WOMAN SAILOR.
VOYAGE FROM SOUTH AFRICA
HARD WORK DONE. Received August 4, 11.5 a.m. LONDON, Aug. 3. Miss Pamela Bourne, daughter of the late Sir Roland Bourne, of South Africa, has arrived aboard the Herzogin Cecile. She signed on as an ordinary seaman. She much prefers her marine experience to her previous job as a: society reporter and asserts that she went aloft and furled sails in a gale, and painted the figurehead from a plank swung over the bows. The only other woman aboard was a stewardess.
Captain Erikson says Miss Bourne was an excellent sailor. The ship reached, Capo Horn 43 days from Australia. It lost a lifeboat and split several sails in a gale.
