, we imitated with much zeal the games of the old Romans, such as the throwing of the disk. We often used the round bottom of a barrel which, as it had sharp sides, frequently made jDainful cuts when it hap|)ened to run against the stick with which the adversary tried to turn the barrel bottom from its course. As we were allowed the use of some boats which lay in the harbour near a chalk factory in which my father was a partner, we often rowed about on the Oresund and made ex- cursions to the I...sle of Saltholm, which belonged to the chalk factory and where the chalk pits were. There we also practised our horsemanship on some old horses Avhich were bought every year to take the chalk to the ships, Avhich again conveyed it to the works. Helmuth found much pleasure in these amusements, and always was a skilful and bold rider over the dangerous ground cut up by many ditches. He used to ride on a pecu- liarly shaped saddle which Avas said to have been kept on the island since the time when Carl Gustav had besieged Copenhagen.
