MR. DONALDSON'S FIANCE.

The Argus, Melbourne, Friday 31 March, 1911. 

ENGINEER'S SWEETHEART. 
SYDNEY - Thursday - A young woman
made anxious inquiries at the offices of
the Adelaide Steamship Company today
as to whether any news was at hand 
regarding the Yongala, or if any bodies
from the wreck had been washed ashore.
She explained that she was to have been
married to the second-engineer Mr. J. F.
Donaldson, on the return of the Yongala
from the northern trip.

Many such heart-wrenching stories brought home the human element of the disaster and the waste of life.
