19 October 1732 - Another picture of Suffering and Hardship.
"Sunday last arrived here Captain Tymperton, in 17 weeks fr
om Rotterdam, with 220 Palatines -- 44 died in their passag
e. About three weeks ago, the passengers dissatisfied wit
h the length of the voyage, were so imprudent as to mak
e a mutiny, and being the stronger party, have ever since h
ad the government of the vessel, giving orders from among t
hemselves to the captain and sailors, who were threatened w
ith death in case of disobedience. Thus, having sight of la
nd, they carried the vessel twice backwards and forwards be
tween our capes to Virginia, looking for a place to go asho
re, they knew not where. At length they compelled the sailo
rs to cast anchor near Cape May, and eight of them took th
e boat by force and went ashore; from whence they have bee
n five days coming up by land to this place. The eight me
n were committed to prison."*
"Swiss & German Pioneers by Eshleman p-245."
This accounts for the tradition that Hendrich came with hi
s wife and sons to America. They may have actually starte
d together. Ordinarily 10 to 12 weeks were quite sufficien
t to make the passage. But these people saw no land after 1
6 weeks. The rest of the family were on the "Johnson" of Ho
lland-Amerika Linie from Rotterdam which landed in Philadel
phia on 9 September 1732.
This ship was the pink "John and William" which reached Phi
ladelphia on 17 October 1732, under Captain Tymperton fro
m Rotterdam, according to vol. 17 second series of Pennsylv
ania Archives, page 72. A "pink" is a narrow sterned vessel
. There were 98 women and children and about 71 men on th
e passenger list according to the account found in Swis
s & German Pioneer by Eshleman p-245.
Strassberger & Hinke's "Pennsylvania German Pioneers" - Vol
.1 p. 84-85 reported:
Oct. 17, 1732. Palatines imported in the ship Pink John an
d William, of Sunderland, Constable Tymperton, Master fro
