but on several occasions. With the art.
list the Kaiser talked freely on all sorts
of subjects.
On the artists objecting TO the
newness of the hunting uniform which
his royal subject wore, the Kaiser re
piled impatiently: but | have not
any old clothes In my possession" The
Kaiser was quite free in his criticism

FISH STOPPED The LEAK.
New Sea story Brought to Port by the

10 get into the hold OF the ship until
she was placed on dry dock at Helsing-
fors, the following day. The fish were
handed over To Captain Hoist. after
they had been removed from the hole
and the captain had them cooked and
they formed the biggest part of the
breakfast for himself and his officers
on the morning of November I.
The Hellig Olaf arrived in port
few days ago. Captain Hoist was
asked about the report that had reach
ed this country 10 the effect that the
steamer had run aground on the way
over, denied this emphatically, but
said that on the night of November 3,
while passing near Kattegat. there was
a grounding sound. According 10 the
chart there ought 10 have been thirty
three feet of water at the spot, and
as the Hellig Olaf only draws twenty
three feet. the captain says. there must
be some rocks in the channel that are
not on the chart. An investigation
was made by the officers and crew and
IL was found that the ship was leak
ing badly. Sixteen feet OF water were
found 10 be in the hold. All the pas
sengers were ordered on deck and the
pumps set To work to pump out the
water. With full steam on, the cap
tain then made the run TO Copenhag-
en-. where il was discovered that the
ship was not leaking and that the
pumps had succeeded in getting most
Of the water out Of her. Divers dis
covered that a plate on the starhoard
side had been stove in, about six
inches. and that into this hole the
eels and the founder had been drawn.
