ISLAND ROMANCE
TOLD BY RADIOGRAPH London, October 11. A little romance is behind a radiograph from Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, received by a Dumfries shipping agent: “Married, October 8, 1927. —Hunter.” Eighteen months ago Robert Hunter, who is exiled in a remote part of the Falklands, wrote to the shipping agent to ask him to find a wife, stating: “It is lonelv, but she will get used to it.’ The shipping agent put a notice in his window, to which many lassies were attracted. Eventually the choice fell on a widow living alone in apartments. Negotiations were protracted, owing to there being only two mails a tear. To-day’s cable was the climax.
