ACROSS SEA
TO SEEK LOST LOVER. LONDON, July 20. Stalwart, sunburnt Michael Foley, <> squatter from Toowoomba (Queensland), is combing England for a lost sweetheart of his youth, whom he leih 20 years ago. “Maybe she is married. Maybe she is dead, but I’ll find her, if it takes every cent I possess,” Foley said today. He went to Australia 20 years age penniless, but, inspired by the memory of a Kentish girl he eventually made good. They wrote to one another for eight years, then his letters were returned. “Maybe she thought that eight years was time enough for a man to succeed,” Foley reflected, “but Australia is a hard country, and it has taken me 20 years to beat it.”
