MARTIN Grace a spinster of 'full age' who also resided at St Austell.

Drowned at sea near Cape Race, Newfoundland, when the "Arctic" sank with the loss of nearly 400 lives.
So it appears that Nicholas Pascoe may have been the only family member on
board. A passenger list was detailed in the book "Woman and Children Last -
The Loss of the Steamship 'ARCTIC' " by Alexander Crosby BROWN and published
by G.P.Putnam's Sons, New York. A list was also on the front page of the
New-York Daily Times, on Wednesday, October 11, 1854. The paper has
"M.Pasive and four friends". The book has "Pascoe, M. (Pasive); Pascoe,
First Friend of; Pascoe, Second Friend of; Pascoe, Third Friend of; Pascoe,
Fourth Friend of". None of the five are shown as survivors. The "M."
instead of "N" for Nicholas is an understandable misread of a hand written
"N".
It would probably be true to say that Nicholas would not have been 'down on
his heels'. His father-in-law Robert MARTIN would have been reasonably well
off owning and having interests in several tin and china clay mines.
Nicholas himself was a Clay Agent so affording the cost of the passage would
not have been a huge problem.
