A 15 year old girl who caused a sea battle on a British tanker was placed on good behavior for two years on a stowing away charge. If she misbehaves again she could be brought back to court. The tanker captain had taken the ship to Miami after crew quarrels hid the girl in quarters when leaving Southampton. She used the name Lavinia Ross and claimed to be a Southampton waitress. Under juvenile law her real name was kept secret. Two sailors face trial for aiding and abetting her stowaway.
