The way that worked slickest for me was quaffing potions of blindness
and speed (after eating an E, of course). The speed makes it easy to
get in line with the u; then when she teleports after you throw the
gem you can find her again and teleport to her (with the teleport control
ring) before the potion of speed wears off. A great way to unload gems,
though it uses up food fairly fast if you use ^T.
