rain. A dozen newspaper and mos tion picture automobiles raced after in pursuit. In the car with the Lindberghs was heavy set man in a brown overcoat. He was described by officials, in melodramatic terms appropriate to the strange arrival, as "Mr. K" Officials said that the man in brown made the arrange ments for the Lindberghs' transpor- tation from the ship. The delay in docking was said to have been due to 8 talk between Lindbergh and two immigration officials and a home office representative who had boarded previously.
 Rumors as Ship Moored
 Everyone was looking for Lind bergh when the ship was moored. The secrecy surrounding him caused rumors that he had been taken ashore in 8 tender from the river where the ship had anchored await ing a turn in the tide. Newspaper scouts went Scurrying all over Liv- erpool. George w. Roper, Liverpool manager of the United States Line, came ashore and told newspaper men that Col. Lindbergh uttered seven words to him when he intro duced himself: T don't wish to give any interviews" Roper has had charge of all arrangements here for the Lindberghs' arrival, in behalf of the United States Lines.
 There have been few arrivals of the sort in England. There was a heavy police guard on the gang plank, there were lines of policemen from the ship to the limousine, and two plain clothes men from Scot land Yard in London followed the Lindberghs down the gangplank.
 Lindbergh Was Hatless
 Lindbergh was hatless as usual when he ran down to the dock. Mrs. Lindbergh wore red turban and a mink wrap, with 8 tapered tail col- lar.
 It was foggy and misty, with a rain.
 There was a large crowd about the docks, mostly newspaper men, photographers and dockworkerS. There were few women. The crowd cheered, and the Lindberghs smiled broadly. Jon seemed amazed at the demonstration and the flashing of photographers bulbs.
 As soon as the Lindberghs had left newspaper men were permitted aboard the ship. From its portholes hung tinsel wreaths and Christmas bells left over from the Christmas celebration.
 There was rush inside for signs of the Lindbergh baggage, with pos- sible clues to their destination, and to question ships aides.
 United States line officials who with Roper greeted the Lindberghs and watched their strenuous effort to avoid attention included T. R. Morris, of the passenger department and Captain H. O. Davies, marine superintendent.
 Had Lunch at Hotel
 The Lindberghs had lunch at the Adelphia hotel in Liverpool.
 Their host at the luncheon was W. H. Gregory, 8 member of the Morgan Grenfell banking firm in London.
 Captain John W. Anderson, youthful skipper of the American importer, revealed that the Lind berghs crossed on his ship without the attention of stewardess or doctor, Mrs. Lindbergh taking en- tire care of the baby.
 Captain Anderson said he was not aware of the identity of his prospective passengers until he re- cognized Lindbergh as he came aboard.
 'The Lindberghs proved to be ex- cellent sailors, even little Jon," Cap- tain Anderson said. "They seemed to hold up in the heavy weather even better than some of the crew. They appeared seldom in the din- ing room and kept to their rooms for the most part, even on Christi mas. They had their own Christmas feast in their suite, which was fes- lively decorated"
 Suite of Three Rooms
 The Lindberghs had a suite of three rooms, one of them for Mrs. Lindbergh and the child, equipped with a crib and playthings. Colonel Lindbergh occupied 8 separate room and the third was used as sitting room, where the family spent most of their, time and had their meals.
 Captain Anderson said Lindbergh was uncommunicative about the purpose of his trip and no one tried to question him. Both he and his wife appeared on the bridge sev- eral times and discussed matters of | navigation and aviation.
 The ships wireless received more than 125 messages during the voy- age, addressed to Colonel Lindbergh Many of them were from British newspapers. Lindbergh left orders that none of them were to be de- livered.
