The Portland daily press., 1897-06-24

A PRESS reporter who had been
knocking about alongside all of this
time, at last mustered courage and asked
marine sentry at the gang way if pre-
mission would be granted for him to
come on board. Almost as soon as the re-
quest was made the orderly returned
with a courteous invitation and the
PRESS man scrambled UP the side and
stepped on the trim little vessel deck.
The first thing that caught his eye and
struck him as being rather peculiar was
the fact that about all Of the sailors on
board were barefooted
1t seemed strange to see men running
about on the decks without any covering
for their feet, but this the reporter was
told was the way in the "Queen's Navy"
But the crew of the Pallas are sturdy
looking lot of fellows, and have an air
about them that is certainly very attrac-
tive. They are brown as berries from
their long stay beneath the burning suns
Of the south and by the service stripes
seen on many an arm it may also be sup
posed that some of the jack tars have
spent many years sailing about under Her
Majesty's flag. For the most part they
are all young men and this applies to the
officers as well as the crew for younger
looking set of officers have never been
seen on any war vessel which has visited
this port. Nearly all of the blue jackets
appear to be of English birth and there
are none of foreign birth on board, SO the
newspaper man was informed. Another
thing which attracted the attention of the
newspaper man at once was the very un-
obtrusive way which the officers had of
giving their orders to the men. All orders
were seemingly given in low tone Of
voice and the ready manner in which the
blue jackets spring to obey them showed

Harvard Class Day.

Cambridge, Mass, June 23-The festivi-
ties of Harvard class day began this eve
ming with the senior spread in Memorial
hall, The dance which followed was an
innovation in the commencement day
exercises and it was an unqualified sue
cess in every way.
The Delta outside the mall where the
statue of John Harvard stands, was en-
closed with green trees and shrubbery,
and in this space were spread about $50
tables. Delicious viands were serv ed
throughout the evening.
The seniors wore their caps and gown
over evening dress which added to the
dignity of the occasion. A large repre-
sentation of the most exclusive of Cam
bridge and Boston society was present in
attendance.

II. NJ. S. Pallas.

steam yacht Telka, dressed in gala day
attire, and with hundreds of flags flutter-
ing from her rigging, steamed down the
harbor and circled about the ship. AS
she passed under the quarter of the Pallas
she dipped her ensign and saluted with
three shrill blasts from her whistle. In
| stantly the ensign of Great Britain was
dipped and the deep voiced whistle of the
Pallas sent out it's discordant acknowl-
fun for the yachtsmen and was deeply
interesting also for those on board the
man o'war, as all of the officers could be
seen lined up against the gang ways
and on the bridge surveying the yachts as
they flew through their glasses and pre-
sumably picking out the pretty faces of
the ladies on board of them. Again and
again was this exchange of courtesies
gone through with and it was an exceed
ingly interesting thing to watch.
Suddenly there doomed out across the
water the sound of a heavy gun. 1t was
more, making 81 in all. This was ma
tional welcome to Portland, but it was
not returned by the Pallas. Shortly af-
ter this a six-oared barge pushed out
from the foot manned by blue coats In
the stern was seated one of the officers
being improved by the salt spray that
was flying over the quarter of the barge
owing to the rough wator in the harbor
This barge made its way to the starboard
gangway of the Pallas, and the officer
climbed on board where he was received
with appropriate ceremonies by the
officers on board. He did not make very
long call and was soon on his way back
to the fort again.
One of the first persons to visit the
Pallas was III. M. Vice Consul John B.
Keating, dressed in full official uniform
and resplendent in his gold lace and
decorations. He was received by Capt.
Humpage and little while afterwards,
as soon as the Pallas's launch could be
swung overheard, the two went ashore
to pay an official call upon Mayor Ran
dali at the City building.
Another party which visited the Pallas
almost as soon as her anchor touched the
bottom was committee from the Cum
berland Club, consisting of President
Horace Anderson, Gen. John Marshal
Brown, Win. Henry Anderson, Ira Crock
er and Lincoln L. Cummings. These
gentlemen were given very pleasant
reception on board and extended the
courtesies of the Cumberland Club to the
officers Of the ship during their stay in
Portland
While all of this was going on the crew
of the Pallas was not idle. The officers
were giving directions in a quiet manner
on the deck of the ship and the men were
springing to obey them with alacrity.
Soon the steam launch was swung out
board and cutter soon followed. Then
the boat booms were swung out on eth
or side and marine orderly in red coat

started off in one of the boats to get the
mail for the ship. Men We're at work al

that the ship has happy crew and we'll
liked set of officers.
BY the courtesy of some of the officers
on board the Pallas the newspaper man
was given the privilege of looking the
| trim little vessel over from stem to stern.
Everything that was seen impressed him
with the fact that the little vessel is built
for service and is well equipped. Her en-
gines are lacking in some of the bright
work that distinguishes some of the
American vessels of the same class, but
they are evidently made for service not for
show, and the officers say that the little
vessel can make ia knots under natural
are all of modern manufacture and the
little vessel is thoroughly equipped with
an electric plant, torpedo tubes and tor
pedoes, and all that goes to make up
first class man-of-war.
The Pallas is listed as a third class pro-
tected cruiser Some of the Portland
papers have got this Pallas mixed up with
the old Pallas, which was built shortly
after the late war, and would be a little
out of date now. when compared with the
modern ship. But this Pallas is up to
date in every respect. She was built in
Portsmouth and launched in 1890. She
is 227 feet long, Al feet beam and has
displacement of 2575 tons. Her engines
are $500 horse power and her speed under
natural draft, as has been said is ia
knots, while with forced draft she can
make 1884 knots. She carries compile
ment of 20 men and officers, and her
armament is not very heavy. She has
eight four-polnt guns and a number of
three FOUNDER rapid firing guns besides
two torpedo tubes. The Pallas has three
search lights, one forward and one on
each side. Taking her all in all she is a
very creditable little vessel and while she
would seem only a pigmy when compared
with some of the battleships, she is doubt
less a very pleasant vessel to serve in, as
all of the officers seem to like her.
The officers quarters are very roomy
and homelike in appearance. In some of
them were a large number of pictures and
ornaments of various kinds, but the most
surprising thing to the land lubber was
the sight of a lot of bicycles. It turned
out, however, that some of the officers are
very enthusiastic wheelmen and they take
advantage of every opportunity to ride.
As has been before remarked one of the
! most surprising things ON board the
Pallas is the youth of her officers. The
first lieutenant does not look much older
than the ordinary run of ensigns in our
own service. while the captain himself is
not much older than some of the Ameri-
can junior lieutenants. This is accounted
| for by the fact that owing to the large
number of new ships that Great Britain
has been putting into commission in re-
cent years the officers have been advanced
quickly, and promotion in the British
navy is very rapid. They are very
pleasant set of fellows who enjoy q good
laugh and who were very anxious to OBJ
tain information about Maine and Che
city of Portland. In particular were they
desirous of being informed about the pro-

jingling of a bell in the engine room
which could be plainly heard by those in
the boats alongside, an order or two on

the harbor.
In an instant the ship was surrounded
with small boats of all kinds, but as no
one was allowed on board for some time

arrival of the Pallas is still more interest
ing inasmuch as it is the first modern
British man o'war that Portland has
ever seen. And she is not very terrify-
ing ship either. None of the graceful
lines that make ships beautiful are miss
ing. There are no awkward military
n1asts, clumsy looking turrets or ungainly
protective decks to detracu from her
beauty, and she looks more like very
large pleasure yacht than she does like
a man o'war.
The Pallas left Boston yesterday morn
ing at little after o'clock. She was
due to reach here about 2 o'clock and all
Of the people in the city were on the look
out for her. Along the docks were large
crowds who waited in impatient interest
for the appearance of the foreign cruiser
and shout of joy went up when at last
the man in the observatory hoisted the
British flag with black ball beneath
the signal that the foreigner had hove in
sight.
The moment that this signal was sight
club all was hustle and confusion. 1t was
the programme for the fleet to get under
way as soon as this signal appeared and
sail out to the mouth of the harbor1 to
escort the Pallas to her moorings, and
Commodore Bowers as soon as he. saw
the observatory signal, ordered the start
ing gun to be fired. In less time than
would seem possible the whole fleet was
under sail or steam and on its way to the
breakwater. The strong, southwesterly
breeze which was blowing, caused many
of the sailing crafts to reef or double reef
their canvass and even then the heavy
breeze made it almost uncomfortable for
some of the smaller boats to go much be-
yond the sheltering breakwater. Every
boat in the fleet had it's flags flying and
the picture was indeed a beautiful one
as the squadron stood off down the har-
Dor with flag ship Viva well in advance.
The following yachts formed the pro-
cession of escort: Sloop Viva, Commodore
Bowers; steam yacht Maitland, Vice
Commodore Bray; steam yacht Telak,
Capt. Richardson; cat Mistral, Capt.
Carleton; schooner Lena, Capt. Upham;
schooner Beatrice, Capt. Hamlin; cat

son; sloop Clique, Capt. R. K. Dyer;
s'oop I. F. r., Capt. W. j. Allen, and
sloop Libbie R., Capt E. H. Rice.
Slowly the Pallas steamed through ship
channel and in towards the breakwater.
Her black hull, painted red below the
water line, with a white stripe separating
the two colors, the white upper works,
and the white flag with the red cross OF
st. George in the union, gave her very
natty appearance and one which was
very pleasing to the eyes of those who
had assembled expecting to see some
ungalnly turreted battle ship. AS the
fallas came abreast of the yacht club heet,
the viva dipped her ensign and hred a
gun. Each of the little fleet in turn fol-
lowed the flagship's example, and the
man o'war replied by blowing three
blasts of her whistle and dipping her
ensign in return. With about quarter
