PRINCE’S AFRICAN TOUR
SIMPLICITY ON BOARD SHIP
BIG GAME HUNTING INTENDED
SHORT STAY - AT CAPETOWN
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, Dec. 28. When the Prince of Wales embarks on the Kenilworth Castle on January 3 to renew the African tour interrupted by the King's illness last year, he will, at his own wish, travel as an ordinary passenger and take his meals in the dining saloon with other passengers. The only privilege will be the merging of two cabins on the promenade deck to make a private sittingroom from which he will step direct on to the deck for daily exercise. The Prince invariably takes this simplicity, which compares more than favourably with the fuss and attention demanded by many millionaires who are trans-Atlantic travellers for only a few days’ voyage, or with the elaborate suites demanded by many Indian potentates. Big game hunting will be an important part of the Prince’s six-week tour. He will stay a few days at Government House at Cape Town, and thence will go inland. He has expressed his wish to secure rhinoceros, lion and buffalo.
