The Memphis kept closely to her {schedule up the river, passing Mount Vernon the home of George Washe ington, shortly after 9:30 o'clock. Lindbergh went to the bridge to salute the national shrine, Los Angeles is Sighted Soon afterward the Los Angeles, flying high above the cruiser came into sight' from the navy yard in Washington. She loomed like a shining silver pencil over the hori- zon, resplendent in a June sun that had chased away an early morning cloud bank and dispelled for the time at least a distant threat of showers. On the dock at the navy yard Preparations to receive the Memphis were complete. The general publio had been barred from the yard, but the reception committee of more than 75, headed by four cabinet of- ficers, had given passes to some 2, 000 guests who crowded against the £ to keep clear the space just opposite the station reserved or the Memphis. At one end of the large roped ene t airplane motor sim- nur to that in Lindbergh's “Spirit of . Lo had been placed as a part of the picture that was to welcome the aviator home. At the other end of the platform the presidential vacht Mayflower was tied up to her pier.

Three airplanes flew low, cir round the Memphis and others in groups of thre and in triangular formation hovered above, The flag of the Memphis was rais- ed in to its customary position wnd the sailors on deck broke their ranks, he Los Angeles did not keep di- rectly over the Memphis as she ap- proached Washington, but circled high above the Memphis.
