ferent boats occupied some time on account of
the smaness of the etty several Of the japanese sol
diers profted BY the delay to down and examine
US more closely. Many of our men strayed along the
beach picking up shells and pebbles as mementoes OF
tie visit In less tlan twenty minutes, however, all
were embarked, and we returned to the ships accom-
panied by the two japanese boats which had ploted
Us 10 the shore. Before twelve o'clock the anchors
were lifted and both vessels were under way on
cruise up the Bay.

YezaimOn, Saboroske, and the Interpreters accepted
IN invitation TO remain on board until We reached

They were conducted over tie ship and saw the en-
CINE from all points of view, betrayng great deal OF
curiosity in regard to its operation, but no fear. They
even obtained gimmerng idea OF the manner ln-%hch

TIopriety as among the most refined people
Willie going their rounds, their swords were left 10
tie cabin and most of the officers made OF the OPP
portunty to examine them. The steel was Of admira
bic quality, and kept in good condition, although the
shape of tie blade rather uuwieldy and the han
die was without a guard. The scabbards were made
Of shark skin very handsomely polished While in the
cabin globe was brought, and tie position OF tie
