fat topped derby, appeared to be in good health
He was met far down the bay by his 1.-THE hulled
yacht. the Corsair, which had spent the night at
Quarantine. The yacht was decked with flags,
which futtered from end to end. Mr. Morgan
did not attempt board the yacht at Cuaran-
tine as il was thought he might do and in
view Of what followed, perhaps he wished he
had done so. Mr.. Morgan was averse to having
his picture taken by the many photographers
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 appealed TO the officers Of the ship. Mr..
