Passing the German cor- yette Louise her band played a lively German air, and, nearing H.M's Modeste, the time was changed to "God save the Queen," while opposite the U.S. Consulate and the Monocacy an American air was played. While the Richmond has been in port her officers and crew have fraternised extensively with the community and have made for themselves a good name, while her
