Miss May Storey, a woman detective told wireless listeners in Sydney lately how she was struck dumb for a year—and how that helped her to become a detective. Many years ago, Miss Storey said, she was returning r'nne from a party down a dark country lane in Cumberland, when some youth suddenly jumped from behind a hedge dressed in sheets. The shock was so great that she lost her power of speech for a year. Twelve months later Miss Storey was watching a small nephew bathing in the sea, when he got into difficulties. She tried to yell —and did yell. Her voice had returned. But, during her year of silence, she had studied law, languages, and chemistry, and from this, she said, she turned herself to detective work.
