He was not a gallant. He avoided the limelight. The marriage of Prince Oeorge and the princess was at the wish of Queen Victoria. The new King of England was known as the sailor prince. He went to ma while still a young boy, and has gone through every grade of the nary service. He has "'^cruised around the world and made a long trip in visiting all the British col onies in 1901. ^?-- ?
