A WOMAN AND HER SHIPS
Miss Eileen O'Dowd, director of the Thyssen'liine of South African coastal steamers, the only woman director of a shipping company, was recently in England on her first holiday for years. She can direct the business of her company, but she cannot sew. "I'm Irish," she said, "I went to South Africa^ with my father when I was quite a little girl. Shipping and everything to do with shipping was always my passion, and, when I was still in my 'teens,-1 went to work for a shipping company as a typist. After some years, when I had all" the details of the shipping business at my fingertips, I went to the Thyssen Line as registered secretary. Now I am a director and proud of it;"
