SEVEN YEARS APART
SAILOR AND SWEETHEART LONG DIVIDED BY SEA ADELAIDE, February 19. Seven years ago, Otto Jroanning, wireless officer of the motor-ship Astoria, said goodbye to his flaxen-haired sweetheart in Denmark, and promised he would return in the spring for the wedding. But. the Astoria has not touched Denmark since, and Otto is still a bachelor, and his fiancee is still waiting. Jroanning whose ship is at Port Adelaide, said to-day that he expects to be married “any time now, after June. ’ ’ The Astoria is to take wheat from Wallaroo to Shanghai, and return to Denmark, thus completing a maiden voyage, began seven years ago. Otto’s wedding will take place almost as soon as the motor-ship berths. Carl Skouby, youthful second mate of the Astoria, was married in an Adelaide registry office last week to Miss I. Cameron, of Melbourne. Skouby has cabled for the owners’ consent for his wife to travel in the Astoria. A. Jensen, another member of the ship’s company, has his wife, another Melbourne girl, on board.
