He soon found in the want-ad column of a Philadelphia paper a notice that cattlemen were wanted by a Baltimore house making a shipment to England on a boat of the Johnson line named the "Baltimore."

Before dawn the following day, the "Baltimore" was ploughing the seas and the young man who aspired to learn something of the practical side of life was on board, a duly en rolled cattleman.

Pen could not describe the hardships of that first voyage; the privation and suffering was unbelievable. The seas were rough and the boat had the reputation of being the worst boat of the worst line in the trans-Atlantic service. In this experience, Paul learned much of the need of human sympathy which greatly affected his own life and indirectly the life of Rotary. Without this experience, he never could have believed that human beings could sink so low. After being tossed about for fourteen days, the "Baltimore" entered the Mersey and the cattlemen were soon landed in Liverpool." Page 50 The Founder of Rotary, 1928
