These medals commemorate the dangers and difficulties to
which the King had been exposed. After a very stormy voyage
he got into a small boat, but the waves were so boisterous, and
there was such an accumulation of ice, that he was exposed

for nearly twenty-four hours. He was received with great joy
at the Hague, and he, who had thus been preserved, was hailed
as the preserver of his people.

is the same as No. 62, Vol. I. p. 687, and the reverse is copied
from the medal by Koene, No. 179, p. 14. The legend consists
of the words addressed by Csesar to his terrified companions
on his attempted passage from Otranto to Brindisi. William
similarly addressed his companions— “ How ! ” said he, “ should
