[3] Hitchcock accompanied her husband to the 1873 Vienna World's Fair, Paris Exposition, 1878, to Japan, 1882, where his ship remained two years; and again in 1892, when he was captain of USS Alert.

[3] Hitchcock was so impressed with the mining and agricultural possibilities of the Yukon that she spread the knowledge she had gained through lectures, which added largely to funds for churches and hospitals.

She returned to the north, where she staked more than 100 claims and because so deeply interested financially that she spent the greater part of five years there.

Owing to the waters of the Yukon River being low, the two women were delayed for some time at Dawson City where they located miner's claims and lived as squatters.

[6] Mary Evelyn Hitchcock died April 6, 1920, and was buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, Massachusetts.
