BELLINGHAM, Wash, May 2l.-
With its incandescent bulbs cleaning
and its searchi!ghts playing across
the heavens, the first division of the
Atlantic battleship fleet rests tonight
on the bosom of Bellingham bay.
The fleet has been officially welcomed
by the municipal authorities and OIL
GERS, and shore leave men are being
entertained ashore.
On account of a very heavy tide the
vessels did not arrive until shortly al.
ter noon, being one hour penino
scheduled time.
The entrance into the harbor was
viewed by thousands of people from
Bellingham and surrounding country
from the commanding heights of Bell
ingham, Sehome hill and wharVes
along the water front.
Shortly after midnight the fleet
rounded Cape Flattery and entered the
strait of Juan de Fuca.
Sailing westward 1t passed between
the fir-lined shores of Amoyea ano
British Columbia, under a clouded SKY
guided by the pilot Herbert r. Beecn-
or a son of the famous preacher, Henry
Ward Beecher, to Port Angeles, where
on a signal from the flagship Connect
cut, the Louisiant, Virginia, Missouri
and Ohio left the line and turned into
Port Angeles.
Continuing on to point opposite
Port Townsend, the Illinois, Kearsarge'
Wisconsin, Nebraska and Kentucky
turned southwark toward the lano
Notifications at Fort Worden.
The Illinois and Kearsarge entered
a. Il ortn
Townsend, while the Wisconsin, Ne
braska and Kentucky sailed on toward
Bremerton navy yard.
In the smugglers' Home
The first division of seven ships fol-
lowed Rear Admiral Sperry's blue PEN
nant toward the north and threaded
its way among the many wooded
islands of the San Juan archipelago,
where the smuggler in the days that
are passed had his concealment.
Going UP Rosario strait, the division
passed between Cypress and Guemes
islands into Bellingham channel, skirt
ed the southern shores of Lummi island,
passed Commercial Point in single line
and drew near the water front OF Bell
ingham.
The division then changed it's forma-
ton from single to double lines, the
connecticut at the neau OF tne llie Oh
the right and the Georgia on the left.
When the anchoring ground was
reached and anchors were down. sa-
lutte of thirteen dynamite cartridges
was fred from Commercial Point, &C
companied by the blowing Of whistles
and cheers OF the thousands on the
land
A novel feature of the greeting was
the discharge OF fireworks by the local
Japanese society.
Just as the Connecticut acknowledged
the salute from land bomb hurtled
through the air and exploded in the
sky, a large silk American flag attached
to a red, white and blue parachute,
burst forth and floated away to the
east.
A few minutes afterward a launch
containing Mayor James p. DeMattos
and the executive committee put out
from the shore and boarded the flag
ship, where a formal welcome was ex-
tended and accepted by Rear Admiral
Sperry on behalf of the officers and
men.
