those from shore to pay his respects to
Mr. Roosevelt.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, Con-
gressman Nicholas Longworth of Ohio
and Capt. Butt boarded the Kaiserin
| from the revenue tug and were re-
ceived by Mr.. Roosevelt in his state
room. An interesting incident occurred
| during the early reception in the har-
| bor Col Roosevelt was waving his hat
in response to the cheers that were
waited to him from craft when he sud-
denly paused and, looking in the direc-
tion of the press tug Gilkerson, pointed
his hand to the south. He seemed to
be giving a warning, and the men on
the Gilkerson turned quickly In the
direction indicated. They saw the bow
of the battleship South Carolina loom
ing up hardly 100 yards off the tugs
starboard quarter, and Capt. Martin
of the Gilkerson, who had been looking
for danger in another direction, put his
wheel hard over just in time to get his
boat out of the big warship's way.
KISSES SONS FIANoEE
As the cutter Manhattan came along
side the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
Mr.. Roosevelt made his way through
a group of second cabin passengers,
who clustered along the rail and, spy
ing his children on the Manhattan,
called to them and threw them kisses.
Mr.. Roosevelt lost no time on board
the Auguste Victoria. The usual GUS
toms and health inspection formalities
accomplished, he at once trans
shipped to the revenue tug Manhattan,
where, with the immediate members of
his family and few intimate friends
he sat down to heavy breakfast.
Mrs. Roosevelt was the first to come
down the gangplank from the Kaiserin
to the Manhattan. In a moment she
had thrown her q DOIIf ArQhia and
Quentin and effusively kissed and
hugged both of them She next greeted
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., and his
fiancee, Miss Eleanor Alexander.
Mr.. Roosevelt made a flying leap to
the deck of the Manhattan and, with
the exuberance and spirit of a school
boy he slapped his son Theodore on the
back. He then turned to Miss Alex
ander and r ed her. He took up
Quentin and Archie in his arm and
gave them resounding smacks. These
greetings over, Mr.. Roosevelt with Col
lector of the Port Loeb at his side
extended cordial greetings to the 9TH
ers on the Manhattan. He shook hands
with everybody, including members OF
the crew. In the meantime, the big
liner was hemmed in close by mail
boats and newspaper tugs, while clus-
tering about this central group were
yachts, excursion boats, lighters and
decorated with flags. The cheering
was continuous between those on board
the assembled fleet and the passen-
gers on the Kaiserin.
THE NAVAL PARADE
Broadway and the other streets lead
ing into Battery park were filled with
moving streams of humanity, all
hurrying or in the struggle for places
of vantage. While the naval parade
was still invisible from the Manhattan
shores, all the whistles in the lower
harbor broke into a furious din. Roose-
welt was approaching and the crowd
began to stir nervously. Swift excur-
sion steamers, their rails black with
sightseers began to file by the Bat
terry and still the parade was invisible.
Al 9:55 the thunder of salute came
rolling across the harbor.
A moment later the white hull Of the
first ship in the parade, dressed from
stem to stern in flags, came into sight.

stationed on the water front, struck

There were no cheers from the crowd
that packed the park and filled win
dows of office buildings. The people
