WIDOW AND STEWARD
ROMANCE ON A LINER
DISCOVERY BY CAPTAIN
LONDON, 24th April. During (he world tour of the Belgeninml (27,000 tons), the commander, noticing Alfred Pierce, an English wine steward, conversing familiarly with Mrs Jean Nawn, a wealthy Californian widow, ordered Pierce’s removal from first-class to become assistant linenkeeper. Tt was then revealed that Pierce was already married to Airs Nawn, who had an income of £2OOO a year from a taxi corporation in which her late husband was interested.
She had become lonely, not knowing any of the passengers, and befriended Pierce.
Mrs Nawn was known as “the blue bride,” because of the colour of her dress. She walked the decks like a will o’ the wisp, and sent notes to her husband while he was working in the depths below. Pierce proposes to open a business in London.
