On board q. S. S. Machias, Puerta
Plata, Dominican Republic, July 5, 1914
E.O Strickland, Floris, Iowa. Dear
Uncle-I suppose you have seen by
the papers that things have livened
up a bit down here. We wouldn't trade
places with any ship In the fleet now.
You know Uncle Sam gave both
sides orders not to fire any artillery
on tho town, or we would take hand.
Week ago last Friday in the afternoon
the fellows in the hills started firing on
the town. It wasn't noticed at hrst as
there was a heavy rifle fire all day.
The mail orderly came aboard aDout
supper time with piece OF shrapnel
that had burst by the U. S. consul S
house. We hadn't noticed him coming
aboard with it, SO didn't think we
would do anything.
The bugle sounded general quarters
and we broke the record getting to our
gun stations. One gun fired a shot to
find the range then we turned loose all
our four inch guns on their battery.
Two broadsides and they quit and took
over the hill. We couldn't see the ef-
fects of the shells, but the officers who
had field glasses, said they never saw
such scared bunch of men.
A few days after that they burned
the shacks they were living IN, SO
suppose they moved to a cooler Gil
mate.
Last Sunday morning they had quite
a battle. They began at daylight. we
are close to the shore, so we sa"
pretty plain. The presidents forces
had captured trench close to the
town during the night SO the Puerto
Platins made grand charge on them.
We could see men dropping all along.
They got their trench back but lost
sixteen men and bunch wounded.
How did you celebrate the Fourth!
We didn't have much OF program.
One boat race and a swimming race
in the morning. The South Carolina
and Machias both fired national sa-
lntes at noon, The collier Caesar IS
hara. 10 all the ships looked pretty
nice "full dressed" suppose you
know what that Is. A line strung with

We coaled ship Thursday. only
takes about 40 tons for this boat.
We got another mail the same night
we fred on the battery. Was sure glad
to get the stamps, for they are scarce
here. Got six letters, also the papers
The Algonquin came In last week
