Top Sgt. Adams, went out Water
melon Hunting, and after getting away
with two, was pinched by the village
Constable, but broke away. and ran
into Camp without even drawing a
second breath, and the best part Of
this episode, is that he devoured one
Of the melons, while on the run, and
brought remnants Of the second in with
him, to show proof Of his ability as a
water nqelon snatcher. Now we un-
derstand why the Sgt. has no desire to
gain weight.
