Dear Mr.. Lake:
As l have few minutes to spare
will try and tell you something of the
life aboard ship. At FIVE the bugle
sounds revei,!s, when all hands must
turn out and lash up their hammocks,
at five fifteen all hammocks must be
slowed in the netting and if you are
late and SO unfortunate as to get
caught. it is your hard luck to do a
little double time around the quarter
deck with your bed and hammock on
your back. At six thirty all hands
pipe down to mess. From seven until
eleven thirty the time is taken up in
school, painting ship, or instructions.
From one until three thirty the same
routine continues. At four p. m. fresh
water is turned on and we scrub and
wash clothes. We have supper At 1--WE.
At seven. hammocks pipe down and we
all go to sleep.
l have seen, for the first
time, big guns being fired. 1t is some
sight to see. When 4 twelve inch gun
is fired it just raises you OF your feet,
If you are standing near. After the
gun is fired, if you look close you may
see the shell in fight The best re
semblance that l could gire you would
be is that it looks like = black base
ball being thrown with great speed.
When one of these shells hit the water
you can see it raise again just like
skipping \ rock over = pond Il can
be seen skipping the water IS far Is
the eye will carry.
As have to go on watch viii close
for this time. l am well and never
felt better in my life.
Come on boys, the Nsvy is great.
