Stranded on St. Lucia

A lovely young lady boarded a banana ship in Liverpool for passage back to St. Lucia.

She fell instantly in love with an officer and two months later the two were engaged.

She needed him at her side, but he wanted to become a captain and they had to break up.

Then, one day at sea he fell victim to a dangerous illness and was moved to

the nearest hospital ……on St. Lucia.
