From the Sioux CITY Tribune.

FROM the Sioux City Tribune.
What probably was of the most
hours in the life of Paul Schroe-
der, now in charge of the naval re-
crulting station, is a bit OF hitherto UNI
published history worth recording. 1t
came some six years ago. when, serv-
ing as machinist's mate, second class,
he was on board the cruiser West Vir-
ginia, which, with it's sister ship
Maryland, was before P1reus, Greece,
early on the morning of October 3,
1906. The cruisers on their way from
Newport. II. j., to Manila to join the
Asiatic feet, two hours previous had
fired the national salute and wa

nature, before coming to rest. Admiral
Bronson, in command of the fleet, was
no less worried than was every jack
tar on his boat.
The ships had steamed into the port
in the carly morning. AS the fog
lifted from the sea and parted it's veil
that slroudcd steep, stately mountains
hugging the shore line, the American
sailors viewed for the first time the
ancient and historic city of Athens,
high above them on the hills. Earlier
in the morning the men had expected
to take a trip up the mountains and
visit the city, which to them, as they
lay in the harbor, appeared to crown

Salute Not Answered.


Having waited longer han a reason
able time. the c~ommandant was pre-
pairing to send a party ashore under a
truce flag. AS the BOAT was DOL to
leave, binoculars in the hands of the
officers detected q scene Of excitement
at the docks, and soon a tiny streak of
black smoke Of q small boat coming
toward the fleet.
With a speed that was amazing. a
small yacht made its way to the
Maryland and inquired for the COM
mandcr. Upon being Informed that
Admiral Bronson was upon the West
Virginia, the launch crossed the short
stretch of water that lay between the
boats with the same speed that had
marked it's progress from shore. Ar
irving at the side of the gigantic war
vessel, the occupants of the little
yacht, two in number. after going
through the proper forma]ities, We're

presence of the admiral. who from his
position or the bridge had been watch
ing the movements of the boat.

The two were profuse with bows and
grace in address, and soonS through
the medium of an interpreter. Admiral
Bronson was informed that one of them
was he prince of the town.
After some delay, 1t became known
among the men on the ship that the
Grecian city was ready and willing to
receive American sailors at all times,
but the city at that time was having a

During the medieval period doors
were small and narrow. SO that only
person could pass through at q
time. owing to the anniversary need for
protection against attack. For this
same reason external doorways were
sometimes set in q recess, commanded
by openings through which arrows
could be shot. The doors themselves
were constructed In one phIce and not
divided from the center. and were
fastened by strong oak bars, which
could be drawn across from one side
to the other.

The clouds Of war disappeared, and
the party of sailors, of which Mr..
Schroeder was a member, soon were
on shore looking over the town with

American sailor.
The yarn" spun by Mr.. Schroeder
of events during the cruise of the fleet
