Port In Time Pilot Boat Aided In
tho Transfer Case Of Must CO."

Miss Edith Grinstead Of Eastbourne.
Sussex. enjoyed yesterday the experience
Of leaving an incoming steamship of the
Hook and boarding an utgoing liner from
the vawl Of pilot boat encouraged by
American and British cheers
She sailed from Galveston last week by
the Mallory liner Denver for this port.
Her father had prepaid her passage from
New York to Liverpool by the Cunarder
Campania and the Office of the line here
supposed that she was coming by rail to
get her ticket, "a the call TO Sussex was
urgent. She found that she could prob
ably catch the Campania by taking the
more pleasant sea route, Capt. Young
OF the Denver had told her that he would
be pretty certain to reach this port just
before the Campania sailed. but he did
not count on bad weather that held him
up down the coast and delay at Nassau
where the Denver touched on the way
from Galveston.
Miss Grinstead was much disturbed
when 10 o'clock. the Campania's sailing
hour, came and the Denver was still an
hour from the Hook The wireless opera
tor OH the Denver had sent for the young
woman message asking Capt. War; OF
the Campania TO please hold his ship a
while When it became apparent that
the Denver could not get up before noon
Capt. War; suggested by wireless that
Miss Grinstead might be transferred on
the Scotland lightship.
The arrangements were made by wire
less while the Campania was going down
the bay and the Denver was coming up
the coast. 1t was deci ded that Miss
Grinstead should leave the Denver and
go aboard the pilot boat New York and
when the yawl from the pilot boat went
out to take of the pilot who had brought
the Campania to sea Mise Grinstead
should 70 in the yawl and board the liner
by the sea ladder.
As she left the Denver Miss Grinstead
was cheered by passengers and crew.
She boarded the pilot boat and two men
took her alongside OF the Campania when
the Cunarder stopped to let Oh the pilot.
An officer lowered a line to the young
woman. telling her to tie it around her
waist % in case she slipped on the swaying
ladder she would not fall. The pilot made
the line fast to Miss 0rinstead.
Miss Grinstead had got from steward
ess a rubber band to put around the
bottom Of her skirt to prevent the brisk
sasteriy wind from playing pranks with
it. Thus gently hobbled sne climbed the
sea ladder and was received at the top
by two able seamen who lifted her aboard.
She was just bit perturbed, but smiled
as the Campania's passengers gave her
another cheer. It is essential that she
should be in England very soon and that
is why she took chances boarding the
Campania OF the Hook.
