There was a marriage aboard the Aus

cabin-boys were all interested spectators,
and as soon as the ceremony was performed
they serenaded the couple with tincans
and foghorns The bride and groom were
mulattoes and were married by negro

A little over year ago Miss Vina King
was known as the wife of George Washing
ton, negro, well known in Honolulu.
George began to bestow his affections on
native women, and there was trouble in
camp. A quarrel ensued and Vina struck
George over the head with pick and frac-
tured his skull. He recovered and she was
sentenced to serve six months on the reef.

Francisco and was engaged by one OF the
dives as hula-hula dancer.
Hearing that business was good in Homo
lulu, she determined to return there. and

The woman was discOnsoiate until q
happy thought struck her. She wrote to a
former admirer named Thomas Dorrell,
and he at once went to her assistance. He
procured marriage license, and accom-
panied by the minister, went to the
steamer in his overalls. Chief Officer Law
less would not allow the ceremony to be
performed until he saw the captain or the
Ships agents. While he was gone, how
ever, the marriage took place and the Sur
veyor Of the Port allowed Mrs. Dorrell (nee
King) TO land.

the ship in hurry in order to be present
at the ceremony. A dog scared his horse
