Misses Greenwood Of Hartford Back From Europe-Tdoa Guests of Their Sister Here-Were at Milan When War Broke Out,

-
 Misses Grace and Cora Greenwood or Hartford are at their sisters, Mrs. G. H. Jennings. They arrived in Boston on Saturday having sailed August fourth, from Naples on inc Canopic, of the White Star Line. They were scheduled to said on the Ham burg, American line, but were advised by the consul at Milan, where fbeV were at the opening of the war, to risk go1ng to Naples and taking the Can opic. It was impossible to get any money on their letters of credit or American express checks before they ieIt. but by taking all the money of the party when they reached Naples lraVel1ng all night and until the aft srnoon of the next day, the party of four secured first class passage, one lady having three cents left. When the boat reached Boston, many pas sengers had no money at all to get anywhere. There were supposed to De seventy-five first class passengers but there were two hundred and if teen. The day before the boat sailed the cook left, but everything possible was done by the officers of the boat for the comfort of the passengers. NO stop was made at the Azores. It was an anxious trip until within two days of Boston. no lights being aI- lowed in outside state rooms, and at night only two lights shining at the bow and stern of the boat. News was very meagre. as this was purposely suppressed so that there would be no trouble on the boat, on account of the different nationalities among the pas sengers. Miss Cora Greenwood con- ducted the party, as she has done for several years. Their trunks are in Hamburg, and she had s650 worth of steamship and railroad tickets in her possession. She is uncertain at pre- sent as to how much of this trans portation paper will be redeemable.
