q short time we lost sight Of them.
They followed along the coast, while
cur course was farther out and through
the Windward Passage to the east of
Cuba, then to the south and west.
About seven miles out of Charleston
harbor we passed Fort Sumpter of
historic report, but all we could see
was high wall and dim outline of
guns. The weather was glorious all
along the journey. We entered the
Passage early on Saturday, and passed
near San Salvador and Cat Island,
where Columbus landed so many years
ago, We saw small islands all day
There were l440 people on board, 800
mules and horses, one lonely little
Jersey COW belonging to Major Logan,
"a cases of hospital supplies, $4,000
feet oflumber. %, 200 pounds of freight
and other things too numerous to
to mention. The Minnewaska is said
to be one of the finest transports in
the government service, and she GER

Kept up as far "a, possible while on
board. Bugle calls were sounded and
we were startled by a fire
call; then the boats were hastily low
cred. Sometimes it was truly serious
as one of the ambulanceS took fire but
was soon eXtinguiShed.
Monday, Jan. 2, we were in sight of
the Cuban coast. There could be seen
all along chain of mountains slOping
away from the coast. AT
about 10 a. m. we sighted first a block
house, near which was Siboney, where
the American troops landed before
the battle Of Santiago. About II a.
M. we passed within two miles Of San
tiapo Bay, where the remains of MORO

her highest pinnacle hoated the starry
flag, and perhaps we didn't cheer to

To The CHANUTE TIMES,
Chanute, Kan.
l would like to speak to my Kansas
friends who are interested in my trip
to Cuba, and will try to describe it.
We broke camp at Americus. Ga,
Christmas day; were busy all day
packing, and left the day following
for Charleston, S. G. The Twelfth
New York was ordered to Matanzas
and with them our hospital corps.
We had very pleasant trip to Char
lesion, arriving the 9th and remain
ing until the 30th. We nurses spent
the time quite pleasantly sightseeing.
But the soldiers had little time or
privilege, as SC many were detailed
for guard duty, unloading the cars
and helping load the transport Mani
toba.
Charleston is very quaint old city,
with narrow streets and low buildings
and some show the ravages of time
and earthquakes The city is nearly
surrounded by water, and is so stu
ated it seems to form horseshoe,
On one side overlooking the bay is the
Old Battery, now beautiful park,
We visited St. Michael church, 1877
years old, which was almost destroyed
by earthquakes, but repaired. We
climbed $50 steps to the belfry, saw
the eight bells that chime, and on up
to the top was little portico from
which we could overlook the city in
all directions. Another point Of in
terest was the Magnolia Cemetery
about five miles from the city. The
electric cars run out and make it a
pleasant ride. Tie grounds are laid
out beautifully and the shrubbery in
such artistic designs, and everything
is so green and flowers blooming.
The day before we were to sail, or
ders came for ten nurses to be trans
ferred from the Manitoba to another
transport lying alongside, bound for
Cuba, carrying the 9th Ohioregiment-
al officers and hospital corps to Glen
feugos. l was among the ten appoint
ed to go, and it was great disap-
pointment to me and to all at first to
have to leave our comrades and friends
and the many soldier boys who had
been our patients. There were al
ready five nurses aboard the Mime
waSla from the camp at Knoxville,
in all fifteen trained nurses
and leaving twenty-one aboard the
Manitoba, We tried to be cheerful
and make ourselves happy with our
new acquaintanees, in which we sue
ceeded admirably.
The soldiers and hired men worked
very hard loading the vessels, first
with the hospital supplies and pro-
visions, then with the mnles and
horses, and lastly 1900 soldiers board
ed each ship. 1t was an interesting
sight to see and the wharf was black
with people. AT last we were all on
board, everything loaded, the last
good-byes said, and at high tide, 1880
a. M, Dec. 30th, both transports
pushed out from Charleston harbor
amid many cheers and the waving of
myriad handkerchiefs from the people
ashore; and between the Manitoba
and the Minnewaska some of the ten
nurses shed tears as they caught the
last glimpse Of familiar faces on the
Mani toba, for, while we were bound
for the same land, we were bound in
