address counted too. We gave It to
the purser on the boat before we got
to port and in about ten minutes
(what followed hero in the letter was
erased by the censor) Not so sure
about the safe arrival, but it turned
out allriglit. L. K., Diven, Moudy
Harris, Cole, Wetzler and myself were
all on the boat and we are all O. K.
.Welcomed to City.
We were sure given the glad hand
when we got here. Everyone was
tickled to death to see us. There are
not hardly any more men here at all.
The women work on the street cars,
the streets, delivery wagons and ev
srywhere. There arc a fqw English
soldiers here some are wounded and
others are on leave. They have sure
been having a hard fight over there
ind we may go over in about three
.veeks. I would certainly like to get
some mail, but I guess it will be a
long time before any catches up with
me, but I hope all is well at home.

'Yankees" are singing "Are You From
Dixie" and believe mo it sounds good
to this "Yankee." There aro a bunch
of coons here; they are English sol-
licrs from the British West Indies, j
They talk American and are entertain
' ing us now. There are a few writing
at my table and you bet they can beat
me slinging jnk.
We did not go to bed on 'the boat
until after it got to port and we kept
our life belts on all the time. There
were none of us going to take any
chances, you bet. The houses here are
nil brick. I haven't seen a wooden one
yet. They are covered with shingles
and all look alike to me. The rail
roads look like toy railroads. The
cars are divided into five sections, and
the scats run crosswise and are not
connected. The doors open at the side.
The freight cars are really very small
and hold only about C to 10 tons. They
are fastened together with chains but
they travel pretty well.
Boat Was Torpedoed.
We were on the boat 25 days and
one more trip is all I care about
home. The Germans tried hard to get
our boat but we got by. They sent
word that they were gonig to try and
got us, but we put one over on them.
The ship is about 700 feet long and
holds 23,000 tons, so it would have
been a rich prize for those cowardly
Dutchmen. There nre lots of Fords
and Buicks here, but they turn to the
left and it keeps you guessing which
way they are going.
Well I guess I will quit. Wo will
stay at Southampton until further or-

dcrs but don't know whether or not
we will get any mail. Folks, I am

fine and liked the trip. I don't know
whether they will censor this or not,
but I hope they won't scratch it hard
if they do. Robert.
Girls Are Lonesome.
Southampton, England, Sept. 17.
Dear Folks: I am getting along fine
yet, and like England, and especially
the girls they get real lonesome now,
as there are very few boys left
We have signed up for schooling,
they call it the "Salvage School" so I
think wo will take care of the wrecked
machines and fix 'em up again. If
they don't expect nnything but shop
work from us wo will get along fine.
I will be in England somewhere I
think qlose to London I hope so as I
want to sec that big town. The wea
ther is very rainy the same way
Portland is in the winter so the people
don t pay much attention to it.
I heard that the torpedo hit our
boat, but did not explode.- That's gett
ing pretty darned close I think.,
I would like to have some of moth
er's canned fruit. The sugar is scarce
here. They only get one pound a week
per family.
Must close, as I want to get this
letter in early as tho mail goes across
about every oncu in so often. Love
from, Robert.
In London.
London, England, Sept. 25. Dear
Folks: Will drop you a few lines to
day. We left Southampton Sept. 20
and Harris and I came here. We are
the only ones out of our squadron
that stopped when wo did. There are
25 men in the bunch. We were quar
tered in a big 4 story hotel.
I haven't gotten to visit Londan yet,
but will later. Wo are in a sort of a
suburb district. I saw Buckingham
palace where the King lives when he
is in London, and I am going to .see
the rest of it too before long, because
it may be a long time before I get
to stop in this burg again.
There were several cases of mumps
on board and I guess Elmer and I
got them. At present they have us in
quarantine, but hope to be over the
mumps soon, and back to work again.
We have received no mail as yet.
Mus close we expect to be in Lon
don about three months. Love from
Robert.
1 London, England, Oct. 3. Dear
Folks: All kinds of mall received to
day and maybe you think I wasn't
glad to get it.
The fog is so thick here today that
people have to carry lights when they
go out into it in order to be able to
find their way.
I little dreamed this time last year
that this winter I would have the
pleasure of spending "abroad." Even
at that will certainly be glad when we
can come back to the "states."
We expect to be out of quarantine
and back to work the 10th.
We haven't heard a word from the
other boys since we landed. Well, I
will have to close. Robert.
