Nimrod Sound, China, Sept 19, 1904.
!ear Folks, One and All:
Your very welcome letter of August
12 wag received by ma on September 12,
Hud I was very glad to hear from home.
We have, as you see, changed our an
chorage, and are now 185 miles south of
there in Nimrod Sound. We are here
here for drill, and I tell you we get
enough of it. From 5 o'clock in the
morning until 9 o'clock at night it is
just "one round of pleasure," and we
have torpedo drill every night from 10 to
11 or 9 to 10-any old time they see fit.
I hope you will excuse this writing.
-If yo'i can't read it, let me know. The
ship is rolling about thirty degrees all
the time. We have a heavy ground
"well here; it makes it so nice, you
kuow. You have to hold on to keep
from falling off the earth. I just upset
Hn ink bottle. You can see the effect
of ltorithis page; spoiled everything
I had in my ditty box.
We haven't got paid yet; when we do
I Mill autid you thai souvenir and the
pictures. There is nothing at all here
no town, nothing but hills and water.
There are lots of Chinese pirates here.
It is the worst place on the China coast
for pirates, but they keep clear of a
tuau-o'-war have no business with
them at all. We are to go back to Woo
Sung the 23d of this month ; then we
get paid and four days' liberty. We
have had four days only once since we
left home ; so, if I should get back now,
I could get a 30-day furlough. Every
thing is dull here nothing doing and
we do not expect anything.
September 24 -Well, I think it Is
about time I finished this letter.
We got up anchor last night at 9 o'clock
and are now at anchor in Woo Sung.
I haven't bad time to finish this letter
any sooner, and I could not have sent
it if I had. We had heavy rain all the
way up here from Nimrod. Winter has
set in here in good shape, I guess, from
the looks of things. I don't know how
lougweareto be here this time not
long though.
Now I must close for this time.
W rite soon and send the papers. Good-
Shed.
