According to a news clipping in my possession,S1 Martha (Bonnett) Goode, was an actress. She had been playing in England in the summer of 1939, but the company determined to leave because of the "tense diplomatic situation." They sailed from Glasgow on the Athenia on September 1st and heard on the morning of September 3rd that Britain and Germany had declared war. A few hours later, they were torpedoed by a U-Boat with considerable loss of life (including more killed trying to lower the lifeboats), but they were picked up that night by a Royal Navy destroyer.
