Sultan and bride at full moon ending in unintended union
A British administrator recounts entertaining the sultan of Sulu and arranging a wedding between his house boy Alus and Canapa, a Malay girl. The full moon timing and his casual consent led Alus to marry Canapa a week later, with the couple and other witnesses unknowingly following local customs. The administrator realizes his bid for pomp failed as the union occurred by his own words.
