TIE ARRIVAL OF THE SQUADRON As SEEN FROM
TIE BAY.
The White squadron took Belfast by surprise
The ships were not expected before Monday noon
or afternoon, and about everybody had some plan
for that day, some point of vantage selected from
which to see the stately vessels steam into
beautiful bay. The journal fortunate, as
usual, and had an observer down the bay Sunday
afternoon when the fleet arrived. About O'Clock
smoke was seen hanging over lslesboro, but was
supposed to come from passing steamer. Half
an hour later the flag ship Chicago came in sight
around Turtle Head, closely followed by the re
main1er Of the squadron. The ships were two
abreast and 1t was some time before they were
counted correctly, but it was found that Including
the long, low Nesuyus, and the little Cushing In
the rear, they numbered eight. Col. Walls yacht,
the Qui Niye, was at NOrthport and ran down 10
meet the ships, and the Belfast yachts Edna f. b.
Z. and Marjorie, cruising In the bay, Stacked Off
sheets and bore away for the white beauties. The
ships steamed slowly up the bay until Just below
the monument, when they came into position to
anchor The Nag ship was the first to let go her
mud nook, and the others soon followed. The
Gushing held by a slender wire cable that
looked no larger than sounding line. The Mar
- ''0-'S 49,
came to anchor, reading the names on the sterns
