" The First Greeting. II
Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans,
commander of the special squadron
and honorary aid to the prince, left
| the flagship Illinois at $40 o'clock
in the naval tug Nina. With him
Were Capt. g. A. Converse, his chief
of staff; Flag Lieut.. Frederick
| Chaplin, Ensign Frank I. Evans,
aid, and Capt. Won Rebeur-P aschwitz,
naval attache at the Washington en-
bassy of the German government.
They were all in full dress uniform.
The Nina met the Kronprinz beyond
Fort Wadsworth, and swinging
| around on the starboard side of the
liner, steamed up the bay. Prince
Henry, attired in the uniform OF an
admiral of the German navy and sur
rounded by his naval and military
staff in brilliant uniforms, stood on
the bridge of the liner, and as the tug
| drew nearer to the side of the steam
ship Prince Henry and Admiral Evans
| caught sight of each other and ex-
| changed informal salutes. The dis
| lance from steamer to tug was too
great for conversation, however. r.
Guns Boom q Welcome.
AS the two vessels, with fotilla
of tugs and official craft, moved in
past Fort Wadsworth the first of the
| salutes of 81 guns was fired. AS the
first gun sounded the prince ad-
! vanced to the end of the bridge of
the Kronprinz Wilhelm and stood at
attention.. AS he passed the big
American flag floating over the forth
fcations he touched his cap in salute,
and the members of his suite did
likewise. The flag at the jackstaf of
the Kronprfnz was dipped and the
German naval band accompanying
the prince played "The Star Spangled
Banner The guns of Fort Wads-
worth were not silent before those
across the narrows at Fort Hamil-
| ton doomed out their salute.
| "Fishting Bob" Cheered, Il
When that ceremony was over the
Kronprinz was stopped and the Nina
hauled around to her port side and
Admiral Evans and his staff boarded
her. The passengers were gathered
on the main deck and there was
hearty cheer as the admiral came up
the gangway. Admiral Evans was
escorted forward at once, and in the
quarters of Capt. A. Richter, master
of the Kronprinz, he and the prince
met. The prince came forward and,
taking the hand of the naval officer,
shook it warmly. - @.-@ $3.50

of his staff, and the prince gave each
a hearty handshake and cordial
word. The newspaper correspond

tions would be very happy. 4
