Excerpt from Every Child's Series: Work and Play in Colonial Days

To migrate to Holland, of itself, was a great hardship. Most of them had homes and were living in the same places where their fathers and grandfathers had lived be fore them. They sold these homes and their belongings to get money for going. What a hard thing it must have been for them to think of giving up all their comfort able things, to go to a strange country where even the language was different from their own English tongue. The next step was to get a ship to carry them to Holland. They were not allowed to leave peacefully, how ever. The authorities hindered their going by every means in their power. No English ship owner or captain dared to carry them, so they tried to engage a Dutch boat.
