wounded and disabled soldiers,
rounded the head of Golden Gate
at 2:1o o'clock yesterday morning and
ten minutes later dropped anchor
lust within San francisco harbor.
The soldiers came asleep to a sleep
ing city and it was not until day =
break that the whistles of revenue
cutter and quarantine boat awoke
them to sense of their home coming
to America. With the quarantine
boat came a Kansas correspondent
and his shouts to the Kansas boys
brought them tumbling out OF bed
The boys cheered and soon long line
of soldiers in pajamas crowded the
railing.
There were thirty-one men and
three officers from Kansas. The Off
GERS are Captain Clarke, Captain Wat
son and Lieutenant Ball. The Kan
sans had recruited wonderfully on the
voyage. The bracing sea air had
taken the malaria out of their sys-
TENS.
Many of them were still haggard
and others were limping from wounds
received in the hard fighting, but in
all of them was the evidence of mend
ing
Not long after the inspection of the
ship there came along launches con-
tanning San Francisco newspaper men
and government tugs bearing the har'
Dor officials and women of the Red
Cross society. Some of the tugs
brought baskets of peaches, plums
and other California fruit with
which to shower the soldiers.
One tug brotght band which
serenaded the returning heroes with
sweet and inspiring music. Home,
Sweet Home" was played and 1.-THE Star
Sprngled Banner" Dixie" and BE
cause l Love YOU" but the enthusiasm
came when the band struck up "A
Hot Time" This is known as the
fighting march of the Twentieth Kan
sas, and the enfeebled veterans again
felt the inspiration which was vented
in cheers loud and long. On board
the tugs tiny silk flags were waved
during the serenade.
Then came the hospital tugs and the
removal of the weaker of the invalids
to the Presidio.
