The story Is that the first Thanks-
giving celebration was licit! by the
Pilgrim fathers about two years after
the first landing nt Plymouth Hock.
The summer had been cold and wet

What little stores the Pilgrims had
were exhausted and the only hope j
they had to escape starvation was
the arrival of a relief ship from Eng-
land. In those days of slow sailing
ships the time of crossing the Atlan-
tic was always an uncertainty. There
were times when a Bhip would be
blown a thousand miles or so out of
its course and it might be months in
getting across if It got across at all.
The relief ship had started but af-
ter a long delay. Then It had en-
countered storms which had made

cross with favorable winds, drag out
