Tea for Two—-Stowaways
PAULINE, AGED SIX, AND ALBERT, AGED FIVE
LONDON. The two youngest stowaways ever to come up the Thames were handed over to the police —for protection only. They were Pauline Sheppard, aged six and a half, and Albert Gregory, aged live. Both live at 180 High street Ramsgate.
Albert and Pauline slipped unnoticed with a crowd of people on to the pleas ure steamer Essex Queen when she was at Ramsgate. They were not discovered until the steamer reached the Thames estua-y Then the purser took them in charge and gave them some tea. The children were landed at Tilbury. “Please don’t take me to the policestation,” cried Pauline, a pretty little blue-eyed blonde. Sandy-haired Albert didn’t seem to mind what became of him.
Pauline’s happines was soon restored when the police gave her some more tea and biscuits.
