The fifth. Cynthia Albert Poole. Is
wear -old schoolgirl, of st. Petersburg, was
put ashore at Msyport, Fla, from the
destroyer Billingsly. He father. Joseph
Poole, had asked Secretary Wilbur TO
investigate the matter and determine
how girl could stow away aboard

selves as mattresses.
The young women said the captain of
the Concord furnished them with funds
for transportation back to New Or

Improvement. Yet 1t is now distinctly
better. Yesterday her hackhand strokes

topped to drop we'll within the back
