Departing on an expedition to Ny-assaland and British East Africa, Mrs. Oscar Straus, widow of the former Ambassador to Turkey, sailed on the Majestic Friday night. Mrs. Straus, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Rudyard Boulton of Pittsburgh, said that they will go to Cairo, then up the Nile to Wadi Halfa and across the desert by rail to Khartoum. They will go by boat to Jumbo and by motor to Lake Victoria. They will go on a big game hunt before reaching Nairobi.

Mrs. Straus and her companion, who is accompanying her, will leave from Mombassa on the east coast of Africa, for home, while Mr. and Mrs. Boulton will stay until August collecting birds for the American Museum of Natural History, for which the expedition is being made.
