Seegelken while on a trip to Mexico aboard the S.S. Santa Catalina with her husband, Oliver. Marie is a very social woman and a keen observer to boot. She loves to draw and write, and she provides the reader with chatty fast paced entries regarding her interactions with other passengers, filled with observations upon their backgrounds, and any little idiosyncrasies she notices. On board she chats with Frances Parkinson Keyes, noted playwright and authoress, who was working on her next novel. She meets a powerful Mexican General who had attended the Geneva Convention and was supposedly friendly with Mussolini. She and her husband dine with the captain and attend dances and concerts with other passengers, some of whom she finds interesting enough to draw their portraits. In some entries she provides details regarding fishing trips in which they catch shark. On one occasion she writes that the men caught a 12 foot Tiger Shark, 'a real man eating specimen - lots of blood \u0026 strong odor - has stripes that classifies it as a tiger shark.' Accompanying this she provides a full page drawing of the shark hanging from a hook on board the ship. \"She draws sketches of the crew while they are performing various duties around the ship. And she is amused enough by them, that she captures their leisure activities as well, including a rendezvous by the stevedores on the lower deck. They go on to the mainland of Mexico and visit Manzanillo, Acapulco, Gulf of Tehemtepec, San Miguel, Corinto Cutuco, Mazatlan, Santa Elena, Salvador and Champerica. She draws several cityscapes of these towns as seen from the ship. She provides a wonderful drawing of a street singer in Acapulco sitting atop a horse with a guitar slung over his back and wearing a broad sombrero. In her entries she writes of her adventures in these towns providing her impressions of their conditions and their inhabitants. Of Manzanillo she writes: 'Have been in another world. . . Manzanillo is a lost world - so far removed from our civilization that is incredible. The filth and squalor of the little town itself defies description. In the glare of daylight it is an unholy sight yet curiously interesting. Burros and oxen drawn carts the only means of conveyance - the children half naked \u0026 caked with dirt followed us about wide-eyed with wonder. Suffocating stench in the market place - men asleep stretched out on streets - emaciated dogs fighting over a filthy bone - somewhere down the line a peons' voice drawing out a melancholy strain the accompaniment of a rusty guitar - now \u0026 then a pair of 'Jezabels' in long brilliant colored silk dresses - casting insidious looks - the money exchange where we waited twenty minutes while a sluggish employee battled with a broken-down safe deposit. 'Later a trip to the Hacienda Santiago in a jungle setting that surpassed anything I might have imagined.

Two natives stood hanging on to the side of the car \u0026 slashed the vegetation with their ____ huge knives that they carry in magnificent leather cases at their side.

The distant roar of thunder \u0026 the booming of the surf - thick dark threatening sky - heavy sweet smell of tropical growths - damp humid feeling in the air. Walked through some of the jungle – picked limes \u0026 gathered cocoa nuts - about the size of Brazil nuts, very tasty. Later went down to the beach \u0026 watched the sunset... saw some water scorpions \u0026 strange sea animal life – so wasn't tempted to go in.

Seegelken while on a trip to Mexico aboard the S.S. Santa Catalina with her husband, Oliver. Marie is a very social woman and a keen observer to boot. She loves to draw and write, and she provides the reader with chatty fast paced entries regarding her interactions with other passengers, filled with observations upon their backgrounds, and any little idiosyncrasies she notices. On board she chats with Frances Parkinson Keyes, noted playwright and authoress, who was working on her next novel. She meets a powerful Mexican General who had attended the Geneva Convention and was supposedly friendly with Mussolini. She and her husband dine with the captain and attend dances and concerts with other passengers, some of whom she finds interesting enough to draw their portraits. In some entries she provides details regarding fishing trips in which they catch shark. On one occasion she writes that the men caught a 12 foot Tiger Shark, 'a real man eating specimen - lots of blood \u0026 strong odor - has stripes that classifies it as a tiger shark.' Accompanying this she provides a full page drawing of the shark hanging from a hook on board the ship. \"She draws sketches of the crew while they are performing various duties around the ship.

They go on to the mainland of Mexico and visit Manzanillo, Acapulco, Gulf of Tehemtepec, San Miguel, Corinto Cutuco, Mazatlan, Santa Elena, Salvador and Champerica. She draws several cityscapes of these towns as seen from the ship. She provides a wonderful drawing of a street singer in Acapulco sitting atop a horse with a guitar slung over his back and wearing a broad sombrero. In her entries she writes of her adventures in these towns providing her impressions of their conditions and their inhabitants. Of Manzanillo she writes: 'Have been in another world. . .
