 Ia tall and very beautiful women en- tered. It was Queen Alexandra, but she didn't look at all like any of her
 pictures She is far better looking. Now, l hadn't expected to see the King, and to meet King and Queen both was trying ordeal. My face went more red than ever, l suppose, for l didn't know just the right thing to do.
 The Queen held out her hand, l walked to her, and, kneeling, bent over | it. Now, I knew better than to kiss { her hand for I had read something about that in books. I took her hand in mine and kissed the back of my own hand. Then the Queen raised me- as you might say"

The hrst news we had of it was a shout from a pilot boat. As soon as the news was understood all of the sailors-every man, nearly, a foreigner-fell down on their knees and prayed loudly that the president might be spared. It was a most impressive sight.
