. At the audience with the Em- peror of Japan Admiral To was required to speak English, 443,740 language in which he was by no means proficient. It was necessary to prepare a little speech for the Admiral in English, which he com- mitted to memory.

Only the Japanese Court interpreter was al- lowed to be present at the inter- view, and he and other members of the Mission had: to wait outside. The Admiral fired off his little speech, but when he got to the middle of it his memory failed him. He (the speaker) could hear what was going on from the door leading into the audience chamber and it was an embarrassing 00- ment for all of them. Fortunately the Admiral remembered some- thing of the latter part of the speech and finished it, though he skipped one or two passages. The Emperor has a good command of English, but he spoke in Japanese and the Court Interpretar render- ed it into English. On leaving the Emperor they had to walk back- wards and as the floor was rather slippery it, was not an easy task 86.61 and he nearly fell. 20.40
