"There .i oe thnlg that I can talk

sharp, and there were thousands of
people down to the different docks.
The ships in the harbor made all kinds
of noises and gave a great ovation to
oar President. Aviators from the
Naval Aviation Camp did circus stunts
in the air and cirerled around the
George Washington; one of the avia
tors ducked under the Brooklya
