Roosevelt had a sea bath at the Azores. Pon'a Devada was reached at day? break on Wednesday. Put Ihe steamer Finland wa- occupying tbe inner berte and v. was necessary lor (he Hamburg which tbe ex-president was a passen lo anchor outside ihe breakwater. A terrific sea was running, and the passengers were forbidden to land.

Word had been cabled from Horto ot Mr. Roosevelt's coming, and prepara? tions bad been nude to give him an official recepiionaodagutrd of honor wa? drawn up. The sea became so violent tbst All bope of bis coming ashore was abandoned and the troops withdrawn. Not tu minutes later, however a boat swung aroond the end of tbe break? water, and Mr. Roosevelt, in a military overcoat, with tbe stripes of a colonel on the sleeves and a Rough Rider hat, ashore.

Traversing the cobble paved marina aad crossing the quaint cathedral equate, be entered the cot sulale and showed himself for a mo? ment oa tbe balcony, bowing to tbe cheering crowd below. In rt turning tbe greatest danger was experienced in gettirg u'orgside. At a critical and somewhat inopportune mo mont the ship's band burst forth with 'The 8 ar-Spaugled Baooer." Mr. Roosevelt despte the perilous swaying of the boa', rose to bis fret and stood ba-e-headed until the music ceased. With the boat alongside the gangway, Mr.

Roosevelt started lo jump, but hampered by tbe folds of bis orercost, his loot slipped, ani be went into the water to bis knees, bis life possibly seing saved by the pro-p' action and strength of Fuurth Officer Heissler and tbe q.Rr'err_A*t*r, who caught him under the arms and lifted bim to tafety. As he was seen to slip into the water a gasp of honor ia. along the passen gerlined rail. Mr. Roo evett dripping with water, made light of the experi? ence.
