'Phis number of the Monitor, accord ng <o
Mr. Hill, was rather a difficult place
of work, irasmuch as it involved many
cuts and half-tom s.
The pro s, which is run by a five
horsepower Kimble variable speed elec
tric motor, togethe- w;th the other
! equipment of the shop, will enable the
oepartmenc to do a'.1 campus printing,
as well ns otuside jobs. Mr. Hall is
very well pleased with the press, and
i according to him an unlimited number
of jobs can be handled. There is a
big possibility that the Emerald will be
printed here next fall.

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."
