be inside the Hook than outside. But
the consideration that really decided us
to come into port was to give Captain
Lamberton ~ chance to clean up the
ship before our voyage up the harbor.
Captain Lamberton and I are very
proud Of the Olympia and we wanted
enough time at our anchorage to rub
her down and to make her look spiclz

Putting the Ship Into Trim.
The Olympia looks as smart now us
q yacht. The anchors We're hardly
down before details of the crow We're
washing the ships white sides and
touching up the stains with paint.
The admiral's first business was to
send an officer ashore with kilograms
for the navy department., Mayor Van
Wyck and General Butterfield, an
nouncing the arrival. He then spent
most of the morning in looking over
newspapers and receiving reporters.
He was just finishing a midday
breakfast when Sir Thomas Upton
called on him. With Sir Thomas We're
DR.. Macllay and other visiting English
men.
81 suppose you have come for the
tea" said Admiral Dewey, referring to
Sir Thomas gift of five pounds of tea to
each man on the ship at Colombo
enc; you are welcome to that if any
body can drink it,, replied Sir Thomas.
The admiral and the cup challenger
had a 15-minute talk. AS Sir Thomas
and his friends left the Olympia half
hundred Of the ships crew cheered the
baronet.
81 could not stop them, /" cried out
Admiral Dewey, waving his hand at
Sir Thomas Upton. ''They had not
any orders to do that" Admiral Dewey
then had a succession oil notable callers.
Sampson the Next Arrival.
Rear Admiral Sampson, with Gap
tain Chadwick, his chief of staff, and
Lieutenant Commander Winslow, his
flag lieutenant, came on the Dolphin.
When the dispatch boat was mile
away it began firing an admiral salute
of 10 guns. The Dolphin anchored neas.
the Olympia and Rear Admiral Samp-
son and his staff went aboard. They
were received by Admiral Dewey, Cap
tain Lamberton, Lieutenant Brumby
and the officer of the deck, the full ma
rine guard and band being paraded.
The officerswent to the admirals cabin.
Rear Admiral Sampson said he was de-
lighted with the evident good health of
Admiral Dewey, and he told the adj
miral that he looked much younger
than most of the portraits made him out
to be. Rear Admiral Sampson re-
manned on board for more than an hour.
| Soon after Rear Admiral Sampson had
| gone, Rear Admiral Philip voyaged
down the bay in the Narkeeta and paid
an official call.
The rear admiral's salute was not
fired in this case, by request Of Rear
Admiral Philip. Admiral Dewey re-
ceived these Official visits in undress
| uniform.
4 Flotilla Around Olympia.
al day tugs, sailboats and excursion
steamers came up near the Olympia
and took a look at her. Everybody who
asked was permitted to come aboard.
Some of the parties of sightseers OH
launches and steamers We're invited by
] the officers of the deck to come up the
gangway. The Olympia's anchorage is
near the main ship channel. The North
German Lloyd steamer Saale, outward
bound, passed close to the Olympia.
The Saales passengers crowded to the
rails Admiral Dewey responded to
| waving handkerchiefs by lifting his
cap several times. The Saales band
played ''The Star Spangled Banner, .
and the Olympia dipped her flag. The
Cunarder, Urania, passed out half an
hour afterward. She fired II signal
bombs. Admiral Dewey directed the
Olympia's band to play .'God Save the
| Queen"
The admiral, about O'Clock, returned
Sir Thomas Lipton's visit. Lieutenant
Brumby and the admiral's son, George
g. Dewey, were with him. The adj
miral remained on board for nearly half
an hour and then started for his ship.
The Erin's crew began to cheer, and as
his launch drew away the entire ships
company, guests, officers, crew, serv-
ants, Cingalese and all, led by Sir
Thomas, gave three honest cheers, the
kind that the admiral heard from the
British warships in Manila bay. Adj
miral Dewey waved his gold bound cap
like schoolboy as he stood on the rail
of his little white canopied launch, be-
ing given hearty welcome in his own
home waters by 100 foreigners.
Admiral Dewey purposes, unless his
plans shall be changed by the recep-
ton committee, to bring the Olympia
up the lower bay and anchor inside the
harbor with the squadron of United
States warships off Tompkinsville, of
which squadron he is now in superior
command.
