about 10 o'clock this morning, Major and
Mrs. Greedy, and Admiral and Mrs Luce,
drove through the navy yard and around
by the point through the city of Ports
mouth, to look at the decorations which
everywhere abounded. Greelywas looking
better than he has at any time since the
rescue The Distinguished party were recog-
nlZed by but few persons on the streets,
ana the carriage returned soon 10 the navy
yard, without stopping anywhere. One old
fellow. who stood on Kiheny bridge, alone
recognized Greely, and taking off his
rough cap, gave three hearty cheers, which
no one heard except the distinguished
party themselves. Greely in recognition
politely lifted his hat. The day was
generally spent very quietly. A great
many people visited the navy ward. and
about everybody tried to get a glimpse of
Greely, but no one got nearer than the
picket railing which incloses the grounds
around the Admirals residence. The in
closure, however, was constantly surrounded
with people, who seemed content with gap
ing at the hero, as he sat on a seat under
the trees, his family and close friends
around him. Ever since early morning all
sorts of water craft have piled between the
city and lower harbor. laden with visitors to
| theveSSels atarchor. All llinterest ofcourseis

from 5000 TO 5000 persons inspected the
| Bear Thetis and Alert to-day The other
| survivors walked about the navy ward in
the cool of the morning, and during most
of the day lounged idly about on the deck
| of the old Constitution. The authorities
have decided TO permit Greely and his
little party to participate in to-morrow's
| demonstration. They will leave the Ad-

back TO the navy yard. Tonight the entire
party are apparently well and in the best of

strangers. The hotels have more applica-
tons for rooms than they can possibly fill.
Nearly all the buildings are handsomely
decorated, and it is expected tomorrow
| display will be the most magnificent in the
| history Of Portsmouth All the relics of
| the expedition were exhibited on the deck
| of the Thetis to-day and viewed by hun
dreds of visitors. At the stern of the Thetis
was wooden pole, the thickness of an oar,
on which were nailed three pieces of cloth
one a colored handkerchief another a
| piece of calico and the other a remnant of
woolen shirt. This was the dis
tress signal of the rescued men,
Their sledge was shown. 1t was composed
of two rough pieces of plank, shod with
rough pieces of iron, resembling hoop-iron
joined by clumsy cross-bars; and another
object viewed with great interest was bag
of reindeer skins used by one of the party
to sleep in. Greely was on deck for two
hours this morning, and was introduced to
many visitors. He appeared weak, and
hesitated in his speech, as if from weari-
ness. During the forenoon the fore-hatch
of the Thetis was raised, and the metal
sarcophagi for the dead We're revealed On
each, about in the middle, is place for the
name of the deceased, and near the top

nished silver. In the tank of the Bear are
the bodies of the dead heroes, but no one is
allowed to view the remains
