appeared to be in good health. He was met
far down the bay by his yacht. the Corsatr,
which had spent the night at quarantine
The yacht was decked with flags. Mr.. Nor
gan did not attempt to board the yacht at
quarantine, as 1t was thought he might do,
and in view of what followed, perhaps he
wished he had done so. He was averse TO
having his picture taken by the many pho
tographers who climbed aboard the vessel
from the revenue cutter at quarantine.
Much of the time while the steamer was
moving up the bay to her pier was spent by
him in lodging cameras. He finally ap-
pealed to the officers of the ship. Mr.. Rus
SELL the purser, came out and addressed the
photographers. who had taken no pictures
Of any one except Sir Thomas LlptOn' VINO
had posed for them.
Many passengers on the ship object to
being photographed" said Mr. hussel.
Mr.. Morgan in particular, continued Mr.
Russell, in answer to a suggestion Il want
to warn you gentlemen that no further pho
tographs shall be made on this ship You
are at liberty to make as many photographs
as you can after the passengers are on the
dock. But II you decline to comply with
this request. 1t is probable that photogra-
piers will be excluded from all ships with
which Mr.. Morgan has any connection.
Many Of the photographers at once sig
nif1ed their willingness to accede to the re-
quest.
Mr.. Morgan, as usual. objected to giving
q general interview, but he was willing to
talk to one reporter. He declined to dis
cuss the financial situation or the affairs OF
the United States Shipbuilding Company,
the United States Steel Corporation or the
International Mercantile Marine Company.
When asked about the first he said that
he could not discuss the subject, and added
that his coming on the Oceanic was not due
to the condition of affairs Of that COM
pany.
When he was not lodging cameras he
stood leaning over the rail on the port side
Of the ship, sometimes looking at the
glistening black sides of the Corsair, and
while the steamer was docking watched the
people standing on the pier. Among them
were Charles Steele, his partner; Clement
A. Griscom, president of the International
Mercantile Marine Company; Clement A.
Griscom, 1r., and p. A. s. Franklin vice
president of the International Mercantile
Company.
Mr.. Morgan did not leave the steamer
until she had been alongside several min
utes By this time the Corsair, her bunting
fluttering gayly against the leaden sky, had
tied up at the end of the pier. The baggage
of Mr. Morgan and his daughter, which
consisted of thirty or forty trunks, pack
ages and boxes was dumped on the end Of
where 1t was examined by the customs Off
GERS before it was put aboard.
After greeting the officers Of his yacht
Mr.. Morgan returned to the pier and later
with Mr.. Steele and Mr. Stotesbury, another
of his partners, drove down town to his Of
flee. He had nothing to say there to re-
porters and after an hour or two spent in
greeting visitors and making himself IA
mi!iar with the latest phases of the flnan-
cha! situation. he returned to his yacht on
which he went up the Hudson to his coun-
try place near Highland Falls.
