President Roosevelt greeted Capt. Long
and the other officers of the MayfOwer,
and Immediately went aft TO the star
board side where he joined Mrs. Roose-
welt and the other members of the party.
He was in the best of spirits and his
face wore an almost constant broad
smile, the characteristic one that is
known all over the world.
Frequently Mr.. Roosevelt picked out
babies or children in the crowd on the
wharf and bowling to the people would
! wave his hand to the youngsters.

guns. The crowd cheered and the men re-
