am n little ahead of the schedule he
continued. but as the weather looked Il
trif1e suually. | thought it better to lie ill.,
side the Hook than outside. Capt. Lam
berton. Lieut.. Brumby and | considered
whether we had better cruise down to-
ward Hampton Roads or come inside at
once. The latter we thought the better
thing to do and so here the Olympia is.
Officially, though, | am not yet arrived.
OF course every piece of brass was
polished. The ship is sound except that
two blades of her starboard propeller are
twisted out of shape. She ran into one
of the Suez canal banks and since then
that propeller has not been used. The
Olympia came from Gibraltar at Il ten
knot speed with one propeller. Eleven
of the crew of 3Io men are sick with
mild typhoid fever. None of the cases
is serious and no one has died since the
Olympia left Trieste.
The Dolphin. flying RearAdmiral
Simpsons flag, was sighted about l
o'clock. The Olympia fired Il salute and
the marines were drawn up to receive
the rear-admiral. A moment after the
admrals shook hands, Dewey said:
Look at those marines. Did you ever
see a finer body of men,
The rear-admiral complimented them,
and said to Admiral Dewey: Are you
well?'

Dewey.
He certainly did. be was clear-eyed
and his brown complexion and alert step
showed his perfect health.
4 am well. admiral, said Admiral
Dewey, a moment later. but / feel bit
tired. When a mans been aboard ship
nearly two years he needs something Of
the shore. l. am awfully glad to be
among my own people again.
Admiral Dewey has no plans of his
own. He is i'll the hands of the com
mittee on reception. In Il general way
he thinks that the Olympia should join
the squadron off Tompkinsville tomor-
row forenoon.
Lipton Calls on Dewey.
The admiral pleasantly evaded the in
quiries that touched on political or mill
tary questions in the Philippines. Sir
Thomas Lipton, DR.. Mackay and others
of Sir Thomas Lipton's encourage called
as Admiral Dewey finished his midday
breakfast
Il suppose you've come for your tea
said the admiral, heartily. alluding TO Sir
Thomas gift at Colombo of FIVE pounds
of tea to each man aboard the ship. Tho
sailors clustered at the bow Of the Olym-
pia and cheered Sir Thomas as his
launch with the Shamrock flag sheered
off. The North German Lloyd steamer
Saale. outward bound, came close enough
for the passengers. crowded at the rail-
response to waving of handkcrchiefS
The Saale,s band played The Star
Spangled Banner and the Olympia
dipped her colorS. The Cunarder Aura
mia passed going out. She fired an ad-
miral's salute and the Olympia's band
played God Save the Queen
Many a tug and Sailboat came up close
To have look at the Olympia. She
looked as smart as though just out of
dry dock, the white sides having been
scrubbed. clean and the weather stains
rubbed off
