Olongapo, about 80 miles from Manila.
This place affords an excellent train
ing ground for / 900 or more marines.
Most of the service includes exciting
and oft times dangerous hikes" into
the mountains and among the native
tribes. The corporal describes the ma
tives as being race of negroes, little
fellows with straight black hair. They
live in houses that are elevated off
the ground, whole families, including
the pigs and chickens, sleep in one
room and all are inveterate smokers,
women as well as men. The chief
amusement of the men is cock fight
ing, nearly every man having his own
fighter. They gamble necessarily on
the outcome of the various battles
which they stage and ofttimes are
reduced to the extremity of betting
their own houses.
In May, 1910, Corporal Mccall, to-
gether with 200 other marines. was
ordered back TO the states. On their
way they visited Japan, where shore
leave was granted for several days
The trip across the ocean was along
the same route as that taken in going.
The marines spent 10 months at Homo
lulu, which has been dubbed the gar
den spot of the west because of the
prolific vegetation. From there the
party went back to Mare island and
from Mare island Corporal Mccall was
sent to Bremerton, Wash, where he
spent a month before being ordered
back to Philadelphia to embark on a
three months cruise along the coast
Of Europe. He was on the battleshir
Iowa. Stops were made at Ireland
where shore leave was granted SO thai
the marines could visit Cork and kiss

days; at Bergen, Norway, the land of
the midnight sun; at Gibraltar, and
thence back to the United States. The
entire cruise covered 1901 miles.
Thus are Uncle Sans marines re-
paid for their service during peace
times.
