Peoria, 111.—Playing the unique role
of society girl stowaway, Miss Jo
sephine Well, daughter of Joseph
Well, prominent in legal and political
circles here, gave the smart set a dis
tinct shock when she related her ex
traordinary experience, following her
arrival home from San Francisco.
1 Stories of travel among the lan
guorous Islands of the southern Pacific
ocean always have an appeal, but the
Interpolation of a society girl stowaway
is something so far out of the ordinary
that even the most captious and story
eurfelted globe trotter will probably
give attention to the remarkable nar
rative of the Peoria maiden.
Mrs. Well and her daughter left Pe
oria In May for California and, after a
short stay on the coast, sailed for
Honolulu.
Decides on Stowaway Role.
When they were ready to return to
the slates they were startled by the
Information that the United States
government had commandeered all of
the larger steamships for the return
of troops and the smaller had reached
the Unfit of their accommodations, res
ervations being made months ahead.
Cabled appeals for relief were fol
lowed by diligent effort upon the part
of Congressman Ireland of the Peoria
district. He was advised that 070
Americans were at Honolulu, includ
ing Mrs. Well and daughter, all anx
ious to return home. A message from
Governor McCarthy of Hawaii was
the only response, stating that pass
age could not be procured much before
October.
Miss Josephine was much disturbed
by this situation. She is a student at
an eastern college and anxious to com
mence her school duties.
Decides on Stowaway Role.
Becoming convinced that it was im
possible to obtain a passage before
Hid in a Nook Until the Vessel Was
Out of Sight of Land.
fall, Miss Weil, with the approval of
her mother, decided upon the role of
stowaway. She was well supplied
with money and. seizing an opportu
nity to enter the hold a few' hours be
fore the steamer Venezuela cast off,
she hid in a noolc until the vessel was
out of sight of land and there was no
chance to set her on shore again. She
then made her appearance, much be
grimed, and proffered the captain the
money usually required for (he pass
age across.
There was nothing to do but ac
cept the money and the situation with
the best grace possible. Miss Weil
was given quarters with the wife of
the purser and the journey was an
agreeable one. The other passengers
lionized her for her nerve and origi
nality and believe that she has the
distinction of being the first society
girl stowaway In the history of ocean
going vessels.
Miss Weil will be the heroine at a
round of social events here before she
leaves for the eastern school. Her
mother was apprised of the safe ar
yh»<! home of her daughter and the
former lias cabled that she expects
to sail from Honolulu some time in
September.
