the Pacific tame affair compared with the
imposing spectacle of its arrival under Admiral
Evans two months ago. Few people gathered on
the hisides TO see the fleet steam out through the

prevented that ship from joining the squadron 1t
is recalled by the superstitious that the contract
for the Nebraska was let Friday, her keel was
laid that day and the government also accepted
her Friday, old bluejackets see nothing
strange in her disability her first service.
Admiral Sperry started his fleet on time but the
perfect alignment shown when they entered
the harbor not preserved The Ohio got up
steam slowly and three lengths behind allow
ing the Wisconsin to lap her for some distance.
Admiral Sperry also failed to issue orders for the
sailors to ship going out. that the first four
