The Five Barley Loaves

The Five Barley Loaves were a group of Australian women Baptist missionaries who travelled from Australia to Furreedpore (aka Furidipore) the Bengal region of India (now Bangladesh) in 1885. They were led by Ellen Arnold and inspired by Dr Silas Mead. Their name "The Five Barley Loaves" is a reference to the feeding of the five thousand in (c.f Mark 6:31-44, Mathew 14:13-21), which was the topic preached on at their commissioning service by Silas Mead. They were Ellen Arnold, Alice Green Pappin (later Mead), Ruth Wilkin, Marion Fuller and Martha Plested.[1]
They were later joined by two male missionaries (Abia Neville and Rev. Arthur Summers) who were jokingly referred to as the "Two Small Fish".
