A HAWAIIAN ROMANCE
RUNAWAY MARRIAGE ARRIVALS BY THE AORANGI. [ Per Press Association. ] AUCKLAND!! March 26. Romance surrounds two arrivals by the Aorangi—Mr Basil Stanley, aged 32, university football coach, and his wifie, formerly Mias Evelyn Anderson, aged 23, daughter of a wealthy retired sugar planter at Honolulu, who made a runaway match owing to the opposition of the lady’s parents.
When they left Honolulu they had only 140 dollars together and so Mr Stanley elected to have his wife treated as a passenger and himself as a stowaway. On arrival at Auckland they were questioned by the police, who decided that the matter concerned the shipping company, and put them on board again. Probably they will be taken on to Sydney and thence back to Honolulu, as neither has a passport. They agree they are taking the postgraduate course in the university of hard knocks.
