The Charleston viii Spend . Couple OF
Days At Redondo Before Leaving
for the North Those Who
Made the Trip.

The second Sunday excursion over the
Surf line to San Diego carried another
large crowd yesterday to the bayn'cli.
mate region to see the Charleston and
1tata. Delegations were picked up all
along the line. At Orange about one
hundred people boarded the train who
hailed from San Bernardino, Cotton and
Riverside. There were numerous An
gelefios at San Diego on the arrival Of
the train who had gone down the day
previous. Fully three thousand people
visited the two noted ships, and, as
heretofore, the officers OF the Charleston
were ever on the alert to explain the
workings of the various guns and to an.
swer thousand and one questions. Not
half the crowd visited the Itata; the
center of attraction was the powerful
and beautiful Charleston. The Itata
presented a more pleasing appear
ance than when she was brought
in a captive, and many admired
the captured runaway steamer. The
many small crafts on the bay did q
lucrative business. Everybody was
carried to and from the vessels in per-
feet safety, and not the slightest mishap
occurred to mar the pleasure of the day.
Today the captain and officers of the
Charleston will give reception and
spread an elegant lunch on board. In
vitations have been issued. The gal
liant captain and the officers do not in
tend to allow the occasion to pass with
out showing their appreciation of the
many courtesies extended to them.
Caytain Remy stated to a HERALD re-
porter yesterday that he would posi-
lively leave San Diego on Wednes-
day for Redondo, where the Charles
ton would remain at least two days,
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary.
The cruiser would 60 direct to San Fran
cisco about Saturday, where she would
secure supply of provisions. and would
then start Immediately on an observa-
tion trip in the northern waters.
Captain Remy has a happy faculty of
being most genial and courteous gen.
tleman, and it is no wonder he Is so
popular. He has the reputation of being
one OF the bravest men in the United
Skates navy. The San Diegans of course
regret the departure of the Charleston,
as they naturally should, for the pres
ence OF this vessel in their harbor hae
been q bonanza for the town.
