WITH THE MAINE BATTERIES.
Letter from One Of the Boys on the Tran
sport Mississippi.

day, 100 p. M.-(SpeciaD.-So far the voy-
age of the LIST Maine Volunteer Artillery
has been an uneventful one. We made a
quick run from Augusta to Portland. in
hour and so minutes, stopping only for
. few minutes at Brunswick for water.
At Portland we waited longer to shift
engines. Along the way, crowds, small
in number, greeted us. From Portland to
Boston a few stops We're made for water
and orders, but none of any length.
We arrived at Boston at about $50 and
were pushed down to Pier in East Bos-
ton of the Boston & Maine, where
we went on board the Mississippi by bat
teries. We unloaded our freight from the
cars and then loaded it onto the transport
until about 10 O'Clock, when the tide was
so high that ii was almost impossible to
work, SO it was delayed until about the
next morning, when the work was COM
pleted in two hours.
We left Boston at 6.15 A NJ. Sunday,
the pilot, who took us out, not deemins
it advisable to go out, Saturday night. on
account of the storm. After we left Bos-
ton harbor we encountered some rough
weather which lasted about four hours
and many were sick, but after that we
enjoyed good smooth sailing.
Now about our boat. She is a big one,
with single propeller, and averages u
knots an hour. She was formerly cattle
ship and but little wood is to be found OH
board. On the main deck are few rude
staterooms, which are occupied by the
officers, and at times longlegged boots
would be comfortable to go about in, as
the water is everywhere.
Below and forward is our freight Back
of this is messroom with three tanks
in which to make the coffee, and two for
the beef which we have. By the way, the
beef was loaded Oct. 4, and is fresh now,
being kept in cold storage, but covered
with mold, which has to be all cut off and
thrown away.
Below this deck is where the men sleep.
Upright posts, about Is inches apart, are
placed and hooks screwed into them. The
men are provided with hammocks and
sleep fairly we'll The hospital is forward
and the sick have cots. Battery is just
astern of this and Battery is in the
stern. Battery A occupies the whole deck
below, while Battery d is on the first
deck, just astern of the messroOm.
Since we left Augusta we had dinner
at Brunswick, of fresh bread and canned
corned beef. Supper at Boston, at
o'clock. Hot coffee and canned salmon
for breakfast. Sunday; smothered beef
for dinner; tomato stew for supper.
Salmon again for breakfast, Monday,
with fine beef stew for dinner, whole
side of beef being necessary for a meal.
All are well and expect to have good
