Wedding
The 200-ton motor-vessel “Dareda” had a narrow es cape on March 22, when its engine tailed off Goff’s Har bour, NSW. The ship, which is run by the Australasian Petroleum Company, was on its way from Sydney to Papua.
Engine trouble forced her to shelter near Goff’s Harbour and heavy seas were forcing her onto the rocks when she was taken in tow by two launches.
On February 5, at St. John’s Church, Elsternwick, Victoria, Miss Joline Mary Moore, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Moore, was married to Mr. Laurence Francis Berg. The Rev. J. Jones, formerly of Vila, New Hebrides, performed the ceremony. The Moores are well known in Fiji, Joline represents the 3rd generation of the maternal side of her family to be born in the Colony. Mrs. Moore was a Miss Abbott, daughter of Mr. W.
Abbott, an early settler. Her mother (young Mrs. Berg’s grand mother) was also born in Fiji: Scouts and Cubs formed a guard in honour of the bride, who is their cubmaster.
