Gloria Macallister, claiming .she was born in Australia a decennium ago, figured in an episode. She was found semi-conscious on the. beach at Montalivet. She told gendarmes she had been in the water for thirty hours. She left Newcastle on Saturday Sliaiighaiwards as a stewardess. She felt ill aftfer Sunday night’s festival and went on deck and fell over the railing as tne ship lurched. She grabbed a piece of timber anjl floated nightlong and all Monday. She saw at dawn on Tuesday Cordrin lighthouse and swam thereto, but the current carried her twenty miles south. Gendarmes are credible, but pilots and fishermen are sceptical. They say her steamer passed five miles away from the coast. The currents bear north not south. Furthermore, a rowing boat was seen offshore yesterday night. Inquiries are continuing.
