    (continued from previous page)
    of his body guard Morgan did not like the job of guarding the king. At last he tought of a plan to get out of the country. He told Fredrick that he had three brothers at home who were much biggar and fine men than any of the guard. The King allowed him home for his brothers. But when Morgan got home, he never went back to Prussia again. Every year on the anniversary of his escape he went up to the top of Brandon Hill and made a royal salute in the direction of Prussia.
