Bellingham, bearing in mind little rebuff he had received when last in company with the flagship, had conceived this means of getting bit of his own back.

 In less than a quarter of an hour Jack Bellingham's presents did what days of talking could not have done. The king. his prime minister, and his secretary put on their tiles amid shrieks of delight from all the men, women and children of Oso1umpe. Under cover of the enthusiasm Bel nngham took a snapshot.
 Then tho accredited representative of his Britannic majesty firmly plant ed tho boats ensign before the door of the palace, BeilinghamB servant presented arms. the gigs orew gave three cheers for his majesty tho king, and Osolumpe became an integral portion of tho British empire.
 Not to be outdone in generosity, Lo- komoko loaded up tho gig with a mag niflcent collection of ivory tusks. The boat showed of amidst . scene of wild excitement, and that same afternoon the Alligator sailed.

 Some months later a wave Of con- sternation flashed through the flag ship as she lay at Simonstown. The commander-in-chtef had announced his intention of taking 2 trip up the west coast.
 As a matter of fact, not even tho ad- miral's coxswain had tho least idea what had made him take this sudden resolution. It may have been owing to a certain postcard which caught his eye as it lay on one of the writing tables in the club.

 Jack was fond of the good things of this life, and did himself pretty we'll on all occasions: he was not en- oowed with any inordinate respect for superior authority; his actions and sayings were at times somevhat or fgtnal. These traits in his character did not popularize him with the pow CTS that be.

 In doing this the king incurred the severe displeasure of the colonial of- ice. and, through that department. tho severe displeasure of his Britan- nic ma1esty's government.

OFF SHORE OVERNIGHT.

Boston, Feb. 22--The U. 8. s. George
Washington with President Wilson on
board was lying at anchor in President
roads, Boston harbor, today.
Escorted by six destroyers. which
met her at sea, the presidents ship
arrived off Deer Island at the harbor
entrance at o'clock last night. AS
soon as the transport dropped anchor
naval craft began circling about 1t
keeping constant vigil throughout
the night.
The day for President Wilson'S well
come dawned clear with a strong south
wind. Practically all signs of rain had
disappeared.
Preparations for bringing the exc
cutive party ashore were under way
early and 1t was practically certain
he would leave the ship at II o'clock
coming to Commonwealth pier on the
revenue cutter Ossipee.
IN GALA ATTIRE.
The only persons on board the
Ossipee to welcome the president were
to be Governor Coolidge. Mayor Pet
ers, Major General Clarence Edwards
and Rear Admiral Spencer 8. Wood.
Every ship In the harbor, naval and
merchant, was mass Of colors In
honor of the presidents arrival.
Secretary Tumulty went aboard the
George Washington last night, going
down the bay on a submarine chaser.
1t was believed likely that Tumulty
had taken with him the six billion
dollar revenue bill for the president to
sign. The streets along which the
presidential procession was to pass
were roped to hold back the crowds.
Extraordinary precautions were taken
to guard the president. The Hotel
Copley Plaza was patrolled with many
secret service men. Mechanics hall.
where the speech was to be made, was
surrounded by officers early in the
day. Men with rifles were stationed
on roofs of buildings.

bile was to proceed. Troops sent In
