Mrs. Delia Hallock sends us the
following interesting letter, rececived
just received from her son, Sidney
Hiillock, who is now in the service
of Uncle Sam. The letter covers a
trip from Honolulu to the Philippine
I Islands, where Sid is now and where
he may be stationed for some time.
The many friends of Young Hallock
in Heppner, his native city, will be
glad to bear from him.
Aboard IT. S. A. T. Logan
Honolulu to Guam, May 17, 1918.
Dear Jlother:-
I'll just write my impressions of
Honolulu while I have them in mind.
I wrote the whole thing on shore
j though so probably won't be able
! to add much.
At my first view of the city I was
somewhat disappointed because I ex
pected to see a much larger town.
All we could see was a few large
j buildings around the docks, and trees
at the back of them, But as we
went into the city wa found there
were houses undernei.-ti those tress.
Well, the first thing we had to do,
naturally, was to eat. So I looked
on the bill of fare and among other
things I saw turtle steak. So I or
dered the same and found it verv
palatable. It tasted more like veal
than anything I have eaten. Also
ate some fried bananas. Bananas
are cheap here, you can get them for
ten cents a dozen, and eocoanuts
are ten cents each. There is a kind
of a melon they grow on the
Hawaiian Islands called the papaai,
or something of the sort and they
look like very large cucumbers and
the meat is red like a pumpkin. I
dont like the taste of them. There
are all kinds of trees and shrubs,
very few that I had ever seen before.
They have good car lines and
good service, the cars being all
open. After I wrote you my last
letter some of us went up to a hill
they call the Punch Bowl. It is
lava formation and we had a fine
view of the city. It is very pretty
and no fooling. We also went out to
Waikikl and went in swimming.
The water is warm, actually I
never imagined the sea water could
be so warm. You know at home, no
matter how hot the day, the water
will nearly always freeze the dickens
out of you but such is not the case
here. I also went on one of those
surf boats you read about and had
more fun than a little floating out
there and then taking the breakers
feet' first. It Is a long shallow beach
but it had coral bottom and hurts
your feet when you stand up.
However, Honolulu is not what is
before the war. The Government is
discouraging too much festivity.
The town is dry and everything im
moral is closed. The streets are
very clean and you don't see a heap
of rubbish anywhere. There are
cans along the streets to throw the
rubbish into. I tried to find a dance
but there was no dance going on
that night, and some of the boys
were rather disgusted the next morn
ing because they were unable to find
any girls. I met a fellow sailor
who had been stationed there for
three or four months and he was
plumb disgusted with the place,
He admitted that the scenery was
great but said you could see it all
in a week, and there wasn't any
thing else but scenery there. It was.
funny, but anywhere you went
around the town, you saw some of
the transport bunch. I only wish
you could see some of the stuff I
am seeing.
We are all in whites now. It i,
so hot that you can't wear anythiiiR
else and feel decent. It is nuite a
job to get your whites clean with
salt water but I would rather wash
than roast, so I wash. I am sleeping
on the deck now all the time, and
have found a good place to swim;
my hammock, but even outside it i:
nrettv hot. I just lay in my ham
mock without any covers. They teii
me we will get to Manilla just in lime ;
for the rainy season, but that is all j
right with me; anything like fresh
water has a peculiar fascination fi,r
Die.. We have to put out tarpaulius
to protect us from the hot sun.
May 21st, Tuesday. 1 have lost
a day so I thought I would write and
see if you have seen anything of it
over there. Last night when we
went to bed, It was Sunday, Hay 1!),
but today 1 woke up to learn that it
was Tuesday. During the nijht we
crossed the International date line,
or the 180th meridian and lost a day
by so doing. I understand that we
will pick it up when we come hack,
but if anything should happen that
we circumnavigate the globe and
come back by continuing to go west,
I shall always regret the day I lost.
It seems that we will move into
the, rainy season out here or the
season corresponding to
Guam, where a bunch of our marines
will leave use, and I understand we
will pick up some more.
Gaum, May 30, 1918. Thia ep
istle progresses rather jerkily but I
have it in the drawer of my desk
and write whenever I feel in the
mood, or when anything happens.
We are off Guam now as they
anchor out in the bay and no en
listed men are allowed on shore.
The channel is not deep enough to
permit the boat going up to dock, so
we get our impressions of Guam
at a distance. They are unloading
cargo by means of lighters or scows.
There are a lot of natives working.
They look something like Philip
pinos but they call them something
else. The natives came around in
boats and sold cocoanu's for five
cents and bananas for ten cents a
dozen. Today the ship gave apples
to the enlisted men the first time,
and they traded them to the natives
one apple for six bananas. The
bananas are fine tasting ones too;
they are the little short ones. It is
certainly true that the bananas that
tret rine on the trees are better than
the ones that are picked green.
Same Old Ship, June 3, 191S. We
are still going out win soon oe in
Manilla in two or three days now.
June 4, 19 IS. We are going
through the Philippine Islands or
among them to be more exact. We
expect to dock at Manilla sometime
tomorrow morning, and I'll write
again from there if I am able to
rustle some stamps, so I will dose
this bunch of rubbish and c.;il it a
letter. I have held my job all the
way over and had good grub so I
have no kick coming at all. Also
the place where I slept was fine as
it was out on the deck as I have
said, so on the whole, I have had a
nict' trip and to a certain extent an
interesting one, although I did not
see a great deal that I had not seen
before. These Islands look from a
distance like the islands out on
Pttgot Sound and about Southwestern
Alaska, but probably they will look
different close up. The future
probably holds a lot of interesting
things for me, and if it is possible,
for you, too.
Goodbye and love to all.
SID.
Lend Your Pennies

Canaeoa, P. I., June 11, 1918.
Dear Mother:-
I am on shore again and U seems
pretty nice to be off of that trans
port . You will notice the address
Canaeoa which is the Naval Hos
pital near Cavite. We are here for
two weeks in dention again and
vaccinated once more. One of the
fellows remarked that if they kept up
the present rate of vaccination, they
would be getting us up and vaccin
ating us every morning before
breakfast. We don't have anything
to do but keep our quarters clean,
and a little mess duty, or K. P. as
they say in the Army. It seems nice
to get plenty of fresh water to wash
clothes.
I should have knocked wood when
I wrote the foregoing for I hadn't
any more than finished writing it
when they grabbed me for one of a
working party and we had to pile
up sugar, flour and case goods. Be
lieve me I got up some perspiration,
and you don't have to work very
hard in this man's country to get up
a sweat- It's pretty hot but still
not uncomfortable in the shade. We
don't wear any blouses, just under
shirts. It will be sun shiny weather
and hot, when suddenly a cloud will
come up and it will rain like
thunder for a few minutes, then
dear up and be nice again. The
Phiiippinos don't pay any attention
to the rain just go on working as
ir it were not raining.
We didn't get to see much of
Manilla for we just got off the trans
port and onto another boat that
took us over here. But on the
street I saw an auto, a horse and a
carriage, a street car and several
carts drawn by water buffaloes.
There are lots of little cabs or enr
rabaMs and the horses are littie bits
of things about the size of a Shetland
pony. The drivers keep pounding
them on the back all the time. It
looks funny to see one of those little
! horses pulling two or three men bo
sides the driver.
Well I'll write more when I have
more to write. Address my mail,
Naval Station, Cavite, P. I., until 1
tell you different.
