These things make a difference.
Therefore, today Henry Edward
pellew is acclaimed to the world the
Sixth Viscount of Exmouth and oc-
eupant Of the peculiar dual role of
citizen of the United States and Of
the United Kingdom.
And it was all through one of
those unexpected tricks Of fate that
the succession to title more than
one hundred years old thus was
vested with an American family.
Strange to relate, the surprise at
tending the announcement was as
complete to the new Viscount as to
any one else. He and his family
knew, Of course, that he was the
heir. He, least of all, thought the
vscountcy would ever come to him.
. BE had already lived far beyond his
threescore and ten. The fifth Wis.,
count was only in his thirties, just
out Of the great war and apparently
IN the vigor of good health.
Henry Edward Pellew really aban-
doned any idea or hope he might
have ever had Of becoming Viscount
Exmouth-and his most intimate
companions do not recall hearing
him mention the subject-when In
1873 at the age of forty-five he
came to the United States and i'm
mediately took steps to receive nat
uralization as an American citizen.
Romance played a part in turning
bis steps this way.
