with
her
two
children.

Frances,
no

landed
in
Halifax,

when
two
catastrophes
struck.
First
her
husband
did
not
show
up
to
meet
her,
and
then
her
eight
-month-old
son,
David,
died
in
Halifax
hospital.
Mrs.
Martin
stated
that
her
husband
had
threatened
to
stowaway
to
England
to
see
David,
whom
he
has
never
seen,
and
it
is
believed
that
the
missing
father
must
have
done
just
that.
The

Martin
from
