The Finnish four-masted barque "Herzogin Cecilie" has just won a race against her Swedish rival the four-masted barque" Beatrice" by aniling 14,000 miles from Port Lincoln, Australia, via Copa Horn, to Falmouth in 90 days.
After three days in hiding Mias Jeinne emerged from the aft hold, and the imazement her appearance created in the "Herzogin Cecilie" is graphically described by Mr. A. J. Villiers, one of the crew.
"Everybody was thunderstruck;" he declared.
If she had been a man we should have been glad, for we should have welcomed as many male stowaways as were mad enough to come. But a woman in a ship of sails-and an unattached young woman at that was useless, unwanted, and in the way. Besides, women brought head winds, said some of us;.
