The Flying Squadron entering the Bay of Yedo [and] the Bacchante saluting the Japanese flag, 1881. 'Champlain (French); H.M.S. Pegasus; H.M.S. Bacchante...Our Special Artist at Yokohama, Mr. C. Wirgman, has sent us his sketches of the arrival of the Flying Squadron, under command of Admiral the Earl of Clanwilliam, which includes the Bacchante, Captain Lord Charles Scott, carrying on board of her the two young Princes, sons of the Prince and Princess of Wales; also the Pegasus, commanded by Captain Day; and the Encounter, Captain Robinson, bearing the flag of Admiral Willes. These ships anchored in the port of Yokohama, in the Bay of Yedo, on the morning of Oct. 14, but the Tourmaline did not come in till the next day. The Princes landed there, and went up to the city of Tokio, formerly known as Yedo, to see the interesting sights of the place; but the weather was disagreeable, with a cold drizzling rain...The squadron remained at Yokohama till Oct. 25, and then proceeded to Kobe, the port of Osaka, till the end of that month, after which it went to Shanghai, and thence to Hong-Kong. The Bacchante, however, with the two young Princes, was to leave the squadron, and to come home by way of the Suez Canal'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
