at the noisy ovAion. Rear-Admirel
Shimamua, chief of staff, laughingly el-
bowed Vice -Admiral Kamimura. The
junior officers tried to clear the way
but the crowd closed in on Admiral To-
go and they were frequently forced to
push the crowd backward in an endeav-
or to clear the reaching Minch. Finally
Admiral Togo and Vice -Admiral Komi-
/num were freed frometheir enthusiastic
admirers and surrounded by officers,
they reached the carriage sent by the
Emperor to the station to convey the
distinguished party. to the palace.
As Admiral Togo. apaeared a great
