landing, hundred feet East Riverward.
There Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Longworth
were discovered by some Of the revenue
Gutter men and steered into the iron gate
next to the Barge Office and down to the
revenue cutter landing.
Deputy Collector Williams and Capt.
Newcomb of the revenue cutter service
took charge of Miss Roosevelt and Mr..

Bradley explained TO her everything visi-

Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse the polite
Germans wanted TO have Miss Alice come
aboard by the companionway, as prin.
cesses on potentates do. She waived the

was good enough for her. Mr.. Longworth
was as anxious TO dispense with quarter

sea ladder was lowered from the deck
down the port side OF the lofty liner, aft.
Mr.. Longworth's sister was at the rail
to receive her brother and her future
sister-in-law. Very few of the Kaiser's
passengers knew until the ship was well
on her way TO her dock that the Presi-
dents daughter was aboard. The party
