A NEW CHAPTER.

Since the first edition of Fight
ing Bob Evans great naval work,
%'RecolIections of Me" was pub
lished, some notable events have
taken place which necessitated a
new chapter in the next edition in
order to bring it up to date. Fight
ing Bob has accordingly prepared
such a chapter, and we have had
the proud privilege of inspecting
the advance sheets and making a
few extracts therefrom. The adj
ditional chapter is headed, "Prlnce
Henry's Visit to Me" and the fol-
lowing is condensation of it:
81 have in the body of this work
already described my reception by
Emperor William, and now | must
relate the sequel, namely, my re,
ception of Emperor Williams
brother, Henry. Ever since | de-
,stroyed the Spanish fleet at Santi-
AGO, | have found it hard to enter
tain myself. In order to occupy
my mind and preserve my remark
able career for the admiration of
posterity | have written this book.
When i had finished this task, l
was again without anything to do;
but much to my relief | learned
that my friend Emperor William
had determined to send his broth
,er over to see me. That reused

arations to entertain my guest
properly. 1t is all over now, and
! must say that never in my life
have | been accorded such a series
of ovations. | first gathered up a
fieet and sailed out to meet my
young friend. | wore full rear
admiraPs uniform and decorated
myself with medals. If | do say
it myself, | looked remarkably fit.
When | had secured my man, |
took him over to New York, and
made very nice trip into the in
terror. New York, Boston, Chi
cago, St. Louis, Philadelphia,
Louisville and other places united
to do me honor. AS the hero of
Santiago | naturally attracted a
great deal of attention. On the
trip | observed that photographers
were swarming over everything
trying to get snap shots of me;
and in order that my German
guest might not feel badly about
it, kept him near me so that he
might get into the pictures. felt
that there was Photographic glory
enough to go around, as | remark
ed of my phenomenal victory at
Santiago. | called on the Presi-
dent, who gave a magnificent and
select reception in my honor, and
/ was given the freedom of the
city by the distinguished officials
of each place | visited. l am glad
now that | undertook this trip. 1t
shows that the heart of my people
beats true to me. 1t was quite a
graceful courtesy on Emperor
Williams part to send Prince
Henry over to be one of my es-
cort. Henry is a cute boy, and |
the loan of him very
much. / am satisfied that my
tour, limited as it was, will be
productive of good results. Ger
many can hardly fail to be more
friendly toward me, and good
understanding between the emper
or and myself is a long step in the
direction of fraternity and peace.
1t seemed to me that my book
would be incomplete, if | did not
add this account of the spontane-
Gus outbursts of enthusiasm ac-
corded me by my admiring PEG,
