sheer the sailor prince of Germany.
Tie great storm against which the

warm sunshine and CHEEKY blue skies,
80 there we're no regrets that the
royal guest was "A full day late for the
entertainment provided for him.
The genius Of Marconi reaching out
from the storm swept coast had def.
nitely located the belatcd liuer and
made certain the hour that she would
reach Sandy Hook. There was a cur

watchers caught the shadowy out
lines OF the cautiously approaching

admiSll OF the German navy and sur
rounded by ris naval and military
statf In brilliant uniform stol d on
the bridge of the liner. AS the
naval tug drew nearer to the side Of
the steamship, Prince Henry and
Admiral Evans caught sight Of each
other and exchanged informal salutes.
The distance from steamer to tug
was too great for conversation, how
ever. AS the two vessels with a
do6illa Of tugs and official craft moved
past Fort Wadsworth the first gun
sounded, the prince advanced to the
end Of the bridge Of the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm and stood at attention.
AS he passed the big American flag
over the Notifications he touched his

suite did likewise. The flag at the
iackstaff OF the Kron Prlnz was dip
ped and the German naval band
played "The Star Spangled Banner. 4"
The guns OF Fort Wadsworth were
not silent before those across the
Narrows at Fort Hamilton doomed
out their salute. When that cere-
mony was over the Kron Prinz was
stopped and the Nina hauled around
to her port side and Admiral Evans
and his staff boarded her. The pas
sengeTs were gathered on the main
deck and there was hearty cheer as
the admiral came up the gangway.

Kron Prinz, he and the prince met.
