Henry of Prussia Evidently One o
Those Leaders Who Do Not Say
"Go!" but "Come!"
P'rince Henry of Prussia is an ar

but he is lnown among the l lulejac!;
ets as a great martinet, and thoy foal
rather than love him. The followinm
story is typical of his methods,. ai,:
shows that, although he expec:ts those
tnder his command to put up with all
kinds of hardships, he is by no imena,,
above "roughing it" himself.
One day, when he was on board a
warship in the North sea. lie suddenly
gave the order, "All hands to bathe!"
It was a bitterly cold (lay and the
water was like ice. The order was so
evidently distasteful that one of the
officers ventured to make a mild pro
test to the prince. Without answering
him a single word, Prince llenry, al
though fully clothed, sprang over the
vessel's side, swamn o!t a good dis
tance in the icy water, and returned
to the deck dripping from head to
foot.
After that, the sailors took their
bath without demur.
