" No discomfort was too great, no function too many for him, even after much hard travelling, and he invariably endeavoured to extend every facility towards those who sought to honour him as the representative of the Sovereign. 220 LIFE OF ADMIRAL His personal influence was frequently shown by the difference in the people's demeanour upon his arrival and on his departure from towns which he visited on his official tours. His reputation had usually preceded him, and his reception was as a rule a...s warm as the Admiral could desire ; but if from any shyness or doubt as to how the Governor should be received a coolness or lack of enthusiasm made itself apparent on his arrival, no doubt remained as to the feelings of the people on his departure. This was entirely due to Sir Harry's manly and straightforward sim- plicity, his human sympathy with all sorts and conditions of men, and his consequent capacity for attracting people and making them feel at home in his company. " Gentlemen, " said one Mayor when proposing the toast of his health — " gentlemen, we have had a good many Governors among us, but we have never had such a hearty, uncouth old sea-dog as Sir Harry !" There could be no mistaking the sincerity and good feeling which prompted so extraordinary a compliment.
