Berlin and Mackay Tie Knot Honeymoon Trek
Irving Berlin, Broadway's Prince of Jazz, and heiress Ellin Mackay wed at City Hall then slipped to anonymity. They journey from New York to a presidential suite on Leviathan with a $5,000 rate, planning a time abroad.

The couple's hush hush wedding caused surprise to Berlin's father and to society and they began a cloistered honeymoon at Atlantic City before resuming high society life.

Monkey Meat Dining In Jungle River Adventure
A report recounts Miss Ford and companions crossing the Andes by mule from Cram La Paz and navigating the Beni river in a dug out canoe. They faced gnats and mosquitoes, provisions ran short, and they survived on rice, coarse sugar, turtle eggs, and monkey meat described as tasting like rabbit. They saw crocodiles, met two savage Indian tribes, and noted some villages closer to cities were fairly civilized. The 60 mile three month trek included Roosevelt's River of Doubt route and ended with tribulations and discoveries along the Amazon.
