Admiral and head of the Russian navy, was also a frequent visitor to the Americans at Kiel. One day, while, watching the Columbia, the Grand Duke said to the captain: "I'm glað you Americans are rebuilding your Best. Do you know what most impressed as when I visited your country? The first thing was your wonder ful natural wealth and sasand the absolutely inadequate means ut your disposal for national defouco. Twice in my career I have heard the project of capturing one or two of your great eisies and holding them for rausom deliberately disoned by officers of European fleets, whose countries had hard work to take ande gioót.
