U. S. Marines Landing at Vera Cruz
done after a fight it would be done by
the marines, because the beggars al
ways get there first. 1t is whispered
in Vera Cruz that certain marine pri-
Yates had new Oliver typewriters for
sale at Sc apiece after the taking of
the naval academy and automatic pis-
tolls for So, and bottles of perfumery
for 10c. The Mexican naval cadets
apparently used perfume instead of
water from the quantity of scent
found, The market on perfumery
was weak, however, dropping to 3@5c
Marines are called leather necks,
sailors "hat feet" infantry dough
boys" artillery wagon soldiers"
coast artillery window soldiers"
Nickname for cavalry omitted
In Vera Cruz, after the town was
taken, the marines were given the
sandhills, the wireless, and the pump
ing station to hold The sandhills
form a Gordon around behind the city
from sea to sea.
/ can't imagine a more unpleasant
place of residence than the sandhills.
They are from so to 300 yards high
There is some prickly cactus at the
base and few tropical withered
weeds, but on the SUBMITS where the
marines are there is only sand, sun,
and sand lice.
The sand $s yielding as mud; one
goes in above ones ankles at every
step, but it is as dry as powdered alum
and as hot as war
The sand blows and flows about al
most like little waves of water, and
the unending labor of the marines on
the sandhills is to dig the sand out of
their trenches again and again and
again.
The trenches are standing trenches,
about feet or 5 feet deep, shored
up within by corrugated tin siding and
braced with boards.
Looking inland toward Mexico, as
far as the eye can see are the same
rolling hillocks of shifting sands. In
of the dominant positions
as the marines are, it doesn't seem |
that the whole Mexican !
nation in arms could take Vera Cruz |
away from the force we have there |
already. The sand hills back of Vera
Cruz are devilish to live on but highly
iefensible.
