Show ALMOST TOO LATE. A Lever Races wltb a illg Steamer for a Mrlde. Qceenstown, Oct 23. The Cunarder service lost one of its passengers just as it was leaving the dock t'lis afternoon. The incident had a sufficiently romantic roman-tic flavor to ser.-e for state-rootn and steerage gossip during several hours. The parties most interested were Miss Kate Walsh, a pretty telegraphic operator opera-tor in Birmingham, who had embarked from Liverpool, and Mr., Feeley, who hails from the same city;'" Young Fee-ley Fee-ley has been very attentive to Mis Vt also for a long time, and was quite disconsolate when she left for America. After the steamer sailed yesterday he made uy his mind that he could not live without her. He resolved to overtake the steamer at Queeostowo. He boarded board-ed the Cunarder and found the pretty operator, whom he begged to go ashore and marry him. She consented, but said to her once bashful lover.-. "You should have asked me before, you were almost too late." |
