one or two nights while we were over
there and we would come over to this

There is a big skating rink here
and since I've learned to skate we
usually 60 out there. The cars quit
running here at 10 o'clock and we
had to walk back to the shipyards.
We got lost and finally ran into

about two miles and came out right
at our boat. The tunnel goes under

first time in a month. Got ten

several times to get my allotment

Our canteen opened up here yester-
day and now we are able to get lit
