ENGLAND TO BERMUDA
Woman Plans Lone Voyage
(N.Z. PA.-Reuter—Copyright) HAMILTON (Bermuda), December 19. A Bermuda woman schoolteacher, armed with pickling jars and nets, plans to sail the Atlantic alone in the interests of science.
English-born Elizabeth Leeson, a science teacher at Bermuda High School for girls, said it was the only way she could study the reproductive processes of the Portuguese man-of-war, a jelly-fish. Miss Leeson hopes to set out from Falmouth, England, for Bermuda in her 22-foot sloop Wee Monarch in April after taking a course in navigation, seamanship and engine maintenance.
Her longest sailing voyage to date was 10 miles across the Solent to Cowes.
