ALAMEDA ANCHORS.
As the Alameda reached point op-
posite Meiggs wharf she cast anchor
and the Government quarantine boat
/ General Sternberg, closely followed
by the Government tug Hartley with
the newspaper men on board, put
off for the liner. AS the Hartley
drew near the faces of many of the
passengers became discernable, among
! them Detectives Callundan and Rey-
nolds. DR.. Jordan and Timothy j.
Hopkins. Neither Miss Berner nor
Miss Hunt approached the rail while
the vessel was at anchor.
While the Hartley was maneuyering
for berth alongside, the Golden Gate
/ drew up on the starboard side of the
Alameda and the members of tbs
party. together with Detectives Tom
Gibson, Ned Gibson and Jerry Dinan,
went aboard after the rapid inspection
by the quarantine officers.
Among those who climbed the lad
der from the Golden Gate to the Ala
| media were Mountford S. Wilson,
George Crothers and other Stanford
representatives. At the same time all
| the press representatives were receiv
ed on board the Golden Gate, but per-
mission to board the Alameda was re-
fused, although the quarantine flag
! had been lowered
Soon thereafter the Golden Gate
proceeded down the bay to the Pa
cific-street wharf, where the Alameda
| docks, and as it drew near the wharf
| the true significance of the last home
coming of Mrs. Stanford became ap-
| parent. Ships and buildings all had
flags at half-mast and at the end of
the long wharf stood groups of rela-
tives and friends of the home-comers.
Interspersed among them were squads
| of police with stars draped with
Grape. asy.jSs<
The police arrangements were as
elaborate as any seen here for many
years. Squads ofsS men = averaging
| twenty-five TO the squad from all the
] stations in the city, under command
of their captains and lieutenants,
gave the one bright flash to the other
wise somber setting of the funeral
| cortege. The police at the en-
trance of the pier were under COM
mand of Captain Thomas S. Duke,
while Captain Gleeson had charge of
the pier itself. Acting Chief Spillane
| IN citizens dress kept a watchful eye
on all the details.
LATHROP ON THE PIER.
Carriages bearing Charles Lathrop,
| his wife and daughter and many men,
| bers of the family stood under the long
shed. Relatives of Miss Hunt and other
passengers on the steamer were the
| only ones allowed on the wharf. AT
! the entrance were drawn up two cor-
dons of police, while detached squads
under the command of sergeants kept
2, the crowds back.
| The crowds were forced back to the
sidewalk on the south side of East
street and filled the wide thoroughfare
! on each side of the lane formed by the
men in blue. At all times, despite the
| constant pressure of people and jam
of trucks, were the spectators orderly
and the police had little difficulty in
keeping them in check. Thousands
| took advantage of the Jackson street
pier and it was packed with mass
| of curious humanity that waited pa
tiently the arrival of the Alameda.
Many had found places of vantage
early in the morning and the varie
gated colors of the womens garb
added to the picturesque scene on the
| WdtSi iIoHl.
Their period of waiting came to an
end at II o'clock, when the nose of the
! Alameda appeared around the end of
| the Broadway wharf, and soon she was
moored alongside the Pacific street
! pier. The same faces were at the rail,
neither Miss Berner nor Miss Hunt
! appearing.
! Immediately the gangways were
J hoisted and the police superintended
| the boarding of the boat. At first only
! the relatives of Mrs. Stanford, Miss
| Berner and Miss Hunt and press rep
resentatives were allowed to board. but
later, after the main salon had been
carefully guarded from trespassers, the
police. allowed all visitors in the shed
to go aboard the steamer.
I In the main salon, under the watch
| full eyes of detectives and those in
! terested in the Stanford estate, sat
I Miss Berner, heavily yelled and in deep
! mourning, and Miss Hunt, whose face
J was framed in black On one side of
| Miss Hunt was her mother. and on
J the other Mrs. Irvine, a friend from
ISan Mateo.
/, BODY BROUGHT ASHORE.
| Down in the forward hold beneath
| the forward. hatch lay the body of Mrs.
/ Stanford, reposing in the metal and
| mahogany coffin in the purple and
!
cially for it's accommodation. On ali
sides were stands of flowers, and the
! floor was strewn with rice chan. Half
/. an hour after the Alameda docked the
| forward starboard freight port was
/ thrown open and the coffin was carried
by six stalwart sailors from the ship
| ITO its resting place In the hearse. Al
| most at the moment that the body
reached land the whistles Of nearby
! factories shrilly sounded the noon-
! hour and the gilt hands of the ferry
| clock pointed to IL.
| After the body was placed in the
hearse the twelve carriages that ac-
/ companied it to the Third and Towns
| end streets depot drew up at the main
i gangway and began to receive their
occupants. In the first carriage sat
Charles Lathrop, his wife and his
daughter, Jennie Lathrop, and Judge
S. f. Leib. In the second, Miss Berner.
Detectives Callundan and Reynolds and
Mountford S. Wilson. In the third,
Miss Hunt. her mother and Miss Irvine.
In the remaining carriages came Pro-
i fessor Jordan Timothy j. Hopkins and
