Spry. S3-year-old King Haakon Of Norway is
one of Euope's Oldest and most dignifed rulers,
but his solemn mien cracked wide open on one
occasion recently.
When Britain's Queen Elizabeth and Prince
Philip visited the King at Oslo the dock was lined
with distinguished spectators, admirals Of the
Norwegian Navy, the King and his suite. The
small craft carrying the royal couple approached
the dock.
Then il happened. A Norwegian sailor hoped
aboard the boat and tried to do two things at the
same time: steady the boat and salute the visitors
Result: an embarrassing splash.
Cold. wet and somewhat abashed, the uniucky
sailor was hauled ashore by couple Of gTinning
admirals. Queen Elizabeth smiled = and King
Haakon roared. It broke the tension and even
made the sailor feel better. Some day he can tell
his grandchildren about the day he made the
King laugh. - 3. ..
