WHAT HAPPENS AT SEA.
THREE BROKEN ROMANCES. " MORE IDEAL MEN " FOUND. Several bows and live arrows were broken by Cupid on tho voyage of the steamer Esperance Bay, which arrived at Sydney last week from England with immigrants. On the whole, tho trip was uneventful—except for some sickness—but several love affairs had their turbulent moments.
Glamorous tropic moons and sea air culminated in the announcement of two engagements before the ship reached Australia. The same sea air, however, had a devastating effect on three young English girls, who were coming out to marry their chosen Australian husbands. Alas, the romances were shattered! Cupid s aim was -unerring. The three lassies found more ideal men on the boat. A Sydney paper says:—"This sort of thing happens on nearly every Voyage of tho Esperance Bay. It will soon be called the 'love ship.' Something ought to bo done about it."
