YANK ENGINEER:
WEDDING BELLS
Romance of The Indian Ocean
Ends In Christ Church
Bride Sails From Glasgow To
Keep Her Troth With Man
She Met In East Africa
Especial to the Farmer.)

Stratford, Oct. ga romance be-
gun on a steamer in Indian ocean had
a happy conclusion Monday at Christ
church when Beatrice M. Clarke of
Greenock, Scotland, became the wife
of Charles A. Haynes, a, resident of
Devon. After crossing the Atlantic
to keep her troth, Miss Clarke arrived
in New York on the steamer Gale
donia and was met by her betrothed
and his friend w. j. Watson of De-
Won. The party. came to, Stratford
Immediately and the wedding followed
the next afternoon.
Several years ago Charles A Haynes,
constructing engineer in the employ
of the Fletcher Engineering Co. of
Brdseport. was sent to East Africa
to take charge of large contracts
which the company had secured there
He fulfilled his mission with credit
to himself and. profit to his firm. Two
years ago, on the completion of his
work he took steamer at Bornbasa, in
British East Africa for Liverpool
where he planned to resEip for New
York.
On the steamer he met a bonnie
lassie who had gone out from her
home in Scotland as governess for a
wealthy nobleman and had Travelled
extensively in the east. The Yankee
engineer was instantly smitten and
the subsequent events demonstrate
that the attraction was mutual. The
long voyage through the torrid seas
Suez Canal, usually tedious and I'M
comfortable was passed all too quick
1y and when the couple parted at
Liverpool the Scotch lassie had prom
ised to. grace a Yankee home. Miss
Clarke proceeded to her home in
Greenock and the disconsolate engfn-
eer took ship for New York. Since
that time there has been constant
correspondence. Arrangements were
made for the wedding while the bride
was on the ocean. She had sailed
from Glasgow on the Caledonia and
was fully prepared for the important
event.
The wedding was simple as beftted
the end of SO long a journey and
only the immediate friends and re1a-
tives of the happy couple were pres
emit. Mr.. and Mrs. w. J.. Watson
with whom the groom has made his
home for a long time were present.
The ceremony took place at $3.50 at
Christ church, Rev. DR.. N. Ellsworth
Cornwall officiating, and the bridal
party returned to the Watson home
in Devon where an elaborate wedding
breakfast was served Mr.. and Mrs.
Haynes left the same evening for an
extended tour through New England
On their return they will make their
home as far as possible in Devon
but the nature of Mr.. Haynes bust
ness forbids his locating permanently
il any place. Mrs. Haynes will &C
company him in his travels.
