knobs were black with frantic. enthusi-
astic people, who strove weakly to make
their shouts heard above the perfect
bedlam Of footing whistles that accom-
panied the admiral ashore and afioat. At
the stately mausoleum of Grant ON Riv-
ersids drive, the fleet paid it's tribute to
the memory of the great warrior with
national salute of 81 guns. The fleet
then anchored and reviewed the almost
er dless procession of craft that steamed
past, all SO burdened with humanity that
1t looked as II they would turn turtle be-
lore they got back to their piers. Toward
the end the parade became disorganized
aud 1t took hours for the heterogeneous
iotilla to get by. Darkness ct last
brought relief to the tired admiral, who
had stood on the bridge for six hours,
bowling his acknowledgement of stentori-
an expression Of homage.

enemy's fleet without the loss of a man

say that three million people viewed the
pageant from the shores, and that
quarter Of million we're ailoat. When

baggage OF the first class passengers. In
more than one instance rings were torn
from the fingers OF fainting and dying

officers, busily caring for the safety or the
passengers had no tims to interfere with
the yandaIs.
When morning cams 1t was found that
the Scotsman lay close In shore alongside

second boat load of women and children

and the passengers trans-shlpped TO tbs
rocks alongside the ship.
Until 9 80 the officers and some Of the
crew of the Scotsman worked increasingly
In getting the passengers ashore and
when darkness and a heavy fog set IN,
all were safe on the rocks but here the
new danger of starvation faced them.
The lower decks Of the steamer were en-
tirely under water. A quantity of biscuit
was carried on shore, and on this with
little corned beef and wild berries over
200 persons existed for four days. Some
natural sgrings were found, but despite
this the bad conditions of food and water
brought on muon sickness
Many Of the passengers suffered from
the exposure. After much difficulty, some
overcoats and shawls were secured for the
women nearly every one of whom had lett

The passengers wers obliged TO climb
up rocky cliff nearly 200 feet before they
could find place large enough to rest
Here they stayed on the rocks for four
days and nights. The first night they,
had absolutely no shelter, but on Satur-
day the captain sent up tarpaulins and
blankets. They were very acceptable as

eight miles away. 70 do this It was
necessary to climb about 1909 feet higher
before a practicable path could be reached
and there the difficulties had only begun.
The path is rocky and uneven and is
crossed by huge clelts and deep gullies.
One gentleman took eleven hours to
reach the lighthouse and only rested half
an hour on the way.
1t was not until the Goth that the
Moptfort came along ana was signalled
by the Belle Isle lighthouse where
number of the Scotsman's passengers had
walked from the wreck. After bringing
these persons on board the ship, she
proceeded 20 where thu Scotsman lay.
The weather was bright and clear. As
soon as practicable the boats were
launched and the work Of transferring
the passengers began. The Montfort took
two hundred and fifty of the passengers
and the steamship Grecian which snon
after came In sight, took the remainder,
excepting four who decided to return TO
England on the steamship Monterey next

of the clippers were conspicuous for their
ensigns and signals. Every craft In the
harbor was dscked out from stem TO
stern with all the grace and attractive
ness known to shippers. But ths dis
play In the East river was not to be com-
pared with that of the North river, mp
which the procession was to pass. From
the peaks Of every pier long ropes strung
with flags Of every hue were stretched to
the snubbing post at the corner, the
fronts were decorated with multitude
of gay devices and there were flags on
the staffs and lines of flags above the
ropes.
The vessels at their sides were dressed
from stem to taffrail and some carried
flags ON their ya;ds and had their deck
houses covered. The wind shook the BAN
