ALASKAN WRITES
 OF L|FE AT SEA
Robert Case Relates His Experience In the Transport Service On
 the Atlantic.

Robert Case, who had been em- ployed by the Alaskan Engineering commission some time ago at Camp 16 and who afterwards worked as fireman on the steamer Seattle No. 8, is now employed in the transport service and has made a few trips across the pond.
 The following letter, detailing his experences was received by Andy Hoey on the mail arriving yesterday: U. s. S. Meranke July l, 1918 Friend Andy:
 Well, old timer, I guess Old Willie's diving boats are not so slick as they think they are, for one of them came up few hundred yards from us on the way back and an Italian transport fired four times at it and hit it twice. but outside of that the trip was quite unevent- ful. There was a little excitement for a few seconds.
 We had a good quiet trip over, and smooth sea all the way, and laid there for over three weeks and had liberty every day. They sell wine to men, including me- over there, but I am on my good be- havior.
 Was seaman, first class, going over, but now am a ships quarter master, and was at the wheel going and coming; this is navy rating.
 'I am sure glad I came Outside last fall and enlisted, for this is a fine experience and something a man will never forget.
 France is some different from Alaska, for it was warm over there. We wore our white clothes all the time; but it is kind of dead, for you never see any young fellows, for they are all at the front; no slackers in that country, and no eats to speak of, and no amuse- ments..
 "The Americans are sure a happy bunch and they are all raving until they get orders to leave for the front, then they are happy. The Americans are going to make a name for themselves.
 'I suppose lot of the same old bunch are still there, playing freeze out; I wish I could walk in for a night myself.
 "Well, Andy, will close with best wishes to all my friends. "Yours,
 CASEY" Adress U. S. S. Meranke,
