Weather Forecast: *) | T0 NEW PACIFIC ARM As the brilliant rays of the noonday sun Friday broke thru a rift in the lifting cloud bank that hung like a curtain over the entrance of Elliott Bay, the flagship New Mexico, of the Pacific fleet, poked her great gray nose thru the opening, and, with Old Glory flying at her masthead, turned and steamed into its home port. Trim destroyers, with their mother ship, were first to arrive. It was not until 12:15 that the super-dreadnought New Mexico, carrying Admiral Hugh f Rodman, fleet commander, came in view. ‘ it was a tousle-haired kid with freckles and a spy-glass who had climbed a fire-escape to the roof of a building at the foot of Pike st. who spied the bat- tleship first. “T see it!” he yelled. “The fleet.” His words were drowned. There was a crash of noise. A thousand whistles shrieked and shrilled, and 300,000 people standing in an almost unbroken line from Alki Point to the Great Northern dock and farther, cheered and yelled and flung their hats wildly into the alr as, one by one, the greatest warships ever seen on this coast, entered the harbor behind their flagship.

Seven battleships behind the New Mexico were strung out for four miles. Behind these the other “sea dogs” were lined up, and the fleet, in its entirety, will come to anchor in Elliott Bay by about 3 o'clock. The first destroyer appeared at 11:28.. It was followed by three others and a mother Py ship, then a whole flotilla stringing into the harbor at slow speed. The superdres nought New Mexico, flagship of the fleet, with Admiral Rodman aboard, came slowly into view at 12:15, and at 1 o'clock was still under way. as early as 8 o'clock, crowds began flocking to the docks.
