relatives or sweethearts, or relatives OF
| friends aboard.
Almost the first to make the gang
way was the Narketa, with Admiral
/ Dewey's relatives. The party was given
a warm greeting and taken to the
cabin. One officer was so overjoyed at
the sight of the wife he had not seen
for twenty-three months, that he rush
ed down the gangway and kissed her
in the presence of 10000 people. Some
of the visitors had flowers for the adj
miral, and more had good things for the
crew. One man presented the crew
with a row boat load of watermelons.
AS soon as Admiral Dewey could de-
tach himself from those who were so
eager to see him, he returned the official
visits which the etiquette of the occa-
sion required. He first called upon
Rear Admiral Sampson, whose ship lay
next to his, and then upon Rear Ad-
miral HowiSon, at the other end of the
line. For this ceremony, the admiral
himself donned the full uniform of his
rank There was a pretty ceremony as

AT sunset the ensigns came flutter-

and officers faced the flag and the ma

twilight faded and strings of signal
lights twinkled on the flagship as or
