TRAVELLING ALONE
COUNTESS OF CARLISLE THRILLED.
Thrilled by the prospect of travelling alone some thousands of miles in the Near East, the Countess of Carlisle, traveller and writer, left Liverpool recently in the 2000-ton cargo vessel Philomel. “This is no adventure,” Lady Carlisle said to a reporter. “It is simply that I love travel and I prefer a cargo boat to the bustle of a big liner.
“I have no revolver like the picturesque woman traveller of fiction, but I am quite prepared to rough it. “My longest overland run will be of 24 hours from Damascus to Bagdad, but if the authorities think it unwise for me to travel in Palestine alone I shall go through Transjordania.”
