Triple Christening at Sea.
The christening of three of five children of a woman passenger on the liner Rangitata was performed at sea by Archdeacon A. T. Robinsonr, of Rockhampton, Queensland. The liner arrived at Auckland from England the other day. In the course of the voyage the Archdeacon was asked if he would christen three of the five children of Mrs A. C. Wyatt. They were a girl, aged 14 years, a boy of nine, and a baby. The Archdeacon readily agreed and gave preliminary instruction to the two older children. The ceremony was performed last Tuesday when the liner was in mid-Paci-fic in a cabin made available specially for the occasion. The usual Anglican form of service was followed. The cabin was crowded with friends of Mrs Wyatt and her family. On her arrival yesterday Mrs Wyatt was met by her husband, who is employed in Auckland.
