AUCKLAND GIRLS ROMANTIC DASH
[Per Press Associatioii. Copyright.'] AUCKLAND, This Day.
“Oh, those reporters,” said Miss Miliicent Fisher, of Auckland, when questioned on the arrival of the Monterey this morning concerning a Sydney cable, in which she was the central figure in a dash to catch the Tasman liner in order that she might take advantage of “the cabled invitation to marry an Auckland business man.” “That’s quite enough,” said Miss Fisher, who is young, attractive and reticent. She declined to announce the name of the business man concerned. She admitted that it had been quite a rush to catch the ship. Miss Fisher had been holidaying for some time in Australia, and left Melbourne for Sydney on the Manoora, the captain of which, because of the cable she had received, speeded up his vessel to reach Sydney with half an hour to spare.
Miss Fisher was among the first passengers to leave the ship in Auckland, and in the Customs shed joined a group of waiting friends, but of the man who might have looked the male lead, in this romantic story there was no sign.
