Miss Kustel Duplicates
Her Experience.
Twice Married TO the Same Man.
A Pretty Wedding
at Sea.

There was a quaint wedding in the
cabin of the barkentine Sharpshooter
last evening-the second within six
months. Strange to say the bride and
groom were the same on both Occa-
sions, the former Pearl Isabel de Sal
azar Kustel, daughter of Capt. C.. B.
Kustel, master of the barkentine, and
the latter William E. Saville, wealthy
young dairyman of Crescent City.
The first wedding occurred at sea on
July 18th, almost under the equator,
while the Sharpshooter was sailing be-
fore a fair wind for Australia. Capt.
Kustel performed the ceremony on that
occasion, and the event was chrOnicled
in the Australian papers when the
barkentine reached port. Last evening
the nuptial knot was tied still tighter
by Rev. Julius Fuendeling of ST.
Marks German Evangelical Lutheran
Church, in the presence of the mother
and sisters of the bride and few in
innate friends of the young couple,
says the San Francisco Chronicle of
December 9th
The romance of two youthful lovers
d
were the elements that combined to
bring about the first wedding. The
bride and groom are both natives of
Crescent City, and sweethearts from
childhood The groom is an orphan
and ward of Superior Judge James E.
Murphy of Del Norte County. Recent
ly he attained his majority and came
into a large fortune, left him when
child at the death of his father. Al
though Miss Kustel was but II, he had
been a sutton for her hand for several
years, and he pressed his suit so ard
emily that Capt, and Mrs. KuStel final
Iy gave their consent.
Then the young folks made known
their earnest desire to be married at
sea, and prevailed upon Capt. Kustel
to consent. 1t was arranged that Miss
Kustel should accompany her father
on his voyage to Australia, and Sa
vile went along as passenger. When
in latitude deg. So min. south, Iongi-
| tude 166 deg 20 min. west, just about
in mid-ocean, on July 18th, Capt. Kus-
| tel summoned the entire crew, and in
their presence "spliced' the romantic
| young couple.
Mr. and Mrs. SaVille spent their hon
eymoon in Australia, returning home
on the Sharpshooter, which reached
this port Sunday. They were Welcom-
ed by Mrs. Kustel and a host of young
friends. 1t was in accordance with the
express wish of Mrs. Kustel that the
wedding was resolemnized last evening
by clergyman-Or Gospel shark" as
Capt. Kustel chooses to call him.
The cabin of the SharpshOOter was
brilliantly lighted and made bright and
attractive with flowers. The bride, a
pretty brunette of medium height, was
dressed in a dark travelling costume,
with orange blossoms in her hair, and
carried a bunch of viOlets She was
attended by Miss Fannie Finley of this
city. The groom wore a business suit,
with sprig of orange blossoms in his
coat lapel. Edward Murphy, son of
Judge Murphy, the grOOm's former
guardian, acted as best man. The only
guests outside of the immediate fam
lily of the bride, were Miss May Finley
and A Kustel, son of Capt. KusteI of
the ship Hawaiian Isles.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev julius Fuendeling at exactly 8
o'clock 1t was brief and simple. Mr..
and Mrs. Saville will make their home
in Crescent City, where the groom will
assume the management of the large
dairy, which is a part of his inherit
ance.
