It was the 21st of february 1926 when my great grandmother Olive stokes and her sister gladys left their home in leicester. They said goodbye to their parents and caught a train to london at 4 am. They stayed the night at london before hopping onto a boat that was bound for Australia. At this point olive was only 22. The boat was a P.& 0.Branch liner named th S.S. “Barrabool”. This massive ship weighed 13,500-tons. When they were about two hundred miles from Cape Town the Wireless Officer received a S. O. S. at seven o’clock one morning. Ship on fire! As the “Barrabool” was only one hundred miles away she was the closest rescue ship. So the engineers put on top speed which was only about 14 knots, arriving at one p.m. The fire was on the S.S. “Paporoa”. Eventually the 94 crewmen, 6 stowaways and one first class passenger were all brought over to the “Barrabool”. 3 days later they reached Capetown, and then travelled through the Indian ocean for a clear run to Australia, many days later they reached Adelaide and had now arrived in Australia
