"Queen Of The Galapagos."
Guayaquil, Ecuador-The first vieture to be published of the Baroness Eloisna Bousquet de Wagner, self-styled "Queen of the Galapagos" about whose life another weird chapter has recently been told. The Baroness arrived at Guayaquil about two years make "scientific" ago and requested, and received, permission to experimenta on Floreana Taland, one of the Galapagos group. Since then nothing has been heard of her since November 24 when a young couple, Pablo Rolando and his bride the former Blanca Rosa Fernandez landed here after having been rescued from an open bout in which they were drifting, without food or shelter, Rolando told how he and his wife were passengers on Д honeymoon
trip aboard the yacht "Santa Rosa" when the vessel was overtaken and wrecked by storm, when off the Galapagos. The Rolandos took to a bont and were finally washed up on the beach of Floreana Island. As they ascended the beach, Rolando Boys, members of the "Queen" strange court, consisting of European men, well-dressed and heavily armed came running down to meet them, Rolando, his wife and three sailors were tied hand and foot, jailed by order of the Baroness and then cast off the island to drift to their death in an open craft, without water or food, Luckily they were picked up by the clipper ship "Fortune" which brought them to Guayaquil.
