' PILGRIMS’ DESCENDANTS
; AREDIFFIOULT TO LOCATE
LONDON, May 29—If there are ir
i England any descendants of the little
! band of Pilgrims who sailed in the
i Mayflower 298 years ago, they are
i !
difficult to discover. An American
| woman living in London has beer
r
: trying to find them, and with thai
1
object she inserted advertisements
y :
asking any “Mayflowers” now in Lon
s don to meet her at a hotel at a cer
3; tain hour.
y | The appointed hour came, and the
s American women waited. A moviny
f picture photographer, several news
r paper photographers and a dozen re
porters arrived and were mistakenly
enthusiastically greetd as May
1, flowers. There was an air of eagei
expectancy and suppressed excite
mcnt. Everybody waited for forty
e five minutes, but not a single “May
flower” appeared. There were sign
of disappointment.
.1 “But there must be some May
r __
■
j flowers in London,” said the Ameri- j
j can woman to the reporters. “I can’t
! be the only one”. She looked again
j at the door, but there was no sound;
of footsteps, and the meeting then
| adjourned.
