PIRATES 0UTWITTED
BY AMERICAN GIRL S
Who Rescued Them
in Mediterranean Demand
ed Valuables.
BY Use of Diplomacy Girls Arr
Finally Brought to
Land.

BALTIMORE, Md, April a..
The pluck and diplomacy of two
fashionable girls of Baltimore, the
Misses Daisy and Laura Clark, who
have town house at 1925 Belve-
iere terrace and country home,
the Naples, in Baltimore county,
outwitted gang of Syrian free
hooters who attempted to rob the
women after rescuing them from
shipwreck In the Mediterranean.
First news of their remarkable
experience at sea reached their
friends here by mail last week.
One of the sisters, Miss Jan Clark,
was at one time champion tennis
player, winning honors in this
country and In England. Two
other sisters ale Miss Louise aud
Miss Elizabeth. 1t was to the lat
ter that the letter was written tell
ing of the exciting incidents in
foreign waters.
Misses Daisy and Laura were on
a steamboat from a port in Syria,
bound for Egypt, when the vessel
struck rock and began to sink.
The lifeboats were manned and
women and children put into them,
but the boats could not accommo-
date all. The captain sent up dis
tress signals, and several boats
from shore manned by native Sy-
rians came alongside. 1t was in
one of these boats that the Misses
Clark and several other young
women sought refuge.
The women expected to be TAX
en- ashore, but, instead, the Sy-
rians started for the open sea,
and when they got out of sight of
land demanded that the passen-
gers deliver over their valuables.
The Misses Clark and their COM
panions told the Syrian boatmen
In the first place that they were
not afraid of them, and, secondly
that they had no valuables other
than a little money, and a few
trinkets that were handed oyer
Finally the Syrians were prevailed
upon to return to shore with the
passengers, who agreed to reward
them when they were safe on land
The Misses Clark had their let
ters of credit and other valuablef
concealed about them, but they
managed to mislead the buccan
GERS of the sea. The Misses CIart
were safe in Cairo when thes

One million bales of cotton to be

This Is Jim Hills giant con.
tract this year-one of the great
est transportation tasks ever un-
dertaken.
The landing of the contract
marks new era for the south,
for the northwest and Japan.
1t means new market for
the south, more work for the
railroad men and across the coun-
try, and a mammoth increase in
Japan's new cotton industry.
And for the wizard of the north
Jim Hill--it means an
other daring adventure added to
his record.
One million bales-that means
500,0O0,000 pounds of cotton to
be carried half way around the
world. Hercules tabled tasks
would be child's play compared
to this.
