From the latter place the ship will go to Gibraltar, Malta and the Mediterranean. It was planned at first to give Prince Albert + special cabin aboard the ship, but the King promptly vetoed this. He declared that his son must be treated as an ordinary cadet. For this reason he travelled from London with fifty or sixty other cadets, carrying his hammock and handling his own baggage. Bome of his comrades tried to screen the Prince from the camera won, but Albert told them \not to trouble themselves about it. f[oww:l;tâ€" aboard the ship in the most formal manner. Capt.
