the subjects to be discussed by King Ed

ment it was not admitted at the foreign
office that Sir Charles Hardinge would ac-

a holiday and broke it up to join the royal
party on the continent. His presence adds
significance to the meeting. for as the per-
manent undersecretary OF the foreign
office he Is really the man who carries on
the foreign affairs Of the country, and the
fact that he is attending King Edward

times en- route. About a week was spent
near Annapolis and South and Rhode rivers
Leaving there, Sharpe Island, low, barren
strip of sand on the eastern shore, was next
visited. Several years ago large building
was erected on the island to be used as a
summer hotel, and a long wharf was run
out to deep water. The venture. however.
proved fiat failure, and Mr.. Coo states
the building is vacant and the island unin-
habited. A lighthouse one mile from shore

eastern shore. Both of these places they
regard as charming little towns, with
clean, tree-lined streets and large pro-
portion of fine residences. There is not q
saloon In either town, and Clustering and
fishing are the principal industries.
On leaving the Choptank river the canoe
was headed for James and Taylor Islands,
on the Little Choptank, or Hudson. river.
Departing from the islands one evening
at $50 o'clock the voyagers few hours
later anchored in the Patuxent river on the
western side Of the bay.
On the return trip Mr.. Coe and his son
entered st. Jerome,s creek, about midway
between Point No Point and Point Lookout.
Although there Is only one store and one
dwelling at the entrance to the creek, 1t is
the shipping point of large oyster in
dustry.
Stops of a few hours or longer were also
made at Nomini and Currioman bays, on
the Potomac: at Colonial Beach, and at
Nanjemoy and Potomac creeks. The last
night was passed at Mallows creek, about
thirty miles from Washington.
The canoeists arrived here the 18th in
slant. having covered more than 500 miles.
They had encountered several. storms and
high seas, but the little craft bore them
safely.
