Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 82, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 April 1914 — Woman Explorer of Arabia. [ARTICLE]

Woman Explorer of Arabia.

A Russian woman, Countess Molitor, has just started on an attempt to cross Arabia at its widest part, from west to east, penetrating the Desert of Ro-ba’a-el-Khali. This huge desert is absolutely blank on the maps, has never been entered by a European, and is practically unknown even to the natives of adjoining parts of Arabia. The countess proposes to dresS as an Arab and to be accompanied only by natives.
