A Storm Threatened.

Here, too, 4 disaster of wind ana

gathered down the bay followed close
in the pageant's wake. A sharp wind
bred whitecaps even in the narrow
river, and Il few raindrops battered on
the deck.
The glare of m angry sky turned
the harbor behind the var ships to
molten lead upon which the gigantic
figure of Liberty seemed to stand for
a time and was soon swallowed up in
a hank of gray haze.

The Me-aphone Commands.

Megaphone commands flung across
the water brought the torpedo boats
to keel, like the greyhounds they
we're, at the Olympia's quarter. The
brilliant code flags blossomed like
flowers on the Olympia from bridge TO

column. The Brooklyn's pennant
snapped aye. aye" from the signal

The Review and return.
The turn of the parade broke the
formation of the police boats beyond
repair. The war ships doubling back
into the mass of advancing boats
threatened for a time serious conse-
uuences, but the Olympia and her on
sorts safely dropped anchor at last in
reversed column and the water
pageant passed the admiral in review.
The police boats ~reappeared as indi-
yidauls ard unceremoniously shoul-
dered intruding vessels out of the line
of march. The official procession and
its varied following of tugs. launches,
steam dredges, and excursion boats,
rounded the St. Marys and came down
the river in an indistinguishable
AQUATIC mob that was still passing long
after the night illumination had b.

The Only Stable Points.

The only stable points in the scene
at that early hour were the war ships.
They lay like a great white grounded
berg about which the pack ice turned
and swirled, without moving them
from their moorings. 1t was a morn

the New York and the other ships be-
hind the Olympia. Everything had
been cleaned and FURNISHED from ram
