with half dozen great guns pohine
their noses from her barbettes, fore

as custom is, ran up her ensign with
salute of a single gun-that is, she in
tended to run up her ensign but what
broke out at the yank of the halya. ds
was none other than the double-heaHed
eagle of Russia. Nobody ON board no
ticed it for a moment, but what did at
tract their attention was, a puff Of
smoke from the Russians forward tur-
ret and almost before the boom of the
great gun had rolled TO them across the
water the Sbarboard turret roared a
second greeting. This was an excess OF
courtesy but surprise increased when
the midshp barbettes followed suit
and the big bow guns began again in
turn. In casting eyes over heaven and
earth to see what in the name Of ma
tons was the moving cause in this
cannonade the Yankee bluejackets saw
to their surprise, the Russian ensign,
which all automatically foated from
their own peak. 1t was plain that the
Russians were salutlng their own flag.
The salute was good but the surprise
was at so much of it. OF course the
American commander could not haul
down the friendly flag while the salute
was going on, so he kept it up. while
the Russians likewise kept uSkss-
cannonade. 1t lasted for over an hour
and every one had lost count of the
shots, but when it did finally cease. to

tors, the Russian admiraPs barge was
lowered away, filed with a miseellan-
eous load of gold lace and epaulets,
and came Swimming along across the
water. An excited load of Russian off,

which was courteously manned to re-
ceive them, though the object of their
coming was deep and shrouded mys-

American commander and his officers,

'rhood in a potpourri of French, Rus
