WOMAN MARINE ENGINEER.
ONLY AN EXPERIMENT.
LONDON, Jan. 13.—There will not he any more women ship engineers, according to Mr, Boots, the secretary of the; Marino Workers’ Union, commenting on the return from Australia of Miss Drummond as an engineer aboard the Anchises. The owners wished to enable her to qualify for an engineer’s ticket, said Mr Boots, but there is no chance of the experiment being repeated. “Women are not substitutes for men in the engine-room at sea,” added Mr. Boots. . “Miss Drummond wore trousers like the men, but she was only a sort of cadet, and sho is not likely to go to sea again.”
