Married as Ship Leaves Dock Here.
First Officer of Kallipe Takes Norwegian Bride.
Bride now Stewardess

Miss Astred Swende came from Norway to United States to become wife of Gunnar Gunderson. Couple now on way to South America-young woman acquired experience or job while aboard steamship from Christiania.

Soon after Norwegian windjammer Kalliepe left her dock yesterday and got well under way, Gunnar Gunderson, the first officer, and his fiancée, Astred Swende, of Christiania, Norway, who had come to Baltimore for the occasion, were married on shipboard.
News of the wedding was brought back to the dock by Boarding Officer Michael F. O'Donnell, of the Immigration Office, who witnessed the ceremony. The vessel is en route to South America and the bride, after her marriage to Gunderson, automatically became the stewardess.
Mis Swende came to the United States from Norway on the steamship Stavansford, and landed at New York. Later she came to Baltimore where, by arrangement, she met her husband-to-be at the office of the Commissioner of Immigration. On the trip from Norway the young woman occupied herself as a stewardess of the steamship and thereby acquired the experience necessary to her post in the sailing vessel.
