acknowledgment that proud and mighty
though she be among the great war
vessels, she is no less proud of her name,
and the names of the great men it
suggests, and of the decoration Of honor
that she is to receive today.
At the time of arrival very few people
were on the lookout for her, though some
enthusiasts had waited for her on the
cold windswept wharves since six
O'Clock. At about s. 80 every body in the
city was thrilled by the boom! boom of
her great guns. and crowds began to
hasten down to the wharyes to get a
glimpse of her.
