Excerpt from The Universal Review, Vol. 2: September to December, 1888
But what about the sailors? It was the moment Of the naval Opera tions at Kiel, and therefore the whole navy was probably on exhibition there. Unfortunately, we met on a Sunday in Berlin two or three youths who were naval cadets or midshipmen, and such ostentatious dandies, such fops, such snobs we had never seen in that dress in our lives. They were swaggering along the streets with the undisguised purpose Of exciting admiration by their very strange and affected costume, imitated, of course, with exaggerations, from the British uniform. The few lads we saw were, let us hope, exceptions, but such an exception would only be tolerated in our navy so long as his fellows could not get at him then five minutes would make it prove the law.
