Petra Malena Moe was born on September 12, 1863, in Hafslo, Norway, child of Claus Rumohr and Brita Lonheim Moe. They had nine children, six of whom survived. The Moes registered each child with the church, though only nominally a religious family. "Malla," as she was known for the rest of her life, received seven years of schooling between the ages of eight and fifteen, but disliked it, preferring outdoor activity.| archives.wheaton.edu

ZamZam was a ship of neutral Egyptian registry which was shelled and sunk by a German warship in the south Atlantic Ocean April 17, 1941. The ship was carrying, besides the crew, about 200 passengers, mainly American missionaries. Only one person died as an immediate result of the shelling. The passengers and crew were carried to German-occupied France, where citzens of neutral countries were released and citizens of belligerent countries were put in internment camps.| archives.wheaton.edu
