that we would arrive before Thursday
unless we moderated our speed or went
somewhere out of our course. Capt.
Lamberton, Lieut.. Brumby and 1 held
a consultation.
'The consideration that really decid-
ed us to come into port was to give
Capt. Lamberton a chance to clean up
the ship before our voyage up the har-
Dor. Capt. LambertOn and L am very
proud Of the Olympia and we wanted
enough time at our anchorage to rub
her down and make her look spick and

gates Adm. Dewey and his gallant tars
received the glorious, thunderous well
come of the steel walled men-of-war as
their stately ship glided up to her po'
sition at the head of the column, there
to remain until the great naval parade
starts on Friday.
Never, perhaps did a triumphant

every sort of harbor craft, all jet blacl
with wild, cheering, exulting people
and the towering white walls of th'
city beyond were draped with million
welcoming flags.
Wednesdays greeting to Dewey wa
the greeting of his comrades of thu
navy. And it was eminently fitting
that his comrades in arms should have
the first chance at him whom the mil
