 VICE-ADMIRAL H,S.H. COUNT GLEICHEN.

IS SERENE HIGHNESS PRINCE VICTOR
FERDINAND FRANZ EUGEN GUSTAF
ADOLPH CONSTANTIN FRIEDRICH OF
HOHENLOHE~LANGENBURG, is better known
in England as Count Gleichen and as the Queen’s
nephew. Born fifty years ago, he was sent to school at
Dresden; but at the age of fourteen he conceived ideas
not to be bounded within the confines of the small life
of a German principality. So he ran away from school
to go to sea, and his aunt the Queen of England being
informed of the fact, proposed to her sister to let her
adventurous nephew become naturalised as an English-
man and enter the English Navy. This was accordingly
done, and Prince Victor, as he was then called, was
appointed to the Powerful, on the Mediterranean Station,
in 1848. He served in the Crimean War and in the opera-
tions in China, he proved a popular officer and a good
sailor—man, and was three times wounded in battle.

In 1861 he married the daughter of Admiral Sir George

Seymour, sister of the fifth Marquis of Hertford,

on which occasion it was that he put down his title of
Prince and took up for future use that of Count. He
became in due course a Vice-Admiral, and in the mean-
time he had also become a sculptor. It is in the latter
art that he now mainly busies himself, and he has
created many pleasing busts of his royal relatives and
some works of greater pretensions than family portraits.
An Alfred the Great, a Beaconsfield, and a Prince
Imperial have issued" from his studio, and he is now
engaged on a bust of Miss Mary Anderson. The Count
is, as becomes a sailor, frank and outspoken; he is
well—known and popular, and the Governor of Windsor

Castle.
