Notes par Carolus Borromeus "Karel Boromeus" Pellens

Buenos Aires Herald - 23 Dec 1934?

GOLDEN WEDDING
PELLENS-COOK - On Dec. 23, 1884, at Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, New York, by the Rev. W. H. Morgan, Elizabeth Cook to Charles Pellens.
(...)
A little later in the morning I saw Mr. Charles Pellens and in view that to-day he is celebrating his golden wedding with a little family party at Temperley I was in nice time to tender congratulations to him and tell him I hoped in due course to repeat congratulations for his diamond wedding day. He is the father of Mr. Charles Pellens, the well-known passenger manager of the Furnes Prince line. Mr. Pellens (SR.) has been settled in this country since 1886, but prior to coming to Argentina, he had quite a busy life at sea. He retired as purser of the Red Star Line as back as 1885. Then he spent 25 years in the Southern Railway and retired again, and now he is working as busily as ever with John Heckman & Co, the fruit exporters, with whom he has been connected for the past twenty years. Altogether quite an industrious gentleman, Mr. Pellens.
I managed to get him yarning once about his seafaring experiences int eh seventies and he had some very interesting stories to tell. In 1878 he left Antwerp on a little 600-ton sailing ship which took 131 days to make Valparaiso. She was the Marnix de Santa Aldagonda. You often write about ships being overloaded - you should have seen that one, he told me. The vessel was so overloaded that she shipped water in her scuppers moving idly in Antwerp Harbour, and as soon as soon as the voyage began they lost their jib-boom in the English Channel.
***
Rounding the Horn the captain of the vessel went so far south that the crew, many days and nights withoutsleep, began to think that he was trying make the Pole and it took weeks to get back after making the Pacific side. Mr. Pellens described Valparaiso in those days as being a very one-horse town. What impressed him most was the bay outside where the herrings cam in in shoals so think to scape the sharks that at times it was difficult to row ashore.
He saw a great deal of the west coast during the next couple of years or so as his ship remained there running as a food transport for Chile during the Chilean-Peruvian war. Later he became a purser in the Red Star Line, small 5,000 ton ships, carrying an average of 1,200 immigrant passengers a trip from Europe to New York. Those were the days when pursers really worked according to Mr. Pellens. In addition to getting those 1,200 passengers manifested and looked after as they travelled on their unpleasant twelve day journey between decks, he very often had the additional job of vaccinating most of their number. Those were the good old days.

Buenos Aires Herald, 26/11/1941?
Charles Pellens.
The death yeasterday , of Mr. Charles Pellens, in his 82nd year caused wide-spread regret, in railway, shipping, and general business circles, because the deceased had been probably one of the best-known businessmen in the last half century.
Born in Antwerp, the late Mr. Pellens commenced his career when he set out to see the world by shipping before the mast and eventually arrived in New York.
How long ago that was is evidenced by the fact that he married there, Miss Elizabeth Cook, an Englishwoman, in 1884. The golden wedding was celebrated in Buenos Aires in 1934.
The late Mr. Pellens came with his bride to Argentina in 1885 and they both decided to settle in this country. Mr. Pellens joined the Great Southern Railway and after five years, resigned to take up farming.
Later he re-joined the Southern Railway and was soon promoted to the position of station-master.
Having qualified for European leave, the late Mr. Pellens visited Great Britain and Belgium and found that the climate did not agree with him. He then returned to Argentina, where he lived ever since.
After voluntary severing his connection with the Southern Railway in 1910, Mr. Pellens, later joined the firm of John Heckman and Company, North American hide exporters and which firm he remained with until he retired.
The late Mr. Pellens, who is survived by his wife and three sons and two daughters, was of a retiring disposition, and a keen student of international politics, he commenced by familiarising himself with the history of the Franco-German war of 1870 and studiosly followed all political developments from then onwards.
Highly respected and well-loved figure in local social circles, the deceased gentleman leaves behind him a host of friends who now mourn his passing.
The funeral will take place today at Lavallol Cemetery.
