King Christian's rescue of a drowning sailor near Copenhagen recalls another incident of some year ago. Cruising off the Danish coast in his yacht Rita, the King was startled by a sound of firearms. A motor launch was lowered from the yacht, and the drowning girl was hauled aboard this by the King himself. His Majesty then espied in the offering a boat with a huge camera, and at once guessed that he had been acting for the benefit of a cinematograph operator. After his first feeling of annoyance, the King saw the humour of the situation, and gave permission for the film to be exhibited.
