ADVENTURE IN PERSIA
An adventurous life appeals to an English girl, Miss Nancy Lindsay, who recently took back to England 1200 specimens of the rarest flora and fauna from a recent expedition, undertaken under the auspices of the Natural History Museum, to Persian territory, where no white woman had before penetrated. Miss Lindsay travelled through the jungle on foot, accompanied only by bearers, and on one occasion had a narrow escafle from death when a ferocious native guard dog attacked her outside a tiny village. _ She took no weapons, had the official protection of the Persian Ministry of the Interior, and travelled many hundreds of miles, meeting varying conditions.
