Begging Miss Satterlund's S pardon,

81 had % days of leave due me and
thought had better use it and now
would probably be my only opportun-

and New York, which would want
to see before going west again. And
then too, wanted to see some ram1l-

good to see the North Dakota people.

trip of about an hour and which was
a fine chance. of seeing that part of
that wonderful city.

they arrived, and the first one I saw

Mrs. Hellstrom kindly asked me to
join them, and I was with them at
the launching. The North Dakota
people were treated fine in every way
had splendid place to view the boat
and everything. 1t was a wonderful
|sight to see that huge boat slide down
the ways into the water, with hitch,
