Steamed Slowly to Sea.
The ship steamed slowly out OF the
harbor, passing a long line OF Ameri-

vessel the crews were drawn I'D on deck
in ceremonial formation, dressed in full
dress uniform. Arms were presented
as the Montana passed. and the band
of each vessel played the funeral march.
The docks and seawall were lined
with people to witness the departure of
tn ship. There was no cheering and
no demonstration beyond the formal
ceremonials prescribed by the regula-
tions of the naval service. But in the
preciseness and formality Of these lay
an impressiveness that will never be
forgotten BY the people who witnessed
the departure.
