FROM
THE PHILIPPINES,
Edgar Duffey Arrives Safe
ly in the Parkway
Land.
MANILA, P. l. /
Oct 10 1870

DEAR PARENTS. Il will write
you few lines to let you know l
am well and hope you are the
same. We arrived Wednesday,
Oct. 11th, at T. M. This is a
very pretty place as far as l have
seen.
We had great trip--so great
that don't know whether | will
muster up courage to ever cross
the ocean again or not. We were
in one of the worst storms that
ever ragged on the Pacifc-a regu-
lar typhoon. We were battened
below for so hours. They did
not know where we were all that
time. The captain stayed at his
post up on the bridge. Pa knows
where that is. He had to lash
himself 10 the mast. One sailor
was washed overheard and drown
ed and many were burt. We all
thought we were goners. No one
can describe storm like that,
The waves were rs feet high AMI
an awful wind prevailed.
WsIl, things are very critical
over here. | guess the boys will
get plenty of fighting to do. This
is very pretty island 900 miles
long by $50 miles wide, with
8, 900, 900 of inhabitants. They
are regular negroes. To-day 100
ball cartridges were issued to each
of our men and it begins to look
like business. We will go south
of Manila think. There are
plenty of bananas. Cocoanuts,
oranges and lemons are ripe now.
A great many ships are here in
the harbor, also some English
gun-boats and the North Atlantic
squadron. | have learned as
much on this trip as one would
in lifetime around Denver. IL
was long ride-s4 days at sea-
and lost some clothes in the
storm. The hospital was washed
off the deck, but we all got ont
safely. Only one life-boat was
left, the others all being smashed
into kindling wood. l will close
this time hoping to hear from you
all soon.
Your Son,
