MYSTERY WOMAN
PICKED UP IN OCEAN
Skipper of Pilot Boat New
York Finds Her Adrift in
Small Open Boat.
is DRESSED FOR JOURNEY
Recovering Consciousness She
Says She Is Bound From
Denmark to Denmark.

Skipper Charles Beebe Of the trim
little pilot boat New York sat snug and
comfortable in the deckhouse OF his
craft yesterday as he eased her In
through the blow that chopped UP the
water in Ambrose Channel about ten
miles south Of the Ambrose Light.
There was nip In the air and a
swirl to the wind that bid Skipper Beebe
hurry. for even so staunch a craft as
the pilot boat of which he is boss he
knew needs must hurry with such tell
Ing signs of blustery weather in the
offlng. 1t was about 6 o'clock in the
evening when the skipper tugged vi
ciously at his wheel. changed the gong
for the engine room and reached out
quickly for his glasses.
He took a good long look off to port
and then rang the gong again. An
other twist at the wheel sent the pilot
boat scurrying off in the direction Of
the little black speck that had attracted
the shippers attention. Slowly the New
York cut down the distance. and the
black Speck turned green.
Open Boat Tossing In Seas.
Then 1t took the form of an open
boat--a very small, very wabbly, and,
apparently, a very frail open boat. There
was a heap of something in the pea
green craft, which bobbed and turned
and twisted in the tumbling seas. and
so Skipper Beebe raced his engines as
perhaps they never were raced before.
After about fifteen minutes of hust-
ling. the New York got close enough to
the open boat to hail. No response
came, but there was a movement Of the
crumpled up bundle in the bow.
Beebe manoeuvred the New York 30
skilfully that the pilot boat finally was
in such position that her crew dug the
sharp points OF their boathooks into the
sides OF the drifting row boat and
hauled II alongside.
The bundle then was quickly discov-
cred to be woman, sound asleep ap-
parentfy or else partly unconscious from
exposure. She was hauled quickly aboard
the New York and a drink brought her
to her senses promptly enough. Then
Skipper Beebe asked her who she was.
Victoria Nelson" said the woman.
where are you FROM"
Denmark"
where are you going"'
Denmark"
Speaks Like q Scandinavian.
Further than that Skipper Beebe was
unable to penetrate the mystery. She
was dressed as for a long journey, with
a heavy tan dress, a heavy plush over
coat and big black hat with blue
feathers. She was about 40 years old
and spoke with the unmistakable accent
OF a Scandinavian.
Becbe couldn't find out where or how
the woman got into the boat, how long
she had been in It, or where she lived.
So he headed the New York for st.
George, s. l., where he turned his
woman Of mystery over to the police Of
the Stapleton station.
They questioned her some more. but
added nothing to Beebe's information
that she came from and was going to
Denmark So they sent her to Staten
Island Hospital for observation as TO her
mental condition. Now the police are
trying also 70 find the owner OF the
boat in the hope that they may get rid
of some OF the mystery.
