December 10, 1918.
"Dear Folks: As we most likely will j
be quite busy when we reach Panama j
i ll start in now as we oo not have
much time to write in port. So far has
been a very pleasant trip for me, out
side of the hard work. Wasn't bother
id with sea sickness, although the sea
was rolling considerable the first two
days out. We have been in sight of
coast until yesterday, (eight days out
from Portland.) It seems like our first
stop will be Balboa at the canal. At
present are quite well down the Mexi
can coast. I was hoping we would get
to stop at Frisco, but nothing doing.
Passed there at 8 p. m., and could see
the lights plainly. This evening while
looking out over the sea saw two
whales spouting water. I am on the
twelve to four o'clock shift and get
ting used to it now, so do not mind it.
Several of the firemen are up for high
er rating, then I'll be first-class, as am
head fireman on our time now. The
extra pay looks good to a fellow, and
we sure earn lt. Will write more in a
few days.
Later Friday, Dec. 13. (Get that?)
Have been hitting up a steady gait
without a stop and are now getting
down in the sunny south. The after
noons are quite warm with a cool
breeze blowing off shore. We passed
the southern end of the Peninsula of
Lower California today at noon. We
.golPIL B.?"&J?L the rate of eborn
weather tor December. Was so hot
night before lust I almost dropped, but
fresh air and a rest put me In commis
sion again. What we can see of Mexico
and Sntral America nls sure some hot
scenery, just barren mountains and
now and then a light house. No won
der the natives are hard-boiled and
blood thirsty. The past week the sea
has been smooth as a board walk, ex
cept wheu the tide goes In and out.
Can see deep sea turtles, porpoise, fish
whales, etc., but It Is so hot now the
sea gulls have all left us. Is too hot In
i our quarters so we sleep on the poop
tut'. ns iw m snaue on nee a aim
135 in the fire room. Is such a contrast
long before we came down here, we
were freeilng around Bremerton and
here we never have anything but a
light undershirt on, sleep on dock
with one blanket at about halt mast
'TIs the 20th of December now, will
lay off and write again when we get
there.
Colon, Rep. of Panama, Dec'24.
Dear Folks: We arrived at Balboa
yesterday noon, stayed there last night
and came through the canal today
forty-eight miles of canal, forty feet
deep and one hundred fifty feet wide.
The city of Balboa Is all United States,
: and believe me is a swell place. All the
government buildings are there and
also the houses for the workers here.
It is like a big park. The way it Is
laid out with tropical trees and plants
growing everywhere. Has a large hos
pital, navy yard, government commis
sary and the swellest Y. M. C. A.,i
ever saw. It was the first place I head
ed for on getting ashore and Ice cream
and lemonade "went out of sight" fast
for awhile. We left at six a. m. and
came through the canal. It sure was
some sight and especially Gatun locks.
We are really at Cristobal now but
Colon is right by the side of It Took
about fifty "niggers" three hours to
fill the coal bunkers here. Have moved
out from the coaling plant and anchor
ed In Llraon Bay. Will soon be oft for
dear old New York. Must get to sleep
now. As ever. FLOYD. i

U. s. s. Western Belle, U. S. N.,
ew York City, Jan. 7, 1319.
Dear Folks: Am back in civilization
again. Arrived here this morning after
being twelve days enroute from the
canal zone, and twenty-one days on the
Pacific side, and thirty-three days out
from Portland the whole trip. We
are anchored right under the statue
of Liberty with a thousand camou
flaged ships all around us. We left the
canal zone December 26 and was Just
north of Cuba New' Year's day. On
Xmas day we cleaned boilers, etc., but
this time am on auxiliary watch so I'll
not have to do that. Had a good trip,
no rough sea, but hot as "hades," a few
days near the zone. Was sure sur
prised on waking this morning to hear
that Theodore Roosevelt, the world's
best man, had passed away. All the
ships have flags at half mast in honor
of him.
Speedy destroyers run around the
harbor here like Fords. Tonight two
large hydroplanes went by and made
more noise than a sawmill. The Levia
than, the former big German liner, is
Just across the Hudson from us and,
believe me she is some "baby." We
Just arrived in time to get into the
cold weather here. New York is not
such a swell town as its "cracked" up
to be. They have some fine buildings,
but most of It is the other way dirty
and streets, sidewalks, etc., in very
poor condition even Broadway is cob
blestones. Later, January 17. Broadway, but
is not what I expected to see. Talk
about saloons. There are six or seven
to every block in some sections. We
three months' trip go to Naples, Italy,
(hen to Constantinople la the order
now. It will be qulto awhile before
you hear from me again. Hoping you
are all well here's good bye and good
luck, for a twelve thousand mile trip,
