Gently held the impressive ceremony
OF transferring ommanders-in-chlet
on the retirement of Rear Admiral
John Hubbard.
II was an impressive and pathetic
scene. When the hour for the trans
| fer arrived the officers and crew OF
the flagship were drawn up IN forma-
ton on the afterdeck OF the cruiser,
at the halyards OF the aft topmast
stood Flag Lieut. Milne OF Admiral
Hubbarrd's stan ready TO give the
signal for the lowering OF his SUI
lperior's ensign. As Admiral Hub
bard. followed by Admiral Murdoch,
came from below, the band played
and the gray-haired commander-in-
chief passed down the starboGrd deck
passing the marines with rites at
present arms. then crossing TO the
port side, where the ships officers
had formed, he shook hands with
each one, saying a word OF farewell.
In turn Admiral Murdoch paid his
greetings TO each OF the officers, then
both of the admirals, standing near
the stern OF the ship, faced forwards,
Admiral Murdoch pace TO the right
and rear OF Admiral Hubbard. At
word OF command the guns OF the
Saratoga belched forth thirteen shots
| in honor OF the retiring admiral
which were echoed by the Albany and
New Orleans. As the smoke OF the
firing cleared away, the signal for
the lowering OF the retiring admir-
ais ensign was given, and slowly, to
the notes OF martial air, Admiral
Hubbard watched his flag descend
marking the termination OF his active
career as a member OF the United
States navy.
1 The next moment, to the quicken
! ing tune OF another martial air, the
| flag OF Admiral Murdoch was raised
TO the Saratoga's masthead, followed
again by the rear admirals salute OF
the Saratoga's guns and those of the
Albany and New Orleans, this time In
honor OF the new commandments
of the Asiatic squadron.
Following the firing OF the last sa
lutes, cutters from the Albany and
New Orleans brought their respec-
tive commanders aboard the Saratoga
TO pay their respects to the two adj
mirals, and Rear Admiral Hubbard,
in civilians clothes, stepped upon the
deck and with a few final words of
farewell went over the side and down
the gangway at the foot of which
was waiting cutter manned entirely
by officers of the Saratoga who were
to row him ashore
AS the cutter with the gray-haired
admiral, In civilian clothes, seated in
her stern drew away from the vessel
which had been his flagship. cheer az
ter cheer rose from the threats OF the
Saratoga's crew who had lined her
rail, and the band stationed at her
stern played Aud Lang Syne. The
pathos of the scene brough tears &c
the eyes OF the assembled sailors.
