I came out alive they laughed and
were going to tie a bag of shot to my
feet and let me off plank over the
side to practice on a burial at sea, but
l yelled for help and a cross looking
man came along and pardoned me, and
told the fellows to take me to his
cabin and wash the powder of my
face. and hold me until he could have
talk with me. When they had
secured me with piece of brick and
some yellow laundry soap. the man
came into the cabin, and the boys
who had hazed me said he was Admir-
al Evans. and remembered him cause

Japan and the Philippines. and that /
wanted to go along on his ship as a
mascot. or waiter or anything, and
he said he didn't know, but l would
be a good mascot, as last trip they
had a goat and a monkey for mas
cots. and l had combination of both,
and If he was going to make a trip
to hades, or any climate hotter than
the straits of Magellan, he thought l

He asked me what l could do and
l told him there was nothing that
couldn't do If properly encouraged,
anything, from flying a flag of truce
from the fighting top to riding up in
the ammunition elevator with 500
pounds of dynamite, to acting as the
propeller to Whitehead torpedo.
We talked it over for an hour and
he asked about Pa, and then he said
he would think it over, and he gave

told me to be on the front porch
of the Hotel Chamberlaine at nine

fleet we had passed over at Fortress

ships, and l was afraid could not get
there before 1t sailed, and secure my
berth, as l had made up my mind to
go with it around the horn, and help
fight Japan or mosquitoes, or any old
thing that came in the way, SO l
took the first train to Fortress Mon
roe. and found that the whole popula-
ticn of several nearby states were 60

to review the feet before it sailed.
The next day was at the hotel at
Old Point and with hundreds of other
people took launch and went out
Nnong the battleships. Everybody
was welcome to go aboard the ships.
and we visited several of them and
were shown all over the vessels by
the uniformed packs.
Gee, but a battleship is like a sky
scraper on water, and you can go from
the roof clear down half mile below
the water line, and 1t is like a combi-

and an apartment house, with rooms
to let on the European plan and all
of it in an iron coffin, liable to go to
the bottom any minute, if the air
tanks are punctured.

down cellar in battleship without
any life preserver, and when l went
up on deck. where l could jump over
