A FUTURE icING OF ENGLAND.
4. Sketen of the Prince or Wales's Veer—
• His leife in the Navy.
George III was born at Norfolk House,
St. James's Square, in 1738 ; Prince George
of Wales first saw the light within almost a
stone's throw of the same place, it elarl-
borough House in 1865. As a by he present-
ed in nearly every respect a markedcontrast
to his elder brother the late Duke of Clar-
ence, who was his senior by just seventeen
months. In appettranee the one was pale,
pensive, retiring, but with a singular grace
of manner and deportment that never after-
wards forsook him ; the other was ruchly of
countenance, full a brightness and brusque
vivacity. The features of the elder were
finely cut, M close resemblance to those el
his father at the same early age. Priece
George, on the other hand, bore a striking
likeness to the Princess of Wales's sister,
the Princess Dtgmar, the preseut Empress
of Russia, not only in the general form and
cast of countenance, but also in detail of
feature and expression.
For the first eighteen years of his life he
was the inseparable companion of his broth-
er ; and prebably -there have rarely, if
ever, been two brothers that were more at-
tached to each other than these two. Each
seemed to find in theother the complement of
hie own individual characteristics, There
is no doubt that the quick liveliness of
Prince George acted as a constant and wel-
come stimulus both in work and play hours
to the more lymphatic temperament of his
brother. While that brother's quiet staid-
ness often served as a counterpoise tc the
younger's impulsive decisiveness. Were
they following the hounds together as boys,
it was Prince George whose pony had to
take the fence or hedge the first, and give
Prince Eddy the lead ' • were they bathing
together hi the sea, itwas Prince George
who was the first to leap off the ship or
yetch's side into the water, and not till he
was swimming around and encouraging his
brother to follow hirn did the elder Mete the
inevitable plunge. In many ways the elder
constantly leant upon the younger brother;
end the younger reciprooated the confidence
with warm-hearted manliness and devotion.
The brothers entered the Navy • together
as cadets, on the 5th of june, 1877. The reg.
elation limit of age within wbich boys
must enter ie twelve years on the one side,
and thirteen and a half years on the other.
Prince Eddy was within three days of the
meximuni, and Prince George bad only
passed the minimum by two days. Be was
probably the youngest cadet that ever join-
ed tbeBritannia. The late Professer Drew,
of King'sCollege, Loudon (whose experience
of boys and young men was perhaps as large
as any teacher's), had previously superin-
tended the mathematical iustruotion of the
brothers, and often expressed himself as
much struck by Prince George's ability and
intelligence, and regretted that he would
not be able to prosecute his inathematical
studies at either of the Universities, and
carry them beyond the standard exacted
by naval requirements. The two year's life

two Princes made their well-known three

The Duke of Edinburgh was now Admiral
Coinniander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean ;
and Prince George was next appointed to
hisCagship, the Alexandra, 20th ,April,
With the Duke he went on a state visit to
the present Sultan at Constantinople; and
during the three years that he served on the
Mediterranean station be visited for a
second or third time his uncle, the King of
the Hellenes, at Athens, renewed his ac-
quaintance with the late Khedive Tewffic at
()taro, besides cruising at, various times off
•the coast of Asia Minor, Syria, and the
islands of the Aegean. The Mediterranean
squadron is usually coneidered the beet
school tor the training of young officers, in-
asmuch as there are always a larger number
of first-rate men of war on that etation than
on any other'replete with the very latest
improvements in gunnery and torpedoes.
Since, too, the ships are constantly exorcis-
ing in uompany under tits:admiral's eye, and
liable to meet in friendly rivalry from time
to thee some of the model squadrons of the
French and Italian navies, the natural con-
sequence is that all are kept in the very
highest state of drill discipline and effi-
ciency.
At the end of three years of very success-
ful service in the Mediterranean, which had
been full of much instructive discipline for
him, Prince George returned to England,
and volunteered for another course of gun-
nery training on board H. M. S. Excellent
at. Portsmouth. Having undergone this, he
was appointed 1st February, 1889, to the
Northumberland, Captain Darwin, the flag-
ship of the Channel Squadron under the
command. of Vice•Admiral Baird. He took
an active part in the naval manoeuvres that
summer, and was placed in charge of one of
the finest of the torpedo boats.

she joined the squadron under the command
It happened that another of these craft,
disabled her screw off the coast of Ireland,
and was in danger of drifting onto a lee
shore. The sea was running high, and. there
was a stiff gale blowing. Prince George was
sent to her assistance. The task was a most
difficult one, owing to the delica,te nature of
the construction of such boats, Ho showed,
however, such skill, judgment and nerve in
approaching, securieg with wire hawser
after several hourseffort, and ultimately
towing the disabled craft into safety, as won
him high encomiums of praise to the Admir-
alty from CaptainFitzgerald and other senior
officers who witnessed his conduct on that
occasion. The achievement was perhaps all
the more noteworthy as Prince George (like
Nelson and many another distinguished
naval officer) suffers terribly from sea -sick-
ness ; and the behavior of a torpedo boat in
rough weather is not the most conducive to
quietness of nerve or for comfortably collect-
ing the thoughts.
As ne had. now unmista.kably given evi-
deuce of exceptional capability as lieutenant,
the Admiralty ordered him, on 6th May,
1890, to commission the Thrush, a large
gunboat of 805 tons burthert and 1,200 horse-
power, at Chatham for service on the North
American and West Indian stations. Such
independent commands are usually giren ixo
senior lieutenants only but it Was a distinc-
tion which Prince George had well earned.
He had further the ticklish task assigned
to him of towing a torpedo boat astern
across the Atlantic to Berinuda. This, too,
be successfully accomplished. His profes-
sional duties took him to various places in
the Canadian Dominion and to one or two
cm the United. States seaboard.
In the following autumn he was deputed
by the Queen as her representative to open
the Industrial Exhibition at Jainaica. This
was his third visit to the West Lichee, and
his presence awakened among the inbabi.
tants of every degree even more than the
usual fervent demonstrations of loyalty to
the Crown, and attachment to the United

as this vratrie Jamaica, Prince George al-
ways deprecated the necessity of being re-
ceived with royal honors.
It was with no desire to avoid performing
any real portion of his duty thathe request-
ed the admiral in command of the station,
Sir George Watson, that he might receive
bis sanction to be treated simply as an or-
dinary naval officer. As soon as this wish
became generally known he was enabled to

shi was dispatched more naturally,

Ailed his horizon. Though he has sinoe then
assured eeveral naval friends that he has no
intention whatever of severing his connec-
tion with the service, hte love for which is
as sincere and intense as ever, yet other dm
ties will now inevitably demand a large
share of his time and attention. At present
all eyes are directed toward him, and curi-
osity is excited as to wha,t he will de, and
whom he will marry. It is probable, how-
ever, that like his brother he will through
the exigencies of his position come to be
known by the people of these islands at large
only gradually and slowly.. But judging
front the impression which he has made
upon all who have bad intercourse with him,
what that appreciation will ultimately be

The Thrush was now required on the
West Coast of Africa, and her place was to
be taken on the North American station by
a ship of greater power and tonnage. She
was therefore ordered home to England.
On arriving there Prince George was pro.
meted to the rank of commander,on the 24th
August, 189]. He was then in his twenty-
seventh year, and the fifteenth ot his naval
service.
There are, among living naval officers,
many who when promoted to be command-
ers were younger in years and had less length
of service than Prince George. Sir Thomas
Symonds was a commander before he was
twenty-five, Sir Alexander Milne when he
was twenty-four, Sir GeoffrYllornby when
he was twenty-five, Admiral Hothem when
he was twenty-three. The Duke of Edin-
burgh became an admiral when he was
thirty-four. He was never a sub -lieutenant
at all, but was promoted at once from mid-
shipman's rank to that of lieutenant. He
also skipped over the rank of commander
altogether, and went straight from lieuten-
ant to postmaptain before he was twenty-
two. It is believed that the Duke Low re-
grets the rapidity of his early advance in
the service; though those who know what
an excellent officer he has shown himself,
and how capable an organizer and tactician,
must acknowledge that he has proved him-
self worthy of the honors conferred upon
him.
After his return to England Prince George
went in the autumn of 1891 to stay with the
Duke of Clarence at Dublin; and the two
111 their duties and get on, he was ever ready brothers were once more happy in the mu -
to encourage by word and sympathy and
helping hand. Because he knows his work
thoroughlywell, and ie himself practically able
to do each thing he requires of them,bis men
have thorough confidence in him, well aware
sides visitingma.nv other places in the
Dominion an North America, he ascended
the St. Lawrence in her, by Quebec, as far
as Montreal. Lord Lorne was at that time
Governor-General of Canada, and Princess
Louise was with him at Ottawa.
During the ensuing winter the Canada
cruised among the West Indian Islands and
visited Demerara and British Guiana.
Shortly after this Prince George became
the senior midshipman in the service, and
.was waiting till his age allowed him to pre-
sent himself for his examination as sub-
lieutenant. This he did on the earliest day
possible, namely his nineteenth birthday,
3d June, 1884, when be obtained.a first class
in seamanship. On corning home he at once
joined, as all sub -lieutenants have to do, the
Naval Coffee at Greenwich, for further in-
struction,ana subsequently H. M. S. Excel-
lent at Portsmouth. Naturally lie went
through the course exactly like anybody
else. Every sub -lieutenant has to pass five
examinations, one each in seamanship, in
navigation in torpedo, in gunnery, and in
pilotage. 'In four of these Prince George
achieved the unusual distinction of obtain-
ing a first class, and thus won his promotion
to lieutenant's rank, 8th October, 1885,
From his earliest days at sea he has ever
been a thoroughly efficient and also a most
popular officer, not only with his comrades
in the gun -room or themard-roona, but also
with all the men over whom he has had com-
mand.," As a midshipman he was always
keen to do all in his power to render the
boat's crew or the gun entrusted to his
charge the smartest and best -handled in the
ship; as a lieutenant he was always alive
to all the individual characters of the men

years had made a study of the murder sta-

"According to him there were4,290 mur-

1890 and 5,906 during 1891, a substantial
increase of 1,616. He had divided the

the influence of liquor numbered 486 in 1890
and 877 in 1891, and it was pointed out
that the so-called prohibition cities furnish-
ed more murders in proportion to their
populations than did the non -prohibition
places. Murders conamitted by unknown
persons for unknown reasons footed up
464 and 859. The infanticide cases
of the two years numbered 167 and
208 and the persons killed while resisting
arrest 149 and 182. Insane persons killed
were 59 and 102 respectively during the two
years. In 1890 there were 102 execimions
and the number last year went up to 123."
True Greatness.
In the sight of God, says Charming, true
greatness does eot depend on the extent of
effect that may be produced, but on the mo-
tive and the power of virtue in the soul—in
the fidelity with which duty is performed,
and the spirit in which difficulties are met,
and trials are borne, and goodness and love
are diligeutly pursued.
