| the DlacK background OF tne destTOyers
| The destroyers. however did not fire any
salutes
The Alabama, next in line after the
| Illinois, had begun to salute before the
! Mayiower got beyond the Illinois's stern.
Admiral Dewey, Rear Admiral Taylor,
Rear Admiral Rodgers, Capt. Bronson and
| Con. Chaffee had moved up to the bridge
| with the President by this time.
Beautiful beautiful" exclaimed Mr..
| Roosevelt.
Nobody gave the word to cheer on the
Alabama, and her crew maintained strict
silence as the Mayfower steamed past.
Nor was there any cheering on the otner
ships the Kearsarge and the Illinois being
the only two that paid such a tribute to
the President in the early part OF the review.
The explanation was that those on the
Alabama hadn't heard the cheering on tho
Illinois and Kearsarge owing to the hrln8
of the salutes and we're not, therefore,
aware that the cheering was to be passed
on down the line.
America" was the air played by the
Alabama's band, but the musicians Of the
other ships stuck to Hail Columbia"
and "The Star Spangled Banner
Down the south line the Mayfower
moved. surrounded and followed by the
thousands Of pleasure craft and saluted
by the six-pounders OF each ship she passed.
Everywhere 1t WAS the same; saluting,
band-paying manning the sides.
were passed in turn and then, steaming
easily and gracefully, the Presidents flag
ship went around the end of the line and
turned to pass along the north column
The Panther, the Prairie, the Yankee
and the Topeka were the first four ships
i'll that column. Each of the yards bore its
string OF white-clothed humanity, the
jackies standing and supporting them
selves by twining arms around the necks
and over the shoulders of their fellows, and
as they stood there, they looked down on
the President and his party. all of whom
showed their admiration plainly.
As the Maytiower passed the Panther,
which had four battalions Of marines drawn
up on board Mr.. Roosevelt, turning to
Admiral Dewey, said;
How much better those marines look
in campaign hats than in those internal
peaked helmets
Al the end of the north line was the
cruiser Olympia, the famous flagship of
Admiral Dewey, who, standing on the
Maytiower's bridge, heard her guns boom
again.
As the Olympias salute sounded the
Maytiower, taking a wide turn, approached
the columns of the fleet 1t was intended
that she should anchor between the col
unns, thus shortening the distances between
and the other vessels tlniing tho period OF
ceremonial visits
But instead, the Nayfower anchored
at the head of the feet and about in line

when the sigral went mp on the Mavl'ower
