ENTERPRISE IN STORM
COMES THROUGH SAFELY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, December 10. (Received December 11, at 1,30 p.m.) The last stages of the Enterprise’s voyage were exceptionally rough, the cruiser shipping largo quantities of water. The journey was so difficult that the commander asked the Prime if he wished to continue through the storm. “ Yes, go ahead,’’ the Prince replied. As the Enterprise entered Brindisi Harbour she gave the customary twenty-one guns salute, which was returned From the fort battery. The Prince, dressed half in tropical and half in European dross, returned the Fascist salute with a military one. He looked well, but there was no characteristic smile in acknowledgment of the greetings. Despite the rain a largo crowd watched him cross from tho cruiser to the train. One hundred Italian sailors and a company of infantry and air force men lined tho short route, but, at the Prince’s request, there were no military honours. He went straight to his carriage, and did not appear at tho window. The train left barely five minutes after his arrival.—Australian Press Association.
