Hi list, This is an old seafarers recipe. It was sent to me in 2003 by a Capt. Max Baltzer who sailed on the Nyanza, a yacht built and owned by Capt. Bloomfield Morris of Harbourville. Max was 93 and dying of cancer when I met him. Maxs sister Mable was trying to find a picture of the Nyanza and a picture of Captain Morris, which were both the last wishes of her brother. I was able to find both and email them to Max via his caregiver in Arizona. Max was able to see both pictures just before his crossing the bar and I guess it was quite a tearful scene. To me it was one of those times when all of the reading, copying, borrowing and tracking down old documents as a hobby provided a lot of personal fulfillment. Anyway, Max had sailed with Capt. Bloom in the 130s as a cook. Follow this link if you are interested in seeing both pictures: http://www.rootsweb.com/~canbrnep/bloommorris.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~canbrnep/bloommory.htm This is the Captains favourite at sea meal; the information below is in Maxs own words. Take care, Phil Captain Blooms Cornpone: 1 ¼ cups yellow or white corn meal 1 tsp. Salt 3 ½ cups milk 1 egg (has to be fresh) Bring milk to boil and add salt. Add cornmeal slowly whipping with a wire whip so it doesnt lump. Add egg. Stir furiously so egg will blend. When cooked add crumbled bacon. Sweeten with Maple Syrup. Be particular to take each step just right, as the Captain has to have it just so. Enjoy!

The Register THURSDAY, December 3, 1908 (Written for The Register) From the Atlantic to the Pacific My wife and I, with our little grandson Victor, left Waterville on Wednesday, the 28th of October, bound for the Pacific Coast. Our tickets, which were nearly a yard long, were right through from Waterville Station to the city of San Diego, which is the most southern point in Southern California, right on the border line between California and old Mexico. A long journey indeed, covering very nearly five thousand miles. We left Yarmouth at five o’clock that evening, on board the S.S. Boston; had fine weather and a beautiful sail, arriving in Boston at 9.30 on Thursday morning. We remained in Boston until 12.30 on Friday the 30th, when we boarded our tourist train, leaving Boston by the Boston and Maine Railroad. We were very fortunate in securing sleeping berths right through, with only one change. We had to change cars at Chicago, the only change we were obliged to make in the whole trip across the continent. My advice to those in the East, who are contemplating a trip to the Pacific Coast is to travel as we did, by a tourist train. This affords many advantages over the regular train, and, as a rule, carries a good class of people; not a mixed crowd like the regular trains. There were some fifty passengers in our car, all bound for California, about half for Los Angeles, the rest for Riverside, Pasadena, San Diego, and other points in the state. There were six from Nova Scotia, the rest mostly from the New England States; all apparently first-class people, very pleasant and sociable; so we had the best of company all the way. I would further advise those leaving Nova Scotia to buy their tickets right through from R. U. Parker, Acting General Passenger Agent of the D. A. Railway, at Kentville. They will find him very obliging, ready and willing to give all information needed respecting the best and cheapest route, and full direction as to how to proceed on the whole journey. He will also secure state rooms in steamer and sleeping berths in trains ahead, if requested to do so. This is much the better way, and saves any after trouble. Now, in regard to our journey; I will not attempt to give anything more than a synopsis of what we saw, and the places that we passed through by daylight, as the places we passed in the nights, are for the most part, a blank. In Massachusetts, we passed through Ayer, Fitchburg, Gardner, Greenfield, North Adams, etc., over the Berkshire Mountains and along side the Connecticut River, and under the Hoosac Mountain, in a tunnel, which I was informed was five miles long. After entering New York State, we passed Rotterdam, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo. After leaving Buffalo we ran into Ontario, along the north side of Lake Erie, about 100 miles, a beautiful farming district, perfectly smooth and level, no stones to be seen, surpassing the Niagara Valley in some respects; hundreds of acres of corn, pumpkins, vegetables, and other green stuff, still in the fields; large herds of cattle, horses, sheep, and hogs. At the City of Windsor, our train was divided into sections, and transferred on a large ferry boat over the Detroit River, about one and a half miles. Detroit is a large flourishing city. We travelled through Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska, all five states noted for the growing of corn, hogs, cattle, and sheep, especially corn. There was apparently no end to the corn fields, and great heaps of husked corn still lay in the fields. Iowa seemed to lead, and excel all the other states in the size of the corn fields, and the number of hogs. The country is level with black, deep, fertile soil, very valuable farming land. Council Bluffs was the last station at which we stopped in Iowa. We arrived at Chicago on Saturday, at 5 p.m. and left at 10 p.m. by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway. We ran a long distance in Illinois, still passing through corn fields. We passed over the Missouri River, at 12.30 Sunday, Nov. 1st. We then passed through the cities of Omaha and Columbus, in Nebraska; then along the great Platte River for miles. We went forward from Omaha to Ogden, by the Union Pacific Railway. Leaving Columbus we passed through one corner of Colorado, here passing Julesburg. We next came to the city of Cheyenne, in Wyoming. I set my watch back one hour at Boston, another at Detroit, and another hour here. We have entered the Rocky Mountains, in Wyoming; lots of snow, ice, and snow drifts. We passed over the highest peak, at Sherman Hill, at 5 o’clock on Monday morning; elevation 7921 feet. At 2 p.m. still in the rockies; the elevation now at Granger Station, 6279 feet. After running ten or twelve hours, there is still snow and ice along the track, and in the mountains, as far as we can see. We ran through several tunnels and arrived at Ogden at 6.55 p.m. on Monday. From Ogden to Los Angeles we travelled by the new short line, the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railway, passing through Salt Lake City, in Utah. Tuesday morning at 7 a.m. we were passing through the Rainbow Canyon, in Nevada, a strange but beautiful sight. We had been travelling through the Nevada mountains, and under them, through tunnels, the elevation in some places nearly as high as the Rockies. We then ran for a long distance through a sandy desert – a dreary wilderness – white sand as far as we could see. This desert is noted for its sand storms. After leaving this desert, we ran for a long distance through a deep ravine, with mountains on either side. We entered the state of California early on Tuesday afternoon. We had run right on time all the way. We were due at Los Angeles at 8 o’clock on Tuesday evening, according to the schedule time; we pulled into the depot, at three minutes past eight. To travel nearly five thousand miles, and only be three minutes behind time, seems very remarkable. Our friends and loved ones were at the depot to meet us. Needless to say, it was a joyful meeting. I have set my watch back another hour, being now four hours behind the Nova Scotia time. In conclusion, I wish to state that my many friends in and around Waterville (members of the church and Sunday school) presented me with a beautiful leather dress-suit-case and a fine umbrella, on the eve of our departure, accompanied by many good wishes, which I prize very highly. As I did not have time before leaving to acknowledge these gifts, I take the opportunity, at this late date, to thank each and every one who so thoughtfully and generously contributed towards the above-named useful articles. This is a wonderful country. California has been very properly called the Land of Sunshine. I have been hearing and reading about it for many years, but now, seeing for myself, I have concluded that the half had not been told; but, as my letter is already too long, I will have to refrain from writing anything more about California, at this time, but will endeavor to do so later on.

Hi All - the Magazine Explosion took place in July of 1945. The Magazine location was on the Dartmouth side of the harbour on what we used to call Magazine Hill. The new highway passes by there now. Judy

My uncle was employed there for nearly all of his working life, including the time of the 1947 explosion. You get to it by way of the Bedford to Dartmouth road. >From what I understand, it was at one time on the Halifax side of the harbour, somewhere between the two bridges.

Pretty sure it was well before what is now jetty 5 in HMC Dockyard, which is quite close (almost under?) to the Angus L. bridge. I might not be remembering rightly, but am sure someone will correct me if so. Toni
The magazine at that time (I am assuming 2X GG grandfather puts him back in the 1870s-1880s ?) would have been located on the Halifax side of the Harbour, close to where the Naval shipyard is now. This site was for some time one of two obstacles to the extension of the railway into what became the Deepwater terminal(Pier 2) of the Intercolonial Railway. The Ordnance Department (which handled the distribution of powder for artillery, shells, cannonballs, bullets etc.) felt sparks from the smokestacks of the the trains could start fires in the surrounding buildings. Although the ordnance job involved military supplies, it was handled by the Chief of the Commissary, and the employees were more often civilians, not soldiers. A compromise was negotiated with the department, getting the land at what is now the Bedford Magazine for the military stores, but in order to get the agreement, several chief clerks in Halifax and at Whitehall in London had to be consulted. The Deepwater Terminal became the wharf at which the Olympic, sister ship to RMS Titanic, loaded troops bound to and from Europe in the First World War.

Hi Sandi: Depends on the year. Way back when, it meant a powder magazine, i.e., where gunpowder was stored. Later, a magazine was where other types of ammunition/explosives were (and still are) stored as well, e.g., artillery shells, bullets, mines, missile warheads, TNT. Ordnance is a military term for weapons/ammunition (although, in the US Army, the Ordnance people repair things like trucks and tracked vehicles as well). :-) -----Bob H----- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandi Bellefeuille" <rjsbell@rogers.com> To: <nova-scotia@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 3:42 PM Subject: [NS-L] Magazine Ordnance Dept. > Hi folks: > > I was just doing a search through McAlpine's Halifax City Directory and > my 2x gr. g'father's occupation was listed as: Foreman, Magazine Ordnance > Dept (or, sometimes Yard).

Hello, I'm hoping someone out there is researching the name COOMBES. In particular, I have a James COOMS who married Rebecca BERRY 1 Jul 1848 in Windsor, Hants County, NS. They then settled in the St. Croix area. Rebecca was 49 and had 2 childrenwhen they married, so I presume James would have been the same or older, putting him born around 1798. I haven't been able to find any other Coombes names in the area. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Virginia (Ward) Bergmann Researching Hants County surnames: WARD, MOSHER, CALDWELL, LOWTHERS, BERRY
