A wireless message from the liner Malda, on which the Prince of Wale? and his brother, the Duke of Gloucester, are voyaging to East, Africa, says that, despite the sweltering heat, necessitating the vessel steaming in a circle to permit the following wind to sweep the decks, the Princes are resolutely exercising daily. Both joined 30 men and women passengers in a small canvas swimming pool, and were amongst the most active in a battle with hoses supplying the tank, also delightedly hosing a number of child bathers.
