Bluejackets Were at Work Before
Sunrise Making the War
Ships Ready

NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-Long before sun
rise this morning the bIuejackets on Ad-
miral Dewey's flagship were hard at work
washing down decks and preparing the
flagship. Like activity was I'm progress
on the other sea fighters riding at anchor
below the Olympia.
The scene was glorious one as the suns
rays glistened on the white side of the bi,,
vessels and the black hulls of the small
ones.
The members Of the Olympias crew,
tearing TO disturb the slumbers Of their
commander. moved quietly about the ship
ana the anchor watch was set in silence
ihe marines paced their posts noiseiessly.
AS the morning advanced launches darted
from vessel to vessel, carrying officers, and
ran from the ships 10 the naval dock and
back with provisions When lat colors"
was sounded, the shore OF Staten island and
the hills back Of IT were black with peo-
pie. and they cheered heartily as the flags
were raised.
shortly after s o'clock the auxiliary cruis-
er scorpin arrived and gave the admiral :
salute Of seventeen guns.
ADMIRAL Dewey made his appearance on
the Olympia shortly after o'clock In un-
dress UNIFORM Quite a number of ves-
seis of various kinds were already lying
beside the flagship. and he received a warm
greeting.

The Sandy Hook arrived ct the Olympia
at l0:40 o'clock. The O!ympia's launch
put off TO the Sandy Hook, but the mayor
could not get on board. the deck being too
high. The police boat Patrol saw the
trouble the mayor was in. and she steam
ed up alongside the Sandy Hook
The mayor then stepped aboard the Pa
troll. from which he boarded the launch
The launch put off for the Olympia and
steamed up to the starboard side The
mayor aScended the ladder and stepped on
board the Olympia's deck precisely at II
o'clock.
Admiral Dewey was standing a. few feet
aft OF the gangway when the mayor
stepped on deck. Mayor Van Wyck stepped
Immediately toward the admiral and intro
duced himself They shook hands warmly
Then the admiral shook hands with Mr.
Downes, whom he had met before. Mayor
Van Wyck was apparently about to speak
when the admiral put his hand on his ell
bow and turned him toward the entrance
10 Captain Lamberton's cabin.
Lets go inside he said. The whole
party went into the cabin. Captain Lamb
erton bringing up the rear
They were inside less than five minutes
before they returned TO the deck. Admiral
Dewey wore a medal on mis- left breast that
had not been there ten minutes previously.
He took Il turn or two on the deck with
the mayor, while the rest Of his party
stood around talking to the ships officers.
Then the barge was called alongside again,
and Admiral Dewey led the mayor down
the sangway and boarded the barge with
him. The barge took its passengers to the
Patrol. and the Patrol trans-shipped them
TO the Sandy Hook.
The band on the Sandy Hook struck up.
See the Conquering Hero Comes as the
patrol approached. The admirals visit to
the Sandy Hook was a lengthy one. As
soon as he boarded the steamer he was
taken In hand by the special committee Of
the reception committee and taken aft
where he held reception. All the mayors
guests, the visiting governors and others
were introduced 10 him. With him as es-
cort vas Flag Lieutenant Brumby, of his
personal staff
The admiral shook hands with everybody
and said a word here and there when he
recognized an old acquaintance.
1t was about 1:30 o'clock when he
boarded the Sandy Hook, and It was quite
an hour later when the sides OF the Oiym-
pla were manned to greet him on his re-
turn.
