13ao, Francisco, ' May ., 6.- The
anchors of the Atlantic battleship
fleet splashed into San Francisco
bay today and the first half of the
world-famous cruise was completed
Prosaic Is the statement, but far
from prosaic was the arrival and its
attendant circumstances, for never
In the world's history has .there been
such a magnificent marine spectacle
as that presented when the combined
fleets, 43 ships of war, led by the
flagship Connecticut, with good old
, "Fighting Bob',' Evans on the bridge,
plowed its way down through the
Golden Gate between the high cliffs
black with humanity, adding a
mighty flesh-and-blood welcome to
the ships and. men- upon whom de
volves the task of upholding the na
tion'a honor at home and abroad.
Al nlpht long hundreds of people
slept in the open on the hills, on the
mlllUry' reservations . on both sides of
Golden - Gate and on the - beach in the
vicinity of Sutro Heights. . With the
first gray streaks of, dawn they were
up, and before their eyes were half
open theyj were ' looking-, seaward to
catch' the first glimpse, of the, gr6at
ships of white and buff which were rid
ing at anchor near the lightship, eight
miles off snore.
A slight mist hung over the sea and
at first only a faint outline of the
vessels could be discerned, but with the
"lifting of the hase the monster sea
fighters stool out In bold relief, tnggtng
at toeir ancnors as tnougn anxious to
he unallpped and be permitted to sail
at tone Into the magnificent harbor to
which the eyes of officers and men
have been longingly turhed for months,
but the time had not yet come for the
signal Trom tne neiovea commanaer-uv
chief to up anchor.
Crowds Pour Into City.
The crowds, . preceded by thousands
that had-come to the city, three, four
and even five days ago, began to pour
into 8an Francisco as soon as the fer
ries started, and trllnload after traln
load began to pour Into the depots on

sides, housetops, excursion boats, from
tiny, wheezing launches to great ocean
liners, were crowded with patriots, their
bosoms- swelling' with pride and their
hearts beating with expectancy and
enthusiasm.
At last they Were going to see that
for which they had been waiting since
December Is. They were going to see
the much-vaunted Connecticut, the nrlde
or tne -American navy, with Rear
Admiral Kvans st the post he is so soon
to relinaulsh. leading the wav through
the glorious Golden Gate, followed by.

steaming towards the Golden Gate earlv

honor of being the first to get outside
and give noisy greeting to the warships.
Arrived at the entrance the eyes of the
people on the boats fell upon a scene

crews cheered and waved hats, flags
and handkerchiefs, but even In the ex
cess of their Joy they could not over
come that tremulousneas of speech the
peculiar choking sensation, that come
when the emotions are aroused to the
highest degree.
But the great spectacle was yet to
come, and after hovering about the
battleships the excursion boats started
back for the bay to take position to
view the ships as they came In. man-

ly what the Wink means.
Read It Before
' You Eat It
The Wisconsin and Nebraska took up
their position during the night. Join
ing the big fleet immediately upon its
trrlval at the lightship. The movement
of the sightseers to the various places
from which the fleet's entrance could
be observed formed a pretty picture.
Hundreds of automobiles, gaily deco
rated with bunting and national colors,
sped through the streets,, while the less
fortunate, the majority carrying flags,
from the miniature buttonhole affair to
the more pretentious slse. boarded cars,
decorated wagons, buggies and other
means of conveyance, vying with one
another in the display of the colors.
Ferryboats Crowded.
The ferryboats did a rushing business
from the first trip and when the trains
from the Interior began to arrive they
were taxed to their capacity. The
smaller towns within a radius of 100
miles were almost depopulated, while
from the larger cities came thousands
of people.
. In the city business was suspended,
the saloons and restaurants being about
the only establishments open. Stran-
fers had a hard time securing their
reakfast, - many waiters refusing to
work, preferring to see the ship than
to earn a day's pay.
Goat Island, in the middle of the
bay directly in front of the city, from
which the best view of the incoming
fleet and Its maneuvers before anchor
ing could be had, was sought by thou
sands of persons from across- the bay.
For five hours ferryboats plied their
way between the Oakland shore and
the island, taking at least 1,000 passen
gers on every trip.
At Fort Mason the military post was
thrown open to the public. From there
a view or the gate and the harbor of
Tlburon covered by the hase is af
forded. In the Tlburon channel lie the
revenue cutters that will police the
pageant.
- Thousands on Slopes.
In the Immense sweep from Fort
Point to Fort Mason, thousands took
advantage of the view afforded. On
the slopes of the Hyde street hill and
Russian I Ml, were gathered other thou
sands who had been there since early
morning and who braved keen winds
that came In through the gate. The
wind carried ' before It & fog
from time to time, obscured the main
channel.
From Russian Hill to Telegraph Hill
the circular stretch of waterfront. In
cluding Fisherman's wharf, Jfelgg'a
wharf and the Seawall were a mass of
people. Telegraph Hill on both sides
was packed with spectators. The wharf
from the railroad yards up to the Ferry
building and beyond was crowded. Au
tomobiles thronged the Presidio ground,
while at Fort Winfleld Scott were
gathered many guests of the Presidio
officers to witness the arrival.
Despite the Immense crowd, which
was estimated, Including the city's pop
ulation, at least 800,000 people, there
was plenty of standing room along the
shore from which to see the fleet.
At the beach and Point Lobos, the
hillsides were black with humanity,
and thousands were packed like sar
dines right down to the water's edge.
Some energetic and patriotic specta
tors had erected tents and slept on the
wind-swept beach eo as to avoid the
rush of getting to the scene this morn
ing. Many seats had been erected at
prominent points and sold at 11 each.
Jrhey went like hot cakes, even with all
the hundreds of acres of open space,
from which a good view could be had
without favor and without price.
The chill morning winds had bean
anticipated by many mothers, who
br3Ugnt heavy blankets in which to
keep their babies wrapped while await
ing the incoming of the ships. All were
happy, all beaming with expectanoy,
with patriotism.
