 Letter From Gump in Brewers Pos .\ session.
 My Dear Master: I want to write you how I feel when I am getting a whipping. That fact in itself signifies that I am entirely submissive to you but only strengthens the desire to do better in the future.
 "The possibility of not receiving punishment even after I have pre- pared for it is always there, but I shall always hold the thought of pun ishment if I do.
 If I do not do better and aGain disobey your commands, I will receive a much harder whipping. z
 "The whip does not look very prom ising as. it was made for punishm ent, and it naturally fills rs2 with fear, the same as in the course of training. The whip on my back makes me feel keenly the mistake I have made that necessitates my being punished. The whip makes me dread punishment. and fills me with the desire to escape the punishment # #

 Mr. Moves further declared that every auti-slbmarine craft is armed with guns throwing twelve or four teen pound explosive shells and many have 1000 yards of steel netting trailing behind them. All home waters are mapped out in blocks and each block has its own patrol.
