ADVENTUROUS GIRL.

MOTORING TO AUSTRALIA. TRIP TO START NEXT MONTH. . LONDON. Feb. 13. Eager to emulate Mrs. Keith Milier, of Melbourne, who is flying to Australia, and whom she accompanied in England, Miss Margaret Starr, a slenderly-built Australian girl, desires to prove that she can return equally adventurously. She is to participate in a 20,000-nyle motor trip to Australia. Miss Starr's companion on the long "jaunt" will be Captain F. B. Robinson, a former Air Force pilot, and they will usd a light Jowett motor-car'. Starting early in March, the adventurers will cross the Continent to Brindisi, and then take ship to Port Said. From there they will motor by way of the Sudan, Kenya, Tanganyika, Rhodesia, the Transvaal and Capetown. They will proceed to Perth by steamer and will then motor across the continent to Sydney, via Adelaide and Melbourne. Miss Starr gays the trip will be a great adventure. After leaving Italy, the route will be all-British throughout. They expect difficulties over petrol and food isupplies in the desert and jungle ajeas, and vill largely rely on tinned food. They will take guns, however, in the hope of shooting for "the pot." Miss Starr, who is a relative of the late Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, has travelled extensively in the South Seas. Captain Robinson was a prisoner in Germany during the war.
