SHATTUCK BROS.
From Our Boys
U. S.S. C. 181, New York, Apr. 2!)
Dear Friends :
I will write you once again as I
,liuve nothing to do thin evening
and am thinking of Witpinilia. I
received such a nice from Mrs.
Fliiin in reply to my Inst that J
thought I would write again. 1
have had a couple of changes of
home since 1 wrote pou last.
From the Granite Slate I was sent
to a place out by Coney Island
Hensonhurst which was formerly n
summer resort. 1 was g'ven
ipmrters in a front room overlook
ing the Atlantic ocean, but even
that didn't satisfy me, a I found
a great 'many other objection!) to
the place. The first day I was
there the order was given for ev
erybody to don working clothes.
We were then loaded an to S. 1',
1217 and taken right up through
Niw York's harbor and landed at
Hohoken, N. Y, Here we put in
the greater part of the afternoon
silting on ihe dock. About 4 p.
in. the Levitbian came in from
France. The Levil.hian is the
largest ship nlloat and was form
erly the Vaterland of Germany.
At the outbreak of the war she
lisppend to be in American ports,
so was inturned here. When the
United iStlites declared war on
Germany she was taken over and
put into service as a transport.
On this trip over she brought ihe
prisoners which were captured off
a German U boat by the U. S. S.
Fanning"." There were several sol
diers returning from "over there"
for medical discharges.
We had supper on the Levitbian
and then got aboard our boat and
went back to Bensonhurst, Wnile
out in the river we could look one
way and see the largest steamship
alleat, look the other and see the
tallest oflice building on earth,
the Woohvorth, look up the river
and General Grant's tomb was
visible.
The next day I was assigned to
Sulftiarine Chaser 181 and trans
ferred to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The 181 is a boand new boat, built
at Nyak, N. Y. It is 110 feet
long by about 14 feet at the beam.
1 he government has given us a
wonderful equipment, everything
from a cannon to fish hooks. The
living qualers are all below deck
and we have no stairways. When
you wish to go below you lift a
hatch cover and climb down a
ladder. About the only structure
abova the deck is the .pilot house.
We have our quarters fixed more
convenient than lots of peoples'
Inmie3 are. Our drinking water
is stored in tanks located in tLe
bilge. By eacl- wash basin and
at the" gaily sink there' is a small
hand pump. If you want a bucket
of water you pump it just like you
would from a cistern on Juniper
Flat. When I came aboard the
boat was not in commission. We
went in . commission Saviirday.
Everybody put on their dress blues
and lined up on deck and gave a
right hand salute as the (lag was
run up at the stem, the Union
Jack, the bow and our commission
penant at ihe mast head, A man
stood at each placeand the three
were run up at once. A chief pet
ty officer aead som papers to us,
then the skipper icad another
paper issued by the commandant
saying that he wis requested to
act as skipper on S. C. No, 1S1,
etc. We were then in commission
and everybody was di mksed,

On the streets you meet soldiers
and sailors of nil nationalities,
some of which go hobbling along
on cruMies or canes. They are
having sham battles in the streets
and lectuns from automobiles
decorated ( with red, white and

Every scheme imaginable has been
got up to sell bonds, lam very
