INTENSELYTHRILLING
STORY OF LINDBERGH
ARRIVAL WASHINGTON
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TRE
MENDOUS WELCOME AC
CORDED FLIER
Through the courtesy of the Radio
Operator Chief Frank HoSeth, of the
IS. S. Yukon, the Gateway is permitt
ed to publish the following and in
tensely thrilling story of Lindbergh’s
arrival in Washington of which brief
accounts has reached Alaska to date,
date. ✓
i Almost every moment is recorded
' from the time the cruiser Memphis
was sighted and until Lindbergh re
sponded to President Coolidge’s ad
dress of welcome in the reviewing
, %
stand.
The story:
WASHINGTON, D. C..—The first
, real thrill conceiving the arrival of
Col. Charles Lindbergh at Washing
ton, D. C., was when the U. S. S.
Memphis -was first sighted. The
Memphis steamed up the Potomac,
and on past the War College cheered
by many thousands along the beach.
Docks, buildings, and every spot of
land along the water was lined with
countless numbers of cheering Ameri
cans, welcoming their hero home.
A tremendous crowd was aboard the
Preisident’s yacht Miayflower. The
| sky w’as black with airplanes flying
| in battle formation then flying away
i in all directions then again returning
| to battle formation. At 8:40 a. m.
(Seattle time) the gang plank was
being set in place for the distinguish
ed hero to pass over. Lindbergh can
now be seen coming off the bridge
followed by a number of high offi
cers and well known citizens, the
President’s Cabinet and officials of
the Army and Navy. (S:48 a. m.
Seattle time) The parade of cars are
now forming on the other side of the
!
| pier, and loud cheers go up from the
j crowd as they see Lindbergh passing
along -the deck with high officials.
He now enters a cabin with his moth
er and is alone with her for some
few minutes. The moment is in
tense, every second the crowTd ex
pects Lindbergh to come ashore but
he doesn’t come. The same little
personal touch of excitement hasn’t
been felt since Armistice Day. The
band is now playing, Mrs. Lindbergh
is with her son, that is the reason
they haven’t left the ship as yet.
Probably this mother and son will
never again feel just as they do at
this moment. What a sensation this
must be to be greeted by such a
throng of people. The reception
j committee including Secretary of the
i
Navy Wilbur is now going aboard
(S:50 a. m.Nseattle time), a salute of
19 guns is now being fired for the
Secretary of the Navy, and the band
plays again. #
The entire white uniformed crew
of- the U. S. S. Memphis is lined up
at attention. Here comes Lindbergh,
he is coming down the gang plank
with hat in hand and his mother
following, on the arm of Secretary
of War Davis. The temperature at
Washington is now 84 degrees, very
few men are wearing coats and most
of the women are carrying parasols.
Lindbergh and party board their
V
cars and are on their way towards
the Capital where thousands upon
thousands await him. Every building
in Washington is black with people
and the streets are lined with many
more. The police are lined up, all
through the Capital grounds about
20 feet apart, some are uniformed
and some have plain clothes, wearing
a club and revolver strapped around
their wraist. A squadron of motor
cycles police are coming around the
Capital Plaza followed by a squadron
of Cavalry, then comes Lindbergh in
one of the President’s cars, hat off
and hair waiving in the gentle
breeze. (9:15 a. m. Seattle time)
the car bearing Col. Lindbergh pass
es the Capital building.
Certain high officials said, never
since Roosevelt’s inauguration has
there been such demands for space
to see the parade. When the Lind
bergh car passed along Pennsylvania
Avenue the crowd w'ent wild, women
and men and children as well threw
their hats, coats, newspapers and
practically anything they had to
wards the parade, showing their en
thusiasm and welcoming spirit. The
crowd is now assembling around the
President’s stand where the Presi
dent will decorate the new hero of
the world. Whistles are blowing and
thousands of people are yelling and
cheering. The President took his
seat in the stand at (9:40 a. m.
Seattle time) and is waiting for the
approach of Lindbergh. President
Coolidge and many dignitaries cn
the reviewing stand are now turned
toward the rear of the stand where
Lindbergh will- appear. Now the
cheers are assuming a roar on the
street. The guard is now coming
in ahead of Lindbergh’s car, and now
Lindbergh’s car approaches, the band
is playing and 150,000 people in the
immediate vicinity of the stand are
straining their necks to get a
glimpse of the hero. Men and wo
men are cheering and yelling with
tears in their eyes by the excitement.
President Coolidge arose, greeted the
hero airman, then in his speech told
of the various attempts that had
been mate to span the Atlantic and
Pacific to Hawaii, gave a brief talk
of the airman’s former life and good
habits and said "My fellow citizens
this man has returned, he is here, it
is our privilege to 'welcome him back
to his country and his people and as
President I bestow this distinguished
flying cross upon Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh. Col. Lindbergh’s reply
was very brief, he said that the peo
ple of Europe, all over Europe re
quested him to bring a message of
good will and friendship to the
people of America. Then the band
played and hte crowd dispersed.
NEW YORK—After flying to New
York from Washington, D. C., and
receiving plaudits of a crowd of
100,000 persons at the battery, Col.
Lindbergh was welcomed by Mayor
‘Walker at the City Hall and present

ed with the City Medal of Valor. In
presenting the medal Mayor Walker
said he could not surrender the city
to the Colonel because he had al
ready captured it. People lined* the
sidewalks of Broadway 10 deep as
Lindbergh proceeded from his recep
tion at Battery to the City Hall, then
to 23rd Street and Fifth Avenue and
finally to Central Park. All along
the route, the hero flyer received
formal honors but far greater was
the gorgeous spectacle of the entire
city drawn into a few narrow thor
oughfares to pay respects to their
idol. He was an idol worthy ofc wor
shippers. Throughout the tedious pro
ceedures when he was forced to
stand at times for hours Lindbergh
never faltered. Nor was his famous
smile lacking whenever it was need
ed in affairs. He rode stolidly
through the masses of humanity, his
face a little red with embarrassment
but calm and unaffected to the end.
