Subsequently, Miss Farnum and
her husband, Maurice Barker.
booked passage reservations on
the Isle de France. They departed
Paris in a taxi, allowing them
selves more than time. The
driver, however, lost his way. It
was then too late to make the
ship. Panicky, Dorothy cabled
the Captain whom she knew re-
questing him to hold the boat IL
possible at such such a point.
She and her husband fsped to a
little fishing village, chartered
small sailing vessel and set forth
to meet the Isle. They made 1t,
all right, but the tide was so
great the little sailing vessel
couldn't edge sufficiently close to
the big liner. The captain never
suspected she was aboard the
nervous boat tossing nearby, and
seeing no other vessel In sight,
ordered full steam ahead.
Whereupon Dorothy wept bit
terly. A few days later she and
her husband sailed aboard the

return home, 1t may be little
