Daughter Of W. Samoa

Marries Us Officer

MISS RUTH TURNBULL, daughter of the Administrator of Western Samoa (Mr. A. C. Turnbull) and Mrs. Turn bull, was married in February, in the United States, to Lieutenant R. W. Rob inson, of the United States Navy. Lieu tenant Robinson was on a destroyer in Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941, but came through the Japanese attack un scathed; and, subsequently, he was for a time in command of a naval air squad ron on the Central Pacific. In the course of his duties there, he met Mr. and Mrs Turnbull, and their pretty daughter—

with result as above. The good wishes of the Apia community go with the bride, into another sphere and another country.

Bad luck fell upon the Turnbull fam ily, with the departure of their daughter.

Mrs. Turnbull suffered a long spell of rather severe illness; while the Adminis trator recently completed five weeks in hospital. He was struck by a boulder, when out walking, and three toes were severed from his left foot. It was a bad accident—but Mr. Turnbull was really lucky, in the circumstances, that he did not receive even more serious injuries.
