Hurricane Connie May Miss Bahamas Moves Through Open Water On Mainland MIAMI (INS) — Hurricane Connie, packing winds up to 135 miles per hour, moved through open water northeast of the Bahamas today toward the mainland. The Miami weather bureau in its latest advisory said it appeared the tropical storm would by-pass the Bahamas. The howler was centered about 300 miles east northeast of Nassau. The weather bureau reported Connie was moving at about 15 miles per hour on a northwest to north northwest course. Small craft from Cape Hatteras, N. C„ to the central Florida east coast were warned to stay .close to port until the hurricane passes. The storm was expected to continue on its present course for the next 12 hours at a slightly reduced rate of about 12 to 13 mph. ‘ The bureau s*id: ‘‘This course if continued relieves the threat to the Bahamas, "but interests there should remain on the alert until the passage is confirmed later today.” Winds of hurricane force — 75 miles per hour—extended outward 100 miles from the center of the storm and gales stretched for 250 miles to the north and east and 150 miles to the southwest of the core.

Girl Stowaway b Taken Off Warship Hawaiian Girl Met By Agents Os FBI LbNG BEACH, Calif. (INS) —• S-ixteen-year-old JoyceMn Joan 7 Piiapil, who made her way from Hawaii to the mainland as u stoyaway aboard the Canadian destroyer Athabaskan, says she doesn’t want to go home, “but I guess I’ll have to.” The girl is being held in juvenile hail in Long Beach pending disposition ot her case. FBI agents met her with a coast guard fire boat and took her off rhe destroyer before the warship docked Sunday. They treated it as a solemn and serious affair, but the teenage Hawaiian would have none of that. She was all smiles as she left the boat and she waved a cheery goodbye to the 240 officers and men who had been shipmates during a week's voyage from Pearl Harbor. When the girl left home she left a note to her parents saying she was going away with Bill and indicating that she was expecting a baby. She said today that there really is a Bill, although she refused to identify him, but the hint about the baby was “a fib."
