The above marriage notice in yester-

made quite clear by a search in the rec

boat Oakland on the 9th inst. and after
passing Goat Island the ceremony began.
1t was ended just before the boat reached
the Oakland slip and was performed so
quietly and in a remote corner of the
salon, that the passengers were not aware

The party returned to San Francisco on
