The Daily Mail’s Belgrade correspondent says the King’s party aboard the Nahliu includes Archie Compston, the famous professional golfer, who will accompany tho party througnout the cruise as trainer, using the deck for putting, pitching and even drives. There are 3000 golf balls aboard most of which it is anticipated will be lost overboard. Compston frequently tutored tho King in the past. There is also fishing tackle aboard. It is expected the King will enjoy bathing, fishing and sunbasking in the quiet inlets with which the coast abounds.
