with flags and bunting. hoisted anchors
and steamed up the bay. As the start

the crest of the infanta's family. The
barge drew up alongside and the infanta
was helped out by Lieutenant Bangor.
The marines and sailors were drawn uD
in nautical array and the officers stood

the nearest officer and for few moments
engaged in an animated conversation
with the naval contingent.
Commander Davis soon led her away to
the saloon, where the remainder of the
royal party were made known to the
