On August 2 Private J. NJ. Tinnelholm
of Company H. First Colorado volunteers,
died of dysentery and was buried at sea.
Six days later Private Frank B. Lindsey,
also of Company H, died OF malarial fever
and was buried a sea. There was con-
siderable grumbling among the men be-
cause the bodies were not brought home,
but there were not proper embalming
facilities on the ship and no means of
keeping the remains so they had to be
buried at sea.
Corporal H w. McCauley of the First
Colorado is an old neWspaperman. He
is one of the Yale IS boys and a brother
of Major c. A. H. McCauley of the regu-

"The run from Manila to Nagasaki was
not very pleasant one" said he last

the cold. When we got up to Al north
some of us nearly froze to death.
Strange to say we left Manila on the
very day, July Is, on which we landed at
Luzon just one year before. Soon after
leaving port we got into the tail end OF
a typhoon and for forty-eight hours we
pushed through it, but in order to do so
he would have had to batten down every
thing and that would have been a terrible
hardship for the sick men. They were
sure we were lost at Nagasaki and were
getting a. boat ready to send out and look
for US when we got there.
"All the volunteers in the Philippines
are right good fellows and they fight as
though they were veterans. All of them
are anxious to get home, but still they
are willing to remain until Uncle Sam
can fill their places.
''When we left San Francisco last year
Colonel Irving Hale was in command of
our regiment but last September he was
promoted to be a brigader general and
placed in charge of the second brigade
of the second division of the Eighth
Army Corps. He got a leave of absence
and left Manila with us on the Warren.
At Yokohama he and Mrs. Hale left us,
however. and will come home via Homo
lulu on the Doric We are all glad to be
home again and mighty glad to hear that
we will be mustered out in San Fran

Fireman J. McComb was the cause of
the mutiny on the Warren. He was sick
during the run to Manila and no one
he was only shamming and the day the
trouble began he was drunk. When the
launch was going ashore he got into it
and refused to go aboard again when
Captain Hart ordered him. He was car
ried on deck and then called Captain
Hart every name he could lay his tongue
to- For that he was put in irons and a
few hours later twenty-five of the firemen
struck,
Captain Hart called them all before him
and asked them what was the cause of
ali the trouble They said they would re-
fuse duty until McComb was taken out of
irons The captain refused to give the
fireman his liberty, and explained to the
men the trouble they were making for
themselves. They said they would take
the chances Captain Hart then reported
the matter to Transport Quartermaster
Major s. A Cloman, and he called the
men before him and stated that ii was a
case of mutny. He called them off by
name and asked each fireman if he would
go back to work and each one of the
twenty-five said no"
Next day the matter was reported to
the military authorities, but before the
soldiers came out to march them ashore
the ffiremen went to Captain Hart and
asked that they be allowed to go to work.
