Perilous Red Cross Voyage From Piraeus to Saloniki
An American Red Cross mission surveying Balkan refugees endured a stormy sea voyage aboard the Peloponnesus from Piraeus to Saloniki. A northeast gale drenched decks, passengers fought seasickness, and the ship barely turned to safety at Sciathos. Epidemic influenza on the island blocked landing, leaving the group to subsist on bread and cabbage during the four days to Saloniki. The mission leaders were Col Homer Valks, Capt Edwin Merrill, Capt Lawrence Pumpelly, Capt James Mills, and Lieut Louis Hine.
