GIRL WINS
RACE WITH TIME AND TIDE. m A pretty London girl, Miss E. M. Stead, climbed on board the White Star liner Majestic as it was leaving Southampton docks recently for New York, from a tug in which she had completed an exciting race from London against time and tide. Delayed by traffic hold-ups, Miss Stead arrived at Waterloo in time to see the boat train disappearing. She at once chartered a fast car and was driven to Southampton inside an hour and three-quarters—touching 60 m.p.h. on the way. The liner was 50 feet away from the quay when Miss Stead's car drew up, and she dashed on to the waiting tug.
