review the ships after they had gotten
under way
| The ships had been pointed up stream
all morning in the spring of an ebbing
tide. 1t was intended that they should
not get under way until the flow had
changed and their prows had been point
ed toward the wider waters of the lower
bay. This would have made the maneu-
wiring of the many vessels in the close
confines of the river comparatively
easy task. For more than an hour past
the schedule time the President waited
for the tide to change and the advance
of the moving fleet But under the infiu-
ence of the gale blowing out of the har-
Dor, the ebb continued undiminished. A
little more than two weeks ago President
Taft arrived in San Francisco harbor
where the Pacific fleet lay at anchor. 1t
was long past nightfalI when he started
across the bay but the ships of the fleet
had officially delayed the setting of the
sun for an hour in order that they might
salute the Chief Magistrate. The navy
regulations do not permit the firing of
salutes after shutdown. 1t seemed, today,
that nature was retaliating for this lib
rety with her time table and by no Off
cial order would the drift of the tide be
