MAROVO, Sol. Is., January 1.
QUITE a new departure from the usual at tractions for the tourists was provided when the Mataram, with flags flying, came to anchor in Rendova, Western Solomon Islands, on November 28. The occasion was the mar riage of Miss Mae Simon, of Auburn, Sydney, and Mr. Richard Fuller, manager of Kenelo Plantations, Gizo.
The ceremony took place on board, in the flag decorated lounge, in the presence of pas sengers and many local friends of the bride groom. Mr. Sydney Marks acted as best man.
The Rev. J. F. Goldie officiated, and the bride was given away by Mr. J. Sims, Lever Bros, inspector for the western end of the Solo mons.
The bride looked charming in a shell pink lace frock, wearing a hat to tone. A fellow passenger of the bride. Miss Desmond Atkin son, acted as bridesmaid.
A wedding breakfast was afterwards served in the dining saloon, the chef and stewards surpassing themselves in their efforts to make everything a complete success. The happy couple afterwards departed to their home on Kenelo plantation, about five miles from Rendova, where many friends congregated to give the bride a welcome home.
