Foreign News: Duke Stung
Tangy whitecaps snickered and huge rollers boomed sea-mirth, last week, as H. M. S. Renown hove to off Las Palmas in the Canary Islands and the Duke and Duchess of York prepared to land amid a heavy sea in the frail royal motor barge.
Good sports, Their Royal Highnesses laughingly took a thorough sousing. A tennis party followed on shore, then tea at which the Duke plucked a ripe orange from a nearby tree and ate it, remarking at the stinging taste experienced on biting into ripe orange peel Finally the royal party were sprayed again as they put-putted two miles out to the Renown which promptly up-anchored for the Panama Canal and Australia (TIME. Jan. 17).
