, found to be impossible they attempted
to stow her away.
/ Had the transport gone direct to sea
all would have been well, but instead
she went to the upper bay, where two
hours were spent in adjusting the

! AS the hours crept on Mrs. Dusen-
bury made sure the Indiana was at
sea and put her head out or her hid
ing place AS ill-luck would have it,
quartermaster was standing within
a few feet of her, and he at once took
her before the captain. AS soon as
the boys in blue saw the little woman
on the bridge they knew what was
the matter. subscription was taken
up and more than twice the amount of
the passage money was offered for her
berth. 1t was against the rules of the
transport service, however, and Mrs
Dusenbury was sent ashore on the tug
Slocum When bidding her husband
goodby the tears rained down her
cheeks, and there was not a man on
board but had to turn away and pre-
tend to see something of interest on
the Oakland shore.
I The devotion of Mrs. Dusenbury to
her soldier husband makes most ro-
mantle story Dusenbury went to Cuba
with the Tenth Infantry, and while
there fell in love with a pretty little
Cuban girl She was and is an expert
seamstress and first-class dress
.
a marriage, and soon thereafter the
Tenth was ordered home. Dusenbury
and his friends in Company D decided
to take Mrs. Dusenbury home with
them on the transport without Uncle
Sam being any the wiser. All the lit
tie woman's household effects includ
ing her sewing machine, went aboard
the transport with the company's bag
gage, and after a stormy voyage every
thing was safely landed in New York.
Ever since Mrs. Dusenbury has fol-
lowed the regiment, beating her way
on trains, and with the assistance of
the boys of Company D, bringing her
belongings with her. At the Preside
she made many friends and when
Company d of the Tenth was ordered
to get ready to accompany battalion
of the Twenty-eghth to Manila Mrs.
Dusenbury and her friends at once be-
gan to plan her trip to Manila. All
her belongings, including the sewing
machine, were got aboard, and when
the troops went down the little Cuban
woman got aboard and hid away in
the place prepared for her by her SOL
der friends. Had it not been for that
unfortunate two hours stop in the up
per bay Mrs, Dusenbury would now
be with her husband
The would-be stowaWay cannot talk
a word of English. and the only per-
son on the Slocum who could talk
Spanish was the cabin boy. Through
him Captain Marshall learned that she
wanted to get to the Presidio and that
then she would try to get away on the
Pennsylvania with the remainder of
the Tenth Regiment.
Mrs. Dusenbury succeeded in get
ting passage on the Pennsylvania. and
is now en- route to join her husband
.. in the Philippines.
