thought we would go to the bottom before we
reached Manila Bay. The waves were as
high as the ship. Seven horses were swept

ing horses. We throw them overheard and
let them swim ashore. Some of them forget
which way to CO. and swan out into the bay.
We had / 900 head of horses on board and there
were 100 of us to take care of them on the voy-
age We are camping at place called Boo Boc
a little PHILIPPINE town. The men are drop
ping off one by one with sickness. The sun is
something fierce, and disease quickly multi
plies under its burning rays. The rainy sea-
son, too, is such that many of the boys will
never pull through it. We are continually
driving the Insurgents before us now and
can tell you its no fun, either. My comrades
and fight bravely and, if need be, they are
ready to dig your grave. They are now get
