WHEN A FARMER THRASHED THE KING
THE KING SAID "I DESERVED IT, TOO" Johannesburg, Sept. 10. A STORY of how an
old Dutch farmer once saved the King from serious injury and thrashed him with a whip-is told by a cor- respondent to a Johan- nesburg newspaper.
The farmer arranged a shoot- ing trip for naval cndets from the Cape. The cadets included the King, then fourteen-year-old Prince George, and his brother the Duke of Clarence.
The party set off in i mule wagon, and the farmer gave instructions that nobody should shoot without his permission.
The Princo Fell Off Suddenly buck appeared, and Prince George, forgetting what the farmer had said, fred.
The mules jumped, the wagon jolted, and the boy Prince fell off. The farmer just managed to turn the wagon nside' so that the back wheel missed the Prince.
Then, beside himself with anger the old man advanced on the sprawling boy and struck him with his whip.
The hunt continued, and the in-. cident was forgotten in the excite. ment of a good day's shooting.
Years later Prince George, then Prince of Wales, visited South Africa again. He gave a luncheon to the old farmer and introduced him to the Princess of Wales (Queen Mary) as "the only hinn who ever thrashed British Prince,"
"And," said the Prince, "a better and more deserved spanking no king's son ever had."
