WOMAN MARINE ENGINEER.
ONLY AN EXPERIMENT. London, Jan. 13 There will not be any mote women ship engineers, according to Mr. Boots, the secretary of the Mann? Workers’ Union, commenting on the retinr from Australia of Miss Drummond ai 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 she is not likely to go to sea again.”
