By BLOWDEN DAVIES Since childhood His Majesty King George has had tho good old-fashioned habit of keeping a diary; While still a boy In his 'teens he joined the ranks of royal authors when the journals kept by himself and his brother, the young Duke of Clarence, were pub- lished after a long tour as middles In a naval vessel. Somo years ago these diaries of His Majesty's youth played a part In clear- ing up some points In dispute in the annals of Annapolis Royal In Nova Scotia. As a young man, then Prince CfOorge, ho and some friends left the ] ship to which they wore attached at Halifax and journeyed Inland for sport and pleasure. In addition to tho , prince there were In tho party Cap- ; tain Francis Durrant, Lieutenant the i Hem. S. Colvlllo, R.N. (now A.D.C. to the King), Paymaster Georgo A, F. C. Scales. They stayed three days In Annapolis In what Is now lllllsdalo House, went fishing In nearby rivers, drove to neighboring towns and Inves- tlgated tho ruined and deserted fort, ahaiidonod thirty years previously by British troops. During their stay tho young officers had their afternoon tea, English fash- ion, at Millsdule House. Tho hostess was famous for her cooking, and was ] notable even among tho excellent Nova Scotlan housewives. And tho ' scones sho served them were without j doubt (he best her hands could turn j out. Sixteen years later. In 19(U), ! Lieut. Colvllle returned, as Capt. Col- I vlUe, Commander of H.M.S. Crescent, i accompanied by another party of naval , otllcors.
