Kaiser Surprises American Admiral

by Appearing in Early Hours.
From the San Francisco Call.
When Fighting Bob Evans attended the
opening Of the Kiel Canal. in 1895. EN-
peror William one day boarded Evan
flagship. and in course Of conversation
asked the admiral how long II would take
him to close all water-tight ports, ready
for action.
Two minutes" said Evans.
The admiral was somewhat astonished
when the Kaiser said: Let me see you
do lido it yourself" Evans tried the
siren. but there was not enough steam to
blow It.
Aha" said the delighted Kaiser. You
cannot close your bulkheadsl"
Evans then touched a general alarm
button, and in an instant men came
swarrning up from every part of the ship.
while Emperor William held his watch.
In one minute and a half all doors were
closed and the ship was ready for action.
"FineI' said the Emperor. with a look
Of chagrin. 'Fine"' And then. TO cele-
brate the feat, wine and cigars were
brought into the admirars quarters. The
Kaiser liked the wine and the admiral so
much that he stayed until 2 o'clock In
the morning. when Evans thought he had
seen the last Of him. But at o'clock
the same morning an orderly knocked at
his door. and. touching his cap respect
fully. said: Il have the honor to inform
you. sir. that the Emperor OF Germany Is
Just passing the ship in his yacht. and
the Emperor is steering"
What demanded Evans, entirely for
getting his dignity as an admiral for the
moment. Then. looking out OF an air
port. he saw the Kaiser in his white fan-
nels. steering the Meteor as II he had
never taken a drink in his life.
''WeT, I'll be -r' said Fighting Bob,
as he rolled back into his bunk But he
could not help thinking, Where has the
Kaiser spent the time between 2 and &
