COUNTESS SAILS IN CARGO BOAT .LEAVES LIVERPOOL FOR PALESTINE "li.V. Times" Special Scrvici—l'.y Air Mail London, Feb. 5. The Countess of Carlisle, traveller and writer, left Liverpool this week in a cargo boat bound for the Near East. She is to travel alone for thousands of miles, the first stage in the 2,000-ton vessel Philomel. “This is no adventure,” Lady Carlisle said. “It is simply that I love travel and I prefer a cargo boat to the bustle of a big liner. “I have no revolver like the picturesque woman traveller of fiction, but I am quite prepared to rough it. “My longest overland run will be of 24 hours from Damascus to Bagdad, but if the authorities think it unwise for me to travel in Palestine, I shall go through Transjordania.”
