BEATEN BY A WOMAN.
INCIDENT IN IRISH WARFARE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 7, 7.45 p.m. London, June 6. Newspapers are giving prominence to Mrs. Laverton, the so-called “Woman of Lough Erne,” who, aboard her yacht, the Pandora, commandeered a fleet of small boats for the transport of soldiers, who were thus able to take the Sinn Feiners in the rear. Some of t'he boats commandeered were in Sinn Fein waters, and the Sinn Feiners are greatly chagrined, never believing that a woman would venture on bullet-swept waters. Mrs. Laverton wore a dainty pistol in her belt. On one occasion she stalled off a Sinn Fein raid by mounting a big brass telescope in the bow of the boat and pretending it was a machine gun. — Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
