The Kodak Shop SCARLET FEVER AND EXPOSURE COST LIFE OF JAMES B. GURNEY Brother Stephen in Letter to His Mother Tells of Death of Former Univori sity Student. .James H. Gurney, a freshman who left college last fall to enlist in the 20th engineers, and who lost his ^ife as a re sult of the torpedoing of the Tusoania, died from exposure when he was already sick with scarlet lever, and not from shock, as was first supposed. This his brother, Stephen Gurney, who also was on the Tuscania, wrote to their mother, Mrs. D. J. Gurney, of Glide, Ore. She h is also received a letter from her son, James, written mi board the ill-fated ship. Stephen Gurney's letter reads in part: “February 15, 191S. “Dear Mother and Folks: It has been quite a while since we landed, and I would have written sooner, but I couldn’t learn anything about Jim till yesterday. “You will know about his death before this reaches you, and probably more of the particulars than I can find out. I ■ saw him on the boat every day until a few days before we were hit. There were a couple of days I didn’t see him, then I inrpiired and learned he was in the hospital. It was thought for measles, i but it seems he had the scarlet fever. “As soon as I eould after we got ashore I asked the captain of his com pany if lie was with him. They didn’t have any traee of him at the time, and the captain promised to let me know as soon as he found out. “Everyone was scattered out and we made several moves, so that it took quite a while to get together. Our com pany hasn’t everyone accounted for yet. Yesterday they 'told me that Jim was in a boat that landed at Islay, Scotland, and that he died and is buried there. “It seems pretty hard that he had to be taken before he even got across to the front, but when you see and talk to the soldiers who have been over there and are hack resting up from wounds, and see how cheerful the people here seem to he, it is impossible to think much of your own troubles. Many Sick on Ship. “There were a good many sick on the ship, and several rooms were used for hospitals. When we got hit I thought of looking for Jimmie, but the lights were out and the hospital corps was or ganized to look after the sick. I was supposed to go down in our boat as an oarsman, so after looking around for owhile I went to my post. We should have taken the second boat, from our station. When I got there the first boat was down. It was loaded and got away all right, but the rigging got tangled and they couldn’t handle the second one from the davits. We stayed at our places for an h»ur or more waiting for the boat, 'and were pretty certain it could not be launched. That is the hard est hour I ever put in. It would have been much easier to have been doing something. No one said a word, though, and finally they got the boat over, but it went into the ocean and smashed up going down." Gurney Writes Home from Ship. A letter to his mother which was written by James B. Gurney while on board the Tusc-ania en route, and evi dently a number of days before the ves sel was torpedoed, follows: 1 “Somewhere on the Atlantic, Janu ary —, 1918. [ “Dear Folks at Home: I started to date this letter, but remembered that it is against the rules, so scratched it i out. We are having a fine trip. The old ocean is as smooth as a floor, and I am now used to the vibration and roll ing of the ship. We passed several boats yesterday, but haven’t seen a solitary one today. I spend most of my time on deck in the good fresh air. It snowed a little this morning while I was out, whetting my appetite. “We have fine ‘chuck’ aboard this boat. I sit at the first table and have been getting late for breakfast, but won’t let it happen again. Today we had a meal fit for a king. It consisted of pea soup, the best I ever tasted; good bread, roast pork that was tender as chicken, potatoes and carrots; so you see how we are fed here. ‘Stephen and I are feeling fine. He hunted me up last night, and I found him this morning sweeping up quarters. They are going to give us boat drill this afternoon and keep it up 'the rest of the voyage. At 9 every morning we have to get on deck for exercise. That is a good thing, for some stick to their bunks like it was going io get away from them. This will keep us from getting sick. There is a big flock of gulls fol lowing us. They follow all the ships, and I wonder if they will go across with us. “There is a canteen on board, but I can’t buy anything, as Uncle Sam hasn’t kicked through with our pay. I will have a big stake when I get it. Say, you are supposed to get two allotments this month, Stephen’s and mine, and you want to let us know if you get them. Long for Letters. “I never got a letter from any of you while at the University, but hope they follow me across. Be sure to write often, for then I will get one once in a while. I am studying the foreign money values so I won’t be paying dou ble prices for things. This is all I think of now that will pass the censor, so will close. With love for all, “JAMES B. GURNEY.” “P. S.. 2:30 p. m.—Whitecaps are rolling and a storm is reported ahead. I will write as soon as I get to an other place where they take off mail. Hoping you are all well. I expect an answer for my birthday present. Saw (i big steamer this afternoon. She was about nine miles away. I will have a shot in the arm in the morning. JIM." Signs Up for $2200 of W. S.
