A prince can be 1blessod well· sc·old·ed, though, and he was on more than one occasion. The office.rs attached to his party when he goes! ~ travelUnig can be depended· on to kee·p him ln bounds. One or two of· his pa.rticular pals are always .with him and .they ussually manage to stir up quite a kettle of trouble.

U.nUke the av·erage staff captain, however, he waf;\ pe·rmitted to attend the meeting·s of the)nnermost general staff. He was not encouraged to say anything at .these me·etlngis, though any.thing be did not understand was explained to .him and if '.110 felt he had a ·really valuable suggesti.on he might make it ...... The rest of the time he was just a captain, subject to a1bout the same treatment th1l}t other staff capW.ins were.

A DAY. OF R·EST. .....

The day was in certruln respects one of rest for the Prince o~ W~les, his off~c'iirul arrivail tn H1alif1ax no1t being s-chedqled un.. / Hl this 1nor11dng. M night the baittleships in the iharbor were b~lUiantly illwmtniruted. 'Dhe occasion wais one long to be re .. 1nembered, surpaissin,g in effect the arrlvnils of prevdous pros-

pectiv·e rulers. The scene when the Dragon steamed up the · harbor,

bearing its pt'eclous cargo, was extremely beautiful. The Swbbath had dawned grey, with an omnlpresenit threat of rain. Those in. charge ot today's ceremony were overwhelmed w~th pessimism; decorators wept over thedr streamers of bunting, apparently doomed to premature fading; but with, the sonor-ous booming of the guns from the Citadel, there seen1ed to

\ come a change, a. seoond dawning, a dawning of sunlight and . good clheer. The western sky was still heaped high with

grey-white cloud banks, but here and there wer~ steadily· widening rifts of blue. Towards the eastward honzo11 ~vaa a low-hanging ~t of purest saphire. Against i·t the hill$ of

... . ,

D~tmouth stood out in clear relief and the sunbeams brought out the in.finditely varied hues of n1eadowland, forest, and dwelling place. From the lofty smokestacks of the factories,

· spirals of s1moke w&"'e delicately smudged into the baclt-ground. \

THE SCENE ON THE HARBOR.

''.Phe surface of the harbor was like a oloth of blue dan1ask, dhnrpling h.ere and there where a squall rustled across it. The

i shadows of the clouds darkened it here and there. White sails I ,

flashed in vagm,nJt patches of sunlight. The Dragon. steamed swiftly forward, iridescent spray foan1ing where her bows clove the water. The awnings on her after deck were remin .. ' . . iscent of the state barges of yesterd,ay's lonig gone by. Close

. behind .f0Howe1d the Dauntless, a .watchful guardian. As she passed the Conte di Covour, the great armament. of the Italian vessel sp~ang into action; a sharp. flare of fia1ne, a puff of crean1y smoke, then a detonation audible over the entire city. This was repeated for twenty-one times. The guns fron1 the C~tadel had been silenced for some minutes. A choir of horns and slrena arose in response, but very pianissimo. The full rea;]isation of the Prin,ce's arrival had app,arently failed to dawn .upon the City. .. ' At half-past ten the Dragon came to an1cb.orage nudway between Woodside and the spot where the Renown lay moor-ed. H1is Royal Il1ghness was taken on boa;rd a cutJter and fif-teen mtnurtes later· was upon the Rernorwn, which will be his headqua.1,ters during his stay in Halifax. As his bo1at touched .the companionway, the Sove,l"ei.gn Ensign was hoisted.

A spectaicular acco.nl1Pandment to the arrival . of the ship carrying 1fue Prince of Wales was the 1nanoeuvres of a sea-

LON(~ LIVE THE PRINCE NOV A .SCOT!~ welcomes today His Royal High-

ness .the Prince of Wales, Heir to the Throne . of Great Britain and the Dominions Beyond the

. .. ~ . - . ~ '111\ : "'" "'" His Royal Highness will see only a small. portion of the fair Pro-

. vince of Nova Scotia, but the multitude who will acclaim him today ·will be· representative of every portion of it. From far and near the clans of New Scotland have assembled to salute their youthful ·chieftain and to bid him God-speed on his event-ful journey. · Their hearts render homage to their youthful guest, who represents in his person the accomplishments, the in-stitutions and the traditions of the British race. That his so-journ in the Dominion and in the· neighboring republic may strengthen the bonds uniting the great English-speaking nations· is the earnest prayer of eyery Nova Scotian.
