The RAYMOND HAINES TELLS STORY OF HIS TRIP SOUTH! In the Sunday Times of June 23 appears the following story of Ray- mond Haines' trip south in his lit- tle boat, as written by Peter Sal- vus of the Times' staff: Robinson Crusoe’ couldn’t have had the thrills that were packed into five days for Raymond L. Haines, daring outboard driver who was in Seattle Saturday following his unsuecessful attempt to make a record boat run from Juneau, Alaska, to Seattle, over a 1,086-mile course. Leaving Juneau Thursday, June 13, at 1:30 in the afternoen, Haines in his Evinrude-powered 15-foot boat, encountered ideal weather for the first seventy-five miles, but of his trip to|rough water developed off Ketchi- the Alaska Pen-|kan. Rather than stop, however, he kept on in the face of a heavy southeaster that blew . along - the [food during that time. - He made huildings.- night, no message was received. To- day Haines disclosed his accident and the conditions that forced him to abandon the attempt for the time being, at least. Driven Onto Shore When the first swells from the blow started, Haines figured them to be dangerous, but not enough so to force him to put into shore. Traveling all Thursday night and most of Friday morning, he was finally driven close to shore twelve miles south of Cape Caution and about 500 miles from Juneau. Sixty miles in either direction was a rocky coast with no possible way of landing and ‘heavy swells aking any attempt to put into shore dangerous. He truised about with his motor running just enough to keep him from drifting with the heavy tide, until he noticed @ sandy stretch, the only one within miles, about a half-mile in length. For ten nours ne battled sgainst the seas and winds in attempting a with the motor running wide open, y was never more than eight knots an hour against the winds and cur- rents, The first swell, breaking ¢lose to shore, carried him in on an even keel, but the secory easught him astern and swung his boat around. The third swell strueck the exposed beam and tossed the tiny boat like a plece of driftwood to send it high up on shore and turn it over. Haines was thrown under the craft on the beach and suffered a'brok- en left wrist and a sprained right wrist. Ships Pass Him By Haines waited for a passing ship to pick him up but recetved'no as- sistance for ires ‘days. <~ Craft went by during that time but were too far offshore to notice his sig- nals.

For her ofr e part Chicago May served three years in a French prison. As soon as she was released she set about several unsuccessful efforts to launch his craft but his injured arms prevented him from lifting the boat. He was finally rescued and taken ‘to Nanaimo where he sent word via the tug Sea Lion Tuesday at midnight, to his wife. “ During the run he covered 734 out of the 1,086 miles of the jour- ney.

At an appointed tim: she had a yacht off Dutch Guiana and having attended to the briber of guards left the rest to Guerin. Her obligations to Guerin wer discharged, and while he kept unde; cover for a number of years, sht continued a series of brilliant ope- rations in London. During this pe- riod she became acquainted with the American bank robber, Charlie Smith. Guerin kept himself wel informed and nursed his grievance against Smith until an opportune moment, when he reappeared in London. May learned that he had threatened to ruin her beauty. which was one of her chief assete, by scarring her with a knife. As she and Smith were leaying a cab they saw Guerin and Smith opened fire, wounding his rival. Smith was given a life sentence, but was released three years later. May served ten years. . Ten years in an English prison left her with little taste for the old life. She is now about fifty years of age. Her book was published several years ago and she has been living in retirement. Little had been heard of Smith until the pres- ent announcement that he had re- joined his former companion and they had agreed upon.marriage. May's engagemant to Netley N. Lueas, criminologist, was ~an- nounced & year and a half ago, but that rumor was later admitted to have resulted from the fact that her book, “Chicago May—Her Life,” and his book, “Ladies of the Under- world,” appeared at about the same time and revealed their acqualnt- ance. —l O Billboards are “so strictly regu- | lated in' PFrance that signs are| painted on ‘toofs and walls of farm { .
