steaming westward In double column
formation at a speed of ten knots an
hour. They will follow the southern
route to Hampton Roads. a distance
of 3.600 miles, and about 1.000 miles
off the American coast they will be
met and escorted home by the third
squadron of the Atlantic ‘iiect under
Real-Admiral Arnold.
The Weather conditions at the time
of departure were glorious. The sky
was without a cloud and there was
just enough breeze to curl the crests
of the sun-flooded waves. Nothing
could have surpassed the beauty of
the marine pictureas the American
armada emerged from. the shadow of
the towering rock of Gibraltar and
moved out into the straits.
The difficult operation of getting the
sixteen huge battleships out of the
narrow basin of the port and under
way was accomplished with a skill
and perfection of manoeuvering
which won the admiration of all the
naval officers who watched the pro-
cecdiugs critically from land and sea.
Admiral Sperry directed the whole
operation from. the after brid e, of the
Connecticut. At 8:30 a. m. t a signal
to unluoor was given and the great
chains holding the ships‘to the. buoys
were loosened one by one until the
vessels were. held to their anchorages
by only a single strand.
At 8:55 a. m., a stream of multi-
colored slgnal flags on the flagship
communicated the order to get under
way to the Georgia. the Nebraska, the
New Jersey. the Rhodo Island and the
Virginia, lying at the rear of the basin.
As the flags came fluttering down five
minutes later the designated battle-
ships cast off their last lines and like
leviathlans seeking escape, they slow-
ly swung their noses in the direction
of the breaches in the breakwater.
Twisting and turning to the clanging
of engine gongs they crept out. the
Georgia leading the way with Lleut.

bor. hoisted and saluted the American
flag as the Connecticut passed out
The band on the quarter deck of the
Connecticut played the English au-
thors. while the musicians on the for.
sign warships played the Star Span-
gled Banner us the respective cnsigns
were dipped. Admiral Goodrich ano
Admiral Litvinoff. of the Russian
Navy, signalled:
"Good bye; pleasant voyage."
Admiral Sperry replied laconic-ally:
"Thanks. "
Then the Connecticut steamed mu-
jesticaily along the. line of the waiting
American vessels. took Its place at the
head of the column, and set the studs
flag "Five of Clubs." The fifteen oth-
er vessels wheeled gracefully In be-
hind the Conuecticut. and with the
black speed cones run up to the yard
arms the imposing procession. which
was over three miles long, moved to
the south.
The alignment of the ships was per-
fect. and the spectators crowding the
terraces of the Alameda and Europa
Point could not restrain exclamations
gers on two liners anchored close in-
to shore cheered.
For a distance of about twelve miles
the fleet stood to the south. Then be-
ing clear of Cape Tarife, the moat
southerly point of Europe. and with
nothing butt he broad Atlantic be-
tween tlleln and home, the flagship
headed abruptly to the westward and
in lndian file the splendid fleet left the
anslent pillars of Hercules behind and
steamed through the straits and out
to sea.
Looking from the Rock of Glhral
tar the water separating the ships
seemed gradually to be obliterated as
the distance increased until the 16
, hulls resembled a. long white line sur-
mounted by a trailing plume of
smoke. Suddenly. off Cape Spartel.
the line wavered and broke Into small
parts. Then a few minutes later there
were two parallel lines instead of one,
showing that the fleet had assumed
Its regular double cruising formation
The last glimpse of the warships
was obtained at 1: 15 this afternoon
from the signal station on top of Sin-
raltar, 1.300 feet above sea level. The
ships were then hull down and more
specks on the horizon.
They were headed a little to the
south of west to reach the thirty fifth
parallel, which they intend to follow.
The dispatch boat Yankton is 700
miles ahead of the lieet and 300 miles
ahead of the supply ship Culgoa, which
left here Thursday. The colller Ajax
and the repair ship Panther will r-e
main here until tomorrow to clean up
odds and ends
Although no homeward bound pen-
nants were flying from the ships
when they left here today. these insig-
nia will. blossom out on the way home
and when the vessels reach the mouth
of the Chesapeake pennants from 125
to 150 feet long will be streaming from
their main *trucks.
The officers and men left here with
‘ . feelings of jubilation that their next
port will be home. when the fleet
reaches Hampton Roads, it will have
traveled about 45, 000 miles.
