the torch-bearing veterans will be
several hundred OF the pick of the Chi

flash out along the line always just in
advance of the procession, dying out
as it has passed.

the idea was abandoned owing to a
politely conveyed intimation that the
time would be too short
When the steamer left the harbor
Prince Henry, who was on the naviga-
ton bridge, repeatedly removed his cap
and waved farewell to those on the
quay. Then the band of the Second
Marine Division, which accompanies
the Prince. played the German national
anthem, following it with Rule Bri-
tannia,' the strains of which gradually
faded as the vessel dropped down
Southampton water.
During the trip from Bremen the
Kronprinz Wilhelm communicated
with the North Foreland station by
means of wireless telegraphy. Prince
Henry sent six messages. which were
retransmitted from Ramsgate. one
being to his wife and another to EN-
peror Wilhelm. He subsequently sent
messages by way of the Isle of Wight

sired that an attempt be made to keep
in touch with the steamer throughout
the voyage and everything has been
prepared to carry out his desire.
