QUEEN'S GOD-DAUGHTER.
SEA-GOINQ ENGINEER. Miss Victoria Drummond, goddaughter of Queen Victoria, who was in New Zealand some years ago as engineer on the Anchiscs, is still at her job. She is the only woman to take her Board of Trade certificates as a sea-going engineer, and sailed for India the other day. Miss Drummond is very shy and modest, and hates people to imagine that by working in the engine-room she is doing anything at all clever or unusual. Portraits show her in a boyish-looking peaked cap, but in private life, so to speak, she is so essentially feminine that she has even been known to carry a parasol.
