For breakfast I have coaffee one scrambled egg buter and bread after that I went out on deck and it was verry breese outside.

Than the bell ring for dinner, now I wont explain anymore what we have, because is about the thing as the previous week, maybe now and than a little change. Today is really cold outside, real strong cold winds, everybody seems to love to stay inside. After super again canasta game, and after a lttle later I started to feel sick in the stomach and I had headache so I wen and took two aspiring tablets and than I took a tablet for my stomach, and than in about 5 oclock in the morning (13/6) I get up to make a trip to the washroom and I.....after that I still feel sick, and didn't get no breakfast, for dinner I had a little soup. The ocean today is rough but fortunate the boat dont rock much, only we have a few persons sick with a cold, otherwise everything is under control. Everybody is asking when do we get to Casablanca, just now I heard that we will arrive today at about 5 oclock in the afternoon. The water is still rough Last night I slept wonderfull and am feeling fine. Today (14/6/56) I have my breakfast, but nothing much, only a cup of coffee. Well I am happy because at least we will reach Casablanca today as they said, then wi will spend 2 if not 3 days there and after that wi will continue for Africa Tangiers. Well at last we reach Casablanca, everybody was happy, when we saw land and at last the beutifull city Casablanca. We arrive at 6. oclock. Then we got anchored outside and the next morning we pull into a port. One really has to be right here and see for himself, how much uncivilized people are still around. No matter, how much somebody would tell you and tried to describe it still wouldnt be enough, butt you have to see for yourself. After breakfast first thing in the morning I wanted to go to the ship "Crna Gora" which was docked in next pier from our ship I said to my friends I like to go and find out, maybe my daughter mother in law is on there, and of course everybody was willing to go along. Nobody can go out by himself, because of those natives. When we got to Crna Gora we meet lots of friends, but there was no Mrs. Pajkurich. After our return to our ship, we have our dinner, and than we got togheter and said we will go into City of Casablanca sideseeing and get some postal cards to send to our families and friends. We walked quite a distance from the "Hrvatska" and oh boy what can you all see is really unbelievable, the natives are all around right on bare floor and sleeping, dirty unclean oh my you wonder and think to yourself, how lucky you are that you aint one of them. When we reach the gates, there where African French soldiers and we told they are going to stop us for passport, but they didnt we continue on and we could see from far a U.S.S. Club for American soldiers and seamens. Wee walked in and ask if somebody tralked English Americano, there was a sales girl selling postal cards and all kinds souvenirs. So we bought some cards and stamps, than we sat down to wright them and mail them. This was a lovely place, they have a jutebox and they where playiong the yellow rose from texas and right you get homesick. From there we continue are walk in to the city, but the first day we didnt see much and we walked back to Hrvatska, we got back in time for super. After super I hear somebody calling Teta Tonicka and there was Mr. & Mrs. Pogacar and said to me we just have a new friend a Slovenec from Broklyn his name was Mr. Obresa and he is second mate on a American ship. And than we really where singing Slovenian songs. After he left our ship I went to sleep, and sleep where good, butt I was a little afraid of those natives because they told, that they would steal the watch of your waist, while they where working on the ship, they told us to keep are doors and windows locked.

Saturday 6/16/56

     Saturday morning I wanted to go and see some more of the city, because I was told, how beutiful it is. Many of them said that they wanted to go, butt nobody seems to be ready and then and gentleman from California come to me and ask me if I wanted to go to the city, and I said of course I would love to go if I have company. So he said okey than lets go and I bet we walked for about 3 1/2 hours, and wee really did see some beutifull city, if I didnt see with my own eyes I would never belived. I will tell you all about when I see you on my return home. After we return from the city it was time for dinner, after dinner we went again visiting on another Yugoslav ship, S. S. Pula, which docked right next to us in meanwhile when wee went to the city. On this ship I again meet a Slovenian from near by Mribor. When wee started to talked he asked me where I am coming from U.S.A. and when I told him from Philadelphia PA He asked if I live somewhere near by Pichmond and when I told him, yes, he asked me if I know a Slovenian by the name Frank Rak, and from than on we really have plenty to talk about. He asked if I see F. Rak to tell him, that he meett mee, his name was Ivan I forgot the last name. The trip is really verry ineresting. When I parted with my Spoanish lady friend from casablanca we kissed and say goodby and tears come to both of us. I believe if she stayed on for the rest of the trip I would learn spanish.

Sunday 17/6/56 (6/17/56)

     Today is Sunday morning, the crew worked all night loading in order to finish the cargo and we pulled out from casablanca at 6 A.M. Now we are due in Tangiers tonight at 6.P.M. The trip so far is really like a miracle it is unbeliveble, that a ship like this go so smooth I dont think there is one person sea sick yet. Well we are continueing are trip to Tangiers Africa, right outside of Casablanca we have verry heavy fog they have to blow the whistle all the while and they have to travel by radar, thank god this didnt last to long I say for about 1 1/2 hour and after that we have verry beutifull wheather everybody was outside on the deck and then in about 1 oclock wee started to see shore again far away and wee where getting closer and closer to the shore than I would say where traveling for about 3 hours right along the shore, oh what beutifull sights, and wee see so many fish jumping in the ocean following the shipp and here wee really did see lots of fisherman. Well wee arive to Tangiers 6. oclock and when we where getting close there was allready another cargo ship from Yugoslavia the name was Dinara and than come Mrs. Pezel to me and asked me if I know Captain Mate Kovaievic. I said yes, than she told me he was on Dinara. So we meet again, he is a reall nice person. When we got to Tangiers we have to wait for about 1/2 hour before we could go to the pier, Dinara was suposed to be first, but they gave us the chance, because we have pasengers. Before we docked the natives got on board the ship selling souveniers, but seems to me that those people here in Tangiers are much more civilised than they where in Casablanca.

Monday, 18/6/56 (6/18/56)

     This morning I get up before 5 oclock than I took shower and got myself all ready to go after the breakfast and than in to the city of Tangiers to explore the civilisation off Tangiers. We went in a group off 7 and we got ourself a guid, to show us the places of interest. The guid happens to be a seventeen year old Arabian boy which in 1951 stowaway with Yugoslav ship to Rijeka, and he remained there for 5-6 months and in that time he learned how to speak English. He asked if we wish to go up to the castle where Sultan lives or was he living with his 30 wifes. So we started to walk up to that castle, but soon after that we where sorry, because of what we saw on our way up it really was something. Why? [underlined twice in red pencil, red questionmark] as you know is pretty strong, butt I almost havew to give up, because off what you see there is something, that I will never be able to describe, butt you really have to be there and see it for yourself. But as we say in America I dont want to be a chicken so we continue even if we have one much older lady with us than myself, we have to keep waiting for her because it was verry steep and such a small and narrow alleys and so many natives, that it was hard to pass by, butt with some efforts and a little courage we finally reach the castle, butt all the while I have to keep my nose, because the smell from the natives was such I belive they dont know what a toilet is. When we reach the castle there we got another guid which took us all over the castle and was explaining to us all about where Sultan and his wives where taking bath and where Napoleon was and we saw a 419 year old grave from an infant. The Castle by itself is 439 years old and all the work in there was made by the slaves, he explain to us all the history about Sultan his marriages and his wives trouseu [underlined once in red pencil], and I must say I wasnt sorry I made that journey up there. While we where walking up we here in one place some children chirpen and we ask what they where doing there siting on the floor in a dark room without light with a piece of paper in hand and he told us, that this kindergarden. Continuing back home or to the ship which is my home now until I reach Rijeka, everything made bad impression on me. When I got back to the ship I was telling them what I saw and they wouldnt belive me, because they where in the latest modern city, where all or most of the rich lives, so it was hard to belive or to explain. (So the next day I made mine mind up and said I have to go and see the new city of Tangier.)

Tuesday 19/6/56 (6/19/56)

     This morning I went in company off to elder gentlemen and we went to the new part of Tangiers. Well after that I got much better impression. Here are only the little better standing people and off course most off the England, U.S.A. and French Capitol, the city is beutiful and plenty of everything, on the marked one could find anything he want. After our return back to the ship we started preparing to leave Tangier Africa. I saw them putting on the ship huge verry big fish must more 300-500 lb big this was for Gibraldor. We left Tanger-Africa 6 P.M. and we arrive to Gibraltar at 9 P.M. Than we left the anchor down and waited for Pilto and Dr. After their arrival we where told that we have to wait until next morning to unload. I went to bed about 11 P.M. and slept verry good.

Wednesday 20/6/56 (6/20/56)

     This morning I get up at 5 oclock wich I told, this was the right time, butt later I fund out it was 1 hour latter, and that we have European time. I belive we will leave Gibraltor around 12 A.M. or 1 A.M. Yesterday we have verry high winds, butt didnt do any harm to us so far all the sailing was verry verry smooth. 20/6/56
     As I said we left Gibraltor excatly at 1. P.M. and while we where going for about 20 hours until next morning about 9 oclock I noticed seating on the deck a suden change in our course, before we where going striaght line and then I noticed that sun was dissapearing from our deck. Than I went on the other side off the deck and I noticed a big curve on the ocean. In about one hour one off the officers came around and told all the people who have cameras, please not to use them, because we are going to a nearest Spanish Port and than he told us that we have a verry sick passenger on the ship and he has to be taken to hospital it was a woman which came abord the ship in Tanger with her husband, while anyway her heart trouble. When we arrive to that Spanish port they say it was okey but after we arrived, they didn't want to except the passenger, because they said they don't have no business or trade with Yugoslavia. In about 1 hour they have about 50 millitarry persons on the dock and they where runing back and forth and finally in about 2 ½ hour they took the sick woman off the ship and putt her in ambulance and took her husband with her with the promise that he will not talk to anybody, and than we where on our course again butt with this we lost about 8 hours time. We where supposed to arrive in Genova on Friday evening the 22nd off June and now they said we get there sometime Saturday morning around 1.A.M. Thank God so far everything okey. Port Allecante Spain

Friday 22/6/56

     Today we have a little bad weather and the ship is going up and down like a cradle, everybody was complaining with stomach and headache and you could see very few people at the breakfast table, this was the first time that they have to keep the door closed on one side, every now and than the waves would slam against the ship with terified force. But thank god this didn't harm me in any way. I had been around and having fun with everybody. Well anyway this didn't less to long, only for about 6 hours and than we have again smooth sailing. At about 7 oclock this evening we heard for the first time Yugoslav radio program from Ljubljana and this realy lift everybody spirits, you could see the smiling faces again. I stayed up until 11.30 than I went to my cabin wishing to see next morning the Italia city off Genoa.

Saturday 23/6/56 (6/23/56)

     This morning get up reall early because I was afraid that mised to be the first one to see the shore off Italia, sure enough I was the first up on deck and waching verry closelly when we arrive to genoa was about 6 oclock in the morning and word got at verry quickly that we where in Genova, butt than again I lost two off my good friend Mr. & Mrs. Pogacar, they left the ship in genoa and than they hired a car from tripple A.A.A. and went for two weeks side seein in Italia and than they will go to Yugoslavia for 3 weeks and after that leaving from Paris with airoplane for U.S.A> they will be home sometime around 15th off august, they promise to call Gloria when they get home. Maybe you could get in touch with them and they will explain you all about. Well when we said godby to them and wished them bon voyage on their trip trough Italia, by that time all the formalites where trough and then we where told that we could leave the ship everybody received a special pass and than we left for our journey trough the city of Genoa we walked and walked until I got so tired that I couldn't stand any more up. Than we got back to the Hrvatska. In the evening we played canasta and talk about what we see in the city and than to bed again until next morning.

Sunday 24/6/56 (6/24/56)

     We get up and out again. We where told, that would be a sin not to go and see a cemetary here in Genova, I am realy not sorry that I went and see that, this was really something to see. Here we met all kinds off people, their where even 20 Rusian student there, here also we met lots off Yugoslav people I mean the one that run away from home. I am verry sorry I missed to get a souvenir, because one would be unable to explain what he or her saw there it is unbelivable.

Monday 25/6/56 (6/25/56)

     Monday morning I get up real early as usely, once I am up I can stay any more in bed so I get up about 5:30 get washed and dressed and than I took my paper and pen and went to the salon sit downand start to write my diary.Oh yes, Sunday night we had a visitor, a Slovene barber wich has his barber shop her in Genova, while we where walking by his busines and he heard us talking he come out and ask us if we where from Slovenia and two of the felows went to his place and got haircut in his place and they invite him to come on Hrvatska and he did than I ask him if he know for a good beuty salon and he told me, that he has a friend who speak verry good Croation, so on Monday morning we went there and tree off us got a verry good hair wash and set for one buck. And while we where walking back to the ship we met 3 guys from Hrvatska and they took us to a fine pastry store and they bought all kinds of good pastry wich we took back to the ship and most off us have a verry good time eating them. And after that another canasta game, imagine I am champion off canasta on the Hrvatska. Well it is a verry long trip, butt certainly it is also verry interesting. Well we left Genova last night or better said Tuesday morning 12.15 AM.

Tuesday 26/6/56 (6/26/56)

     Now we are going on to Italia I was told we will arrive there at about 7.30 or 8 oclock A.M. They said we will spend there a few hours, off course it depends if we get the parking space for our ship, as we said in America. And the from there we will go to napoli Italia, and there we probably spend another day ot two. Last night I have been taking to officer Boris Glovan and he told me I really should go ogg in Napolio, because there is a lot to see, for instance the old city off Pompei and that I should go to the wonderfull Isle off Capri, if we will have enough time to leave. Well we arrive in Livorno about 7.30 A.M. and right after that come Italian pilot to take the shipp in to the port. As soon we got there, they pull down the plank and they told us that we can go out right after we got out visas stamped. Right after breakfast everybody start together and see what we are going to do. A young student come over to me and ask me if I could help him to organise about 10 person, so we could go and see the leaning tower off Pisa. He said he would go to the City and fined out if we could get a bus. Well he left and was back in about half an hour and told me that we are going in afternoon and the bus will cost only 240 lira wich is about 42 cents in American money. Then we got organised for the trip to Pisa in the afternoon this is about 25 miles from Livorno. Now we said we have enough time to go and see city off Livorno, this really is a beutifull and clean city, butt one could surely see, what damage was done in last war, this really must be something. I bought myself a pair off sandals and 2 yards off plastic table cover material it cost me only 1 dollar. We walked and walked untill we got so tired, that I was verry happy when I got back to the shipp for our dinner. After dinner we left right away to go see Pisa. Mr. Perkovich say hello to everybody. This really was a wonderfull trip out to Pisa and a wonderfull city and that leaning tower is very interested and oh boy what a catedrall, when I return we will have plenty to talk about. We left Livorno 7>30 P.M. and they said we will arrive to Napoli Italia 6/27 around 12 P.M. Just now we where passing Isle off Stromboli. The trip so far is like a big dream it is wonderfull. Everybody is getting more and more exciting.

Wednesday 6/27/56

     The 3rd mate Boris Glovan told me we will be there at about 12 oclock P.M. and sure enough we arrive just 12 P.M. I spend some time up on the bridge with Boris as he invited me to come up, his watch is in the morning 8-12 and he told that I can have a beutifull vie all around from up there, he is a real nice fellow. He also is verry anxious to be home, his and his son birthday is on Friday. We are just arriving and the pilot is coming on board the ship. Also the doctor and the finance people are waiting to come and see that everything is in order. Right now everybody is rushing around and asking one and other, who want to go to see City off Pompei, this is an old Roman city about 2 thousand years old which was burn down or all covered with lava by a Pompei vesuv [Vesuvius]. To my sorrow I missed out on that trip, butt I took a walk in to the city to look around I walked and walked untill I got so tired, that I ask my company to return back to shipp. Now we are trying to organize a trip for tomorrow morning to go to Pompei it is about 25 miles out from Napoli. The trip will cost about $1.50 or $2.00. The city here one could see sufer plenty during last war, butt to my surprise it seems to me they more business than in America. And the people in the city all seems to be well fed and also dressed. The trafic in the city is just as bad as it is in the states, the only difference, here is so much motor cikle, that one really must be very carefull to pass or cross the street, they fly by you like lightning.

Thursday 6/28/56

     This morning I get up 6 oclock, get washed and dressed, and than I went to the sallon. Than Lucija call me down to the dining room and she gave me coffee and she told me that I am the best passenger on this ship. After breakfast we left to go to Pompei. There is really plenty to see.This is about 2000 years old city covered by lava. I will talk more about when I return to the states.

Friday 6/29/56

     We left Napoli about 6 oclock last night and this morning at 5 oclock I take a look through the window and [unintelligible] and a nice city I quick get out to start to investgate where we are and they told me that we are just passing [Messina?] [one word underlined in red pencil with a small red ? on top] Italia and Calebria around the boot off Italia. Last night at about 8 oclock I send a Radiogram to Aunt Mary.

8 April 1930Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAntonia Pecuh and Anton Mahnich appeared on the census of 8 April 1930 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; I can't be sure that this Frank RAK is Frank MRAK. Some of the evidence fits, especially that he is listed as immigrating in 1922, the fact that he is married with no wife present in the household and first married at age 20. His age is hard to discern on the copy.18

    Unrecorded original Salem County deeds - transcribed by Val Caulfield 2 Jan 2004

    Thomas and Richard Penn, Esquires by their attorneys Richard Peters and Lynford Lardner, Gentleman of the city of Philadelphia to Thomas Harris of Fairfield Township in the County of Cumberland, Province of New Jersey, yeoman.

    Deed of Indenture 13 May 1758 for all residual lands the Penns held right to in Pennsneck, NJ.

    Recital establishes right of their father, William Penn, Proprietor and Governor of Pennsylvania, who's will included a tract of Land commonly called Penns-neck, situate in the County of Salem, Province of New Jersey and lies included in the following boundaries.Viz: Bounding westerly on the Delaware River, Northerly on Oldmans Creek and southerly and easterly on Salem Creek and a line that runs from said Salem Creek to Oldmans creek known by the name of Pilesgrove line, which may by several conveyances more at large appear.

    Goes on to say that Wm. Penn by his attorneys, disposed of a considerable part of the said tract to sundry persons, reserving to himself and his heirs forever, certain Annual Rents called Quit rents.

    Also a part within Pennsneck granted by deed from one John Berry being about 1074 acres - which combined with the other above described parcel, is estimated to contain 7,012 acres.

    And how William Penn being possessed of the said lands and Quit Rents, by his last Will and Testament, duly signed and published about the beginning of March 1712, did direct that the residuary of his Estate ( which these lands are included) should be conveyed to his children by his wife Hannah, as she should think fit. And so his sons, John, Thomas and Richard Penn by virtue of the will of their father and by some other conveyances became seized of the said land, part of which are hereafter granted.

    And the said John Penn by his last Will and Testament, bearing date the 24th day of October 1746, bequeathed to his brother Richard Penn, all his right, title and inheritance in NJ which he claimed by right of his father, William Penn.

    And Thomas and Richard Penn, so thereby being seized did appoint the said Richard Peters and Lynford Lardner by an Instrument in Writing dated the 4th day of March 1746/7, to sell and dispose of all their lands in NJ , which Power of Attorney is recorded in the Secretary's Office in Burlington in Book H, p. 76.

    Now this indenture witnesses that Thomas and Richard Penn by their attorneys Richard Peters and Lynford Lardner for consideration of the sum of L779 ( and 15 shillings interlined) current lawful money of Pennsylvania, do grant to Thomas Harris.... lands remaining, estimated to contain about 5,300 acres with 60 -? allowance for roads within Pennsneck, with overplus and Quitrents, profits etc.

    Signed and sealed by Thomas Penn, Richard Penn, Richard Peters and Lynford Lardner.
