The children. however. ran all around the ship and the secondclass passengers above them would often throw them an apple or orange. Admiral Rickover had seen only one orange in his life before this time. That particular orange had been grown by Jewish settlers in the Holy Land and each family in the town had bought one. Before the ship arrived in New York. the ships pursers gathered all the immigrants together and told them they would send a telegram to the next of kin to enable the immigrants to be met at Ellis Island. But. apparently. they kept the money and did not send the telegram. because Mr. Rickover was not at Ellis Island to meet them.
