None Of the forts in the harbor saluted
the vessel. but the demonstration made
by the 5000 soldiers gathered at the

When the vessel was sighted coming
down the bay, the soldiers gathered on
the beach TO bid her bon voyage. They
lined the beach for q mile. and cheer

are soon TO follow the Charleston TO the
scene of Admiral Dewey's triumph.
The Charleston's siren answered the

and the whistling was heard from one

Never has a war vessel leaving this

from the Union Iron works in this city
ten years ago and was one of the NEST
