HIS TRIP OVER (Continued from page 2) having to sleep ’witTTa'irour dot lies nn, even, our shoes; ami having iw.it drills every morning and evening. During the night between the evening and morning drills no lights or smoking was allowed on the upper deck. These orders were enforced nil the way across, hut nn especially careful watch was kept the first couple of days out and again aH n neared our Journey’s end. It seems these 113th Engineers are l»oth lucky and unlucky. On our third day out we developed engine trouble and fell away behind the convoy. The destroyer stayed with us though, and was on the job all the time. It took over a day to make repairs and rasume the journey, but in less than two days we caught up with the convoy You see the ships take a zig-zag course for reasons that are self-evi-dent. While we were behind v.e quit zig-zagging, and that is the retson we overtook them so quickly. One cold, dark night, Sept. 25th, I think it was, just as we were entering the danger zone I was on watch between 10 and 12'o’clock. You see the ships run with no lights at all and it was hard to distinguish even the other vessels ot our own convoy. After my watch I spent about half an hour down in the kitchen drinking hot coffee. When I got to my hunk it was about 12:30 o’clock. I fall asleep immediately, hut was awakened in what serened to nte an awfudy short time by the boat drill alarm. I was always prompt in responding •and this time I leaped from my berth as usual and started for the deck. I had gone perhaps 10 feet when there was a dull thud, and the ship trembled all over. I knew then that it was something more than the customary morning drill. Almost evciy one kept his head, though, and we filed up the hatchway and to our places in better order than usual, even . here we stood shivering on the deck, j and the some thought was in nearly - every mind; not the fear of drowning, . (for we knew we would soon be picked up by other members of the con- , voy) hut the dread of going into that cold pitiless water. We were told to 1 . he quiet, that we had collided with '! another vessel in the dark and the - j extent of the damage had not been ascertained Imagine our relief when the officers told us to go back to our , t hunks, that the damage was not very •serious. A large hole had been torn > lin our bow, but the vessel was able • i to come in under her own steam. It is peculiar how men will act ta such cases. Most of us are a great deal like sheep or cattle, we follow he leaders. If one inan loses his head another is almost sure to follow him. Some great jokes went the rounds the next day. The. best is on a sergeant tin Co. B. He was awfully seasick -jand when the call sounded a friend * i tried to get him out but he refused, j saying “Tell ’em I’m too sick this : j morning.” The words were barely J out of his mouth when the crash came j He leaped from his bunk and yelliag 11 “Gangway for a sick man,” went tear1 1 ing up the hatchway, knocking men ’, to right and left. 1 The following day we were met bv s an escort of eight or ten destroyers | and cruisers, who took us into harbor , at Brest, France. On Saturday morn- - ing, Sept. 28, we sailed into the hur--1 bor, and at about 4:30 in the evening j we first set foot on French soil. It was a beautiful evening and though t the mud was deep and sloppy through 1 i the shipping yards and side-streets of Brest, we were in the best of spirits - and our pleasure was unbounded at [once more setting foot on terra (Irma. , I Our regiment has won a name on ■ ! this trip for spirit and hardihood. ’ There husky Snakes, Ridge-Runners | 1 and Hoosiers, with our year’s season-! ' ing in Mississippi are wild as Indians . and as sound as a dollar. According ' to reports, the regiment had the best | record of any that crossed the Atlantic, having very little real sickness and not losing a man by death Os the 4500 soldiers on the vessel, there were only three deaths, white oth‘ ‘ ‘ vessels in our own convoy had as many as 40. Spanish influ'.-za was responsible. And by t.h- way, we wete lucky in getting over here when we did, for that dread disease has not struck us over here. But to resume my story: j We marched about a mile out oi 1 j .town and camped in our pup tents in a small field. It was not raining when we landed there about 8 o’clock in the evening but the ground was damp and our outlook was anything lmt; pleasant.. Still, nobody grumbled, and l we went to work pitching our tents and getting a kitchen set up so we could get something to eat. We open-® ed up our emergency rations and corn beef and hard tack never lid taste so good before. The following morning it was raining, but we got a hot breakfast of bacon, bread and coffee just the same. It rained every

ing we knew not where, hut the solj dier doesn’t worry, just so he is mov- 1 | ing. That night was one of the most | uncomfortable I ever spent. It was j j cold and we had not had time to get | our car properly fixed. The next night j wit were prepared and though the car j was badly crowded we managed to j get a good night’s rest. Except for; | the above mentioned inconveniences ;we enjoyed the trip immensely. As | we got hack from the coast we traveled across fine farm country and otd j fashioned looking towns and villages, j i The farmer over here lives in a little village and travels to and from his

work in a big clumsy cart to which bis horses are hitched tandem fashion Their horses are big, clumsy and gentle, and lines are an unnecessary luxury in many cases. We passed through Versailles, and struck the outskirts of Paris in the night and didn’t get to see anything. From there we continued to the north east, arriving at our destination Friday night, Oct. 4th. W r e spent the evening in a little village whose name tve did not then know and the following morning marched to our camp a mile and a half away. (Continued on Page 6.)
