came upon the snake in a path and
and attacked it with stick. A
fight ensued and the reptile finally
wound itself around the lads ankle,
with its head against the instep.
Raising its body, the snake whipped
the boy across the back and arms

and ran.
Perrin was brought to Newport by
Perry Hooper. His wounds are

July 18th, 1918,
Mr.. d. J. EDWARDS,
Iuka, Miss,
Dear Mr.. Edwards:-I guess you
will be little surprised but am
keeping my promise. We are in one
OF the best naval training stations
in the world and the training they
are giving US is great. This navy
life is not going to be 80 bad after
all. OF course it is not like home
but it is much better than / expect
ed to find it. We have something
to do or somewhere to go all the
time, see and learn something new
every trip. / think / will be sent
to Boston for few weeks school
ing some time pretty soon, but we
never know anything. We are given
a Is minutes notice before leaving
camp and we have to keep every
thing ready to move any time.
have met several fellows that /
knew at school and it certainly
makes you feel good to meet a
friend this far away from home.
Bob Mcknight and Bob Jackson
are in camp just across the bay but
| can't get to see them for some
time yet. wish you could see US
60 thru with drill and exercises ev-
cry morning while flag is being
raised. Every man dressed exactly
alike and doing exactly the same
movements and all are made to the
tune OF a marine band, and there
are thousands OF US on the field at
same time, They don't keep us in
training station very long. Fifteen
hundred fellows are leaving tonight
to help mann some new ships. 1t is
very likely that we will be put on
transport or freighter carrying sup
plies to the boys over there" Our
battle ships are here in dry dock, or
at least two of them are, the Mis-
sissippi and the Arkansas. They
are some monsters, but | am
afraid that we are not going to
have chance to use them for some
time yet.
Our navy is now the strongest the
world has ever known and rs grow
ing all the time. To give you some
idea of its power it has been cal
culated that it would take fifteen
minutes time for our navy to level
New York City to the ground. !
don't know just what branch of
service will take up yet, there are
SO many things / can do. The
work they have given us so far has
been play to me. We do our own
washing and the cleaning up, scrub
bling floors, have to take hammocks
out every morning, hang them just
so. Have to take them in at noon.
Every knot has to be tied just SO
rope wrapped seven times around
hammock and dashed just exactly;
everything has to be done Just ex-
actly right here. 1t is going to be
great school for us.
There is a good crowd of Mis-
sissippi fellows here and have met
some fine, friendly fellows. Have
gotten along fine so far and will
continue to do so.
don't see much chance of get
ting back to Iuka until after the
war but you can bet l will be there
then.
Bugle has blown and that means
to bunk in five minutes. The great
est thing | have seen thus far in the
navy is the Y. NJ. G. A. They
make pleasant moments possible
for us; something interesting all Me
time. Some talks from greatest
men in America.
Will be glad to hear from you at
any time. Will write to you when
l get over there"
