea or coffee. The food is splendid but it would take
Sam here to clear it all up plenty of everything, you can take the
full course or just as you like. Before I left Robert got the
fountain pen to sign some papers belonging to the car, & I came away
without it. Wish it could be sent to me, the Purser here says I will
not have to pay duty on it as it is for personal use. If posting it
put a note inside saying I left it behind me in case it might be
opened, also empty ink out of it. This is a lovely ship, 500 of a
crew, I saw them lined this morning on deck with the life belts on
for inspection before sailing. If Robert thinks of sending me the
pen I'll give you Hamilton's address inside this letter but I have
to get it out of my case. How did they get on with the car? I hope
everything went well. Hope by this time your pains in the legs are
gone. If writing send to Ernie's address, I am sure Robert or Maggie
will be letting me know the latest. I expect the black cow is
getting like calving or perhaps has by now. I enclose a P.C. of the
Cedric, isn't she a big ship & such fine accomodation. I am enjoying
my trip so far only I wish the rain would stop, so I now close
hoping everything is going on alright at home. Yours Herbert - c/o
Mr. E. Hamilton, 851 Avenue C. Bayonne, N.J., U.S.A.
Sunday (3rd April 1927) S.S. Cedric
Dear Maggie, It is now
8.30 p.m. & we have just left Halifax. It seems a long time since I
left home & I expect it will be late on Tuesday before I reach New
York perhaps Wednesday, then on Thursday I will be away a fortnight.
After we left Queenstown the weather got very rough & the boat
dipped a lot. Nearly everyone was sick, myself included. I could eat
very little for two days especially nothing greasy but I am now
normal once again. The passage now is very enjoyable. We have
breakfast at 8 a.m., soup & biscuit 11, (dinner or lunch) 12.30, cup
of tea at 4 p.m. late dinner & tea after at 6, then sandwiches at 10
p.m., but when I was sick I missed a lot of these. I have two
Irishmen in the cabin with me from the South, the both came on board
at Queenstown. One is a very nice chap going to Boston on a holiday.
The other is a big man, the size of Totten, about 70 years old
called Dennis Doran, who was home for a holiday from New York, & to
look at him you would think he was never away from home in his life.
He is a week on board today & got shaved today for the first since
he came on board, so he looked a bit rough seeing all the rest shave
every day. He will not go to the dining room for his meals, has them
in the cabin & his breakfast in bed. But he got up this morning at 6
for Mass. All the rest of the people are very nice. Most of the
tourist on board are people who have been home for a holiday from
Canada or the States. They all say the old country is no good. A lot
of them I have been talking are stone setters, or I think at home
masons. One Plaster was telling me today he has £3 per day of 8 hrs.
or £15 a week & no work on Saturdays, this is around New York. He is
dressed like a business man & has his wife with him. The masons or
bricklayers are dressed very nicely two. One day like Mrs. Skimin in
build came to New York some years ago & started charing @ 16/- a day
she told me. She made well of it, & has just been home for a holiday
with her family.
Tuesday 5th April 1927
Have just arrived New
York safe. Wednesday
Owing to the vibration of the ship I had to finish the first part of
this letter on Sunday with a pencil. We arrived at Halifax Sunday
morning & were allowed ashore for 2 hrs. until the cargo was got off
but as I said before it was 8.30 p.m. before we left. It seems a
dirty city & seeing it was Sunday every place was closed, but I had
my tea in a cafe & it seemed alright. The houses are nearly all
wood, & I saw a fire that had started on Saturday & was still
smouldering. The weather was nice but very cold, snow was lying in
the streets. The hills around looked a picture with the pine trees &
the snow. We arrived outside of Boston just before 5 p.m. Monday &
after lying 1 hr. in quarrantine & going before an American doctor,
we went into the harbour & the Boston passengers got off. I saw one
lady passenger being taken off on a stretcher, seems something set
in after her sea sickness, she was 1st class passenger. I was told
in the 3rd class a child of 15 months died & was buried in the
night. Passengers who have crossed several times before say this
trip has been a very unpleasant one, as we had a head sea most of
the trip & the ship dipped & rolled a big lot, although the wind was
not too strong. We expect to get to New York tonight but I don't
know what time, but I expect it will be late. There is a talk on
board that the American citizens will get ashore tonight, but that
the rest of us will be kept until the morning. Most of the
passengers for off at Halifax to go away through Canada, some at
Boston, & so the rest going to New York are pretty small number.
When we were all aboard we had a concert one night, then dancing
some nights & whist drives, but now all is quiet , & everyone is
looking forward to landing. Seems this trip has taken longer than
usual owing to calling at Halifax & Boston. Hope all is well at
home, Herbert
