Fortescue In London Casino Dice Battle Aboard Kronprinzessin
In a crowded amok room Fortescue a tall ex cavalry officer known as Rolly to friends faced a dexterous dice hustler. The fight over a palm dice led to rapid gambling drama with a boxer style exchange and a near fight in a tense scene aboard the Kronprinzessin Cecille on a Bremen day. The episode ended with Fortescue challenging the chief gambler and a dramatic courtroom like moment as observers watched the concealed dice move and fortunes swing amid a fog of cigars and betting. Fortescue, noted as stepson of Theodore Roosevelt, had previously quit the army after a San Francisco clash, and this incident marks his bold return to a showy street game and a high risk gamble in a shipboard parlor.
