Angel &amp; I walk along here one day &amp; see this ship ready for war.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In what seems like a haunting gesture today, Morse purchased a postcard of the Lusitania. The following May the ship will be torpedoed by a German U-Boat as it nears Liverpool. Sinking in 18&nbsp;minutes with a loss of 1,962&nbsp;lives, the attack will be regarded as a pivotal moment in America&#8217;s eventual engagement in the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morse, joined by her aunt Rosa, began their tour around the British Isles by attending garden parties and high teas, and then visiting Stirling castle, guided by a \u201c<em>a Scotchman half-soused.&#8221; <\/em>After sailing down the River Clyde to Loch Striven, they toured Edinburgh Castle and Seymour Street. They drove thru Ribble Valley, visited Whalley Abbey and attended the opera. In Paris, they spent time at the Louvre and Versailles. While there, Germany declared war against France. Morse and her aunt witnessed the mobilization of French troops to cheering crowds. After returning to London in early August, they shopped at Selfridges, and attended musicals. Morse and her aunt were in London when England declared war against Germany, and this time witnessed British troops marching in the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While staying with her cousins in Lancashire, Morse received a letter from the American Consulate in Manchester advising that <em>\u201call Americans in the district, whether already registered or not, appear in person and have themselves registered upon the proper forms at this consulate.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;Another <a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/stories\/turning-point\/mme-alexander-marias-transcription\/\">letter<\/a> arrived, this from desperate friend in France, dated August 9th. Mme. Alexander-Marias wondered if Morse might&nbsp;ask her cousin to send her some French notes, explaining <em>&#8220;All people having letters of credit are absolutely penniless, which is my case. [ ]&#8230;The situation is certainly serious, even English gold can not be exchanged easily, if I had some.&nbsp;<\/em><em>You know the anxiety of my country and you may imagine my bleeding heart!<\/em> <i>Thank god dear old England had found out we were oppressed and has come to our rescue, so we are hopeful!&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For their&nbsp;return voyage, Morse and her aunt had been booked on the &#8220;Arabic&#8221; due to sail on August 24th, but England&#8217;s declaration of war prompted them decide to return home earlier. They changed their booking to the &#8220;Winnifredian,&#8221; scheduled to sail on August 14th, but the ship was taken over by the Government.&nbsp;Morse wrote to the Leyland Line offices requesting passage on the &#8220;Cymartic,&#8221; but was informed that it&nbsp;was fully booked. Morse noted on the telegram&#8217;s envelope <em>&#8220;Nothing doing.&#8221;<\/em> After writing home for money and expressing her concerns, Morse received a letter from her mother, who counseled <em>&#8220;I do not think you need to be alarmed about getting home as the U.S. Government is getting busy to help all the stranded tourists to return. [ ]..so don&#8217;t get rattled and fool away all this good money for nothing. The Germans will all be killed by Aug. 25th.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md.jpg\" alt=\"Taken by Baker on Stern of Devonian - August 27th, 1914\" class=\"wp-image-1105\" width=\"398\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md.jpg 796w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md-100x126.jpg 100w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md-150x188.jpg 150w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md-200x251.jpg 200w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md-300x377.jpg 300w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md-450x565.jpg 450w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2015\/06\/SB-M9-MorseScrapbook_04md-600x754.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sarah Ida Morse.&#8221;Taken by Baker on Stern of Devonian.

Devonian,&#8221; and&nbsp;departed for Boston&nbsp;on August 22nd. Two days out of Liverpool, a&nbsp;collision between two ships, the &#8220;Aquitania&#8221; and &#8220;Canadian,&#8221; occurred. The&nbsp;Devonian accompanied the damaged Canadian back to port in Queenstown. After diverting to the Newfoundland Banks to avoid <em>&#8220;hostile interruption,&#8221; <\/em>followed by four days of severe storms, the Devonian finally arrived in Boston on August 31st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Morse witnessed declarations of war, in both Paris and London, and\u00a0watched as soldiers marched off to combat,\u00a0it was\u00a0not these events that\u00a0made the strongest impression. Back in Providence, she reported to local newspapers that the most exciting part of the trip was the collision of the two ships at sea.\u00a0A few weeks later, on September 9th, direct effects of the conflict Morse saw\u00a0erupting in Europe were\u00a0felt on Brown&#8217;s campus, when the death of Professor <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/browninthegreatwar\/stories\/professor-micoleau\/\" target=\"_blank\">Henri F.
