their seats in the gig, amid the cheers of
the assembled crowds, shrieks of steam
whistles and ringing of bells. The gig

IL :15 when the start of the Despatch on
the trip up the Kills was announced by
guns from the Richmond, and it was
after IL O'Clock when che came in sigh
in the upper bay.
For several minutes the roar of cannon
as she passed several men-of-war, was
almost deafeniDg. Each of these, to-
gether with the forts in the harbor, fred
a national salute. Soon there was per-
feet roar of cannon and clouds of smoke
hung over the bay like bank of sea fog.
Belches of fire flashed through the smoke
like streaks of lightning giving the scene
a lurid glare. The scene was stirring.
Family, above the roar of cannon, could
be heard the shrill pipe of boat swain
whistles on the revenue cutters, yachts
and men-of-war. In trice sturdy tars
manned the yards and cross trees, with
heads uncovered, and gave hearty Amer
lean cheers as the Despatch steamed
slowly by. The officers stood with un-
covered heads. AS the steamer came
opposite the flagship of the different
squadrons, the latter, one on esch side,
steamed out and accompanied the war
ship the length of the squadron. The
colors were dipped, and, as the Despatch
came opposite the Chicago, the entire
feet of over 1000 steamers blew their
whistles.
