After a ftlght, and maybe a fight, a small chew of Real Gravely braces Aim up for another trip (From Tuesday's Dally,) Tho fed In KB of thoso aboard the Tuscanla as that vessel was sinking nro depicted to a dogrco in tho fol lowing letter, which has been re eolred in this city by Mrs. Jack Ar nold, a sister of tho writer. Mention is also made In the letter regarding a Bond boy who was among thoso lost when tho vessel was struck. Tho letter follows: England, March 8, 191S. Dear Jack: Not much to write about, but will scratch off a short bullotln. Wo are pretty well cooped up here, not allowed downtown since we landod on this sido unless we go Jthrough on a hike, so our daily pas time Is drill morning and afternoon. Expect to get out of hero most any day now. Havont received a bit of mail slnco leaving tho States. Saw a few New York papors with accounts of the Tuscanla in them. I know Stevens' folks must be pretty well broken up over tho lad's death. Ho was as fine n kid as I've ever known. Dlako took his death pretty hard, felt sort of responsible for him, but ho did the only thing ho could have dona under tho circumstances. As soon as tho shot hit tho boat tho men all Joined their respective squads and Dlako and Stevens belonging to dlf "ferent squads wero separated and unfortunately Stevens got into tho boat which later was shattered on tho rocks, wo think. Blake's squad got away on a destroyer, though they had a narrow shave, and for about ten long minutes, which seemed aa eternity, whllo our boat, tho tacklo choked, hung In an almost perpendicular position. I was sure my time had come. Perhaps you can imagine to some extent how that would feel suspended about CO feet above tho ocean with boats and Ufa rafts under you, -with between 65 and 60 men in each. We never hung to anything as we clung to that line -which was all that was between us And eternity. You will never know what an awful scone It was to gazo from tho countenance of one bravo man to another and seo grim death stamped on their brows. Wo ex pected to havo our boat turn com pletely over; as it was, our boat finally dropped down and hit a life raft and . We had a deuce of a time getting off that. The Impact sprung some ot the planking so that tho boat began taking water right away, but we managed to keep from sinking by balling with two small cans and an officer's cap for about two hours, until a destroyer picked us up. "Oh, some wild night, John." Blake swears every day he has quit writing until we get some mail, but he will be over at the table In a minute Inflicting his friends just as I am doing. He Is sure a great pal and I'm sure I ought to know by this time. We have Just Invested In a loaf of bread and a can of jam and will adjourn to a corner and discuss the mail situation and when wo will leavo for France, the two subjects we sre most incapable of coping with. Our llfo is not all joy, but keep our little lunch pails full and tho 20th Engineers will build a littlo trench in one of William's ears and out the other. Send us mall, papers, a post, or anything that looks like the States. Lovo to May and kiddies. HEYERMAN G. COROAN, Co. D, 6th Battalion, 20th Engineers. 3s .W-m.
