transformation. The dusk had gathered until

To reach the Illinois from the tug launch
was necessary, and the tide was running
swiftly and the drifting ice was plenty there
was some fear on the part OF those on the tug
that the royal visitor might meet with some
mishap in boarding the battleship. The Prince
smiled at the suggestion. and. as agile as any
tar. leaped lightly into the launch while II was
popbng up and down with the waves. Admiral
Evans made a similar leap AT the outer end
