The Honolulus have made good and

Mrs Gladys Nee who once had first
choice for T, Gather Jones and his
mythical fortune, was the center OF
some commOtion in the X S. Ventura
which arrived yesterday from tn,
COnst, when that vessel was a few
hours out from the Golden Gate. The
liner was well on her way, with the
f'arallones fading behind her, when
Mrs. Nee, carrying her two year old
baby, appeared before Captain Dawson
and introduced herself as a stowaway
She told the startled skipper that sh,
was stony broke and just had to get
t" Honolulu.
Master in Predicament
Well.gowned young ladies with
babies are not the kind of stowaways
Captain Dawson is accustomed to deal
with. A bunk with the crew and q
job in the galley was not to be thought
of; the ships brig was no place for
twoyear.old with curly yellow hair
and the tears that were already flow

Nee arrested at the end of the trip.

Father Refuses Assistance
Mrs. Nee is a daughter Of DR.. F
Schurmann, corner of Bcretania nnC

wirelessed him, informing him of hi,
daughters and granddaughter pre-
dicament and asking him if he w0ul,
arrange for the payment of the pas

Word of the plight of the mother of
the baby, which played happily around
the deck and was an immediate favo-
rite amongst the other passengers, be
came known on the ship. Mrs. Nee
kept herself secluded in her statcroom.
