Oh! we are no longer savages, Baroness, believe me. If you want ignorant barbarians, you must seek the Chinese." The little Japanese was proud of appearing so profoundly learned in European affairs, and his gimlet eyes sought an approving glance from Paul Jacquemin or Michel Menko; but the Hungarian was neither listening to nor thinking of Yamada.

The mistake was, of course, speedily discovered; the squadron hove around and headed north for Yamada. Next we put in to Sendai bay, a commodious anchorage, but very much exposed seaward from its broad and unprotected mouth. Great rollers and heavy swells come thundering in with nearly all winds.

"Why don't you come to Etretat? It is charming there. We don't do anything but eat and drink and talk scandal Oh, yes! Yamada sometimes gives us some music. Come here, Yamada!" The Japanese approached, in obedience to her call, with his eternal grin upon his queer little face. "My dear Prince," rattled on the Baroness, "you don't know, perhaps, that Yamada is the most Parisian of Parisians?

One tall young man in a very clean white coat dodged the thrust of the gun coming about five feet under the eaves when an officer thrust his sword into his back, just under the shoulder blades. The man was not more than ten feet from us in front.... "Mr. Yamada was most indignant and said, 'I shall tell Governor Kudo just what I have seen and tell him in detail.

Marsa belonged to them, as she went from one to another, replying to the compliments which desperately resembled one another, from those of Angelo Valla, which were spoken in Italian, to those of little Yamada, the Parisianized Japanese.

Well, as you know the race came off, and as you may also remember the "Comus'" boat was beat in common phrase "all to smash." September 15th. Southward once again. It was intended to call in at Yamada on the way down, but by some unaccountable reason we overshot the mark and found ourselves in Kama-ichi instead.

I was not the first to reach the goal, for the battleships were all lying together, with the cruisers some distance outside them, but my boat was the fourth alongside, beating the Asama's gig by half a length, to the intense disgust of Captain Yamada, who occupied her stern-sheets.

Here, as in the inner temple, there is a large house for sacred dances. Many tea-houses in Yamada furnish music during the evening. We visited a very artistic place, said to be five hundred years old, and there we saw one of the sacred dances peculiar to that province. NAGOYA, April 25th: We left in the morning for Nagoya, and were guests at the Nagoya Hotel.

Oh, yes, I see it! I have annoyed you. But be consoled; we are going at once, and then, you know, that if there is a creature who loves you, respects you, and is devoted to you, it is this little idiot of a Baroness! Goodnight!" "Good-night'." said Andras, bowing to the Baroness's friends, Yamada and the other Parisian exotics.

"Let us have another; but Maisons- Lafitte is too near. We will go to Rouen the next time; or rather, I invite you all to a day fete in Paris, a game of polo, a lunch, a garden party, whatever you like. I will arrange the programme with Yamada and Jacquemin." "Willingly," responded the Japanese, with a low bow. "To collaborate with Monsieur Jacquemin will be very amusing."
