and Joyce and Hill lifted 1t and got
1t e the side with a rope to IL. The
two of them got down into the water
all right. but Joyce let out a yell be-
cause the water was so cold, and a
German patrol boat heard him and
flashed a searchlight. They picked up
Joyce right away. but Barney was
making good Roadway and was almost
free when they dragged him In. They
beat them up on the patrol boat, and
when they put them back on the
Yarrowdale Badewitz beat them up
some more and put them In irons.
Then he began to shoot at their feet
with his revolver, and he had a sailor
stand by to hand him another revol-
yer when the first n was empty.
Then he would cash their faces with
the barrel of the revolver and shout,
I'm Badewitz. I'm the man who
fooled the English" and shoot at them
some more.
All the while the sailors were cele-
brating. drinking and eating. and yell
ing, as usual, and the whistles on all
the German ships were blowing, and
they were having a great fest. After
about thirty hours we left, being es-
corted by a mine-layer and a mine
sweeper. / asked a German garby II
that was the whole German navy, and
he looked surprised and did not know
/ vas kidding him, and said no. Then
/ said, $50 the English got all the rest,
did they?" and he handed me one in
the mouth with his bayonet hilt, so ]
quit kidding him.
We saw rows and rows of mines,
and the German sailors pointed out
what they said were III. NJ. SIS. Lion
and Nomad. but / do not know wheth-
er they were the same ones that were
in the Jutland battle or not. Finally
we landed at S~winemunde just as the
bells were ringing the old year out
and the new year in. We were a fine
bunch of blackbirds to hand the kaiser
for a New Years present. believe me

each of us got a cup of water for oui

New Years spree. Then we saw we
were in for it, and all hope gone, but
we were glad to be released from our
hole. because We had been prisoners
since December 10-three days on the
Moewe and eighteen on the Yarrow-
dale-and the coal was not any softer
than when we first sat on it.
So we began singing. "Pack up your
troubles In your old kit bag and smile.

ing? It's eve worth WHILE" and so
forth. They made us shut up, but not
before we asked ourselves if we were
downhearted, and everybody yelled

And that Is how we gave our re-
CARDS to Swinemunde.

CHAPTER XVIII.
"Pack Up Your Troubles"

PACK Up four tFoupics.
We arrived at Swinemunde. on the
east bank. and after we had had our
drink Of water and had been rousted
back into the bunkers. Badewitz went
across TO the west side In a launch
with Joyce and Hill and a guard of
sailors. They were to be shot the
next morning. with some others. at a
public shooting-fest. The rest of us
wrapped ourselves In Jumps of coal as
best we could and tried to sleep.
In the morning crowds of Germans
came aboard us and were turned
loose on the boxes In the hold. Ii
was a sight to see them rip of the
covers and gobble the salami and 9th

ners are not needed when there Is no
table, l guess. but If you had seen
them. you would say these Germans
did not even have trough manners. l

At first we were milling around try.
ing to get out from under the hatch
openings and the shower Of spit, but
some Limey officer sang out, Brit
ishers all Don't give way" and we
stood still and let them spit their
damned German lungs out before we
would move for them, and some Cor
nishmen began singing their song
about Trelawney. SO we made out
hat we did not know such a thing as
u German ever lived.
We got better acquainted with Ger
man splitting later on. and believe me,
they are great little spitters, not much
on distance or accuracy. but quick in
action and well supplied with ammu-
milton. Splitting on prisoners is the
favorite indoor and outdoor sport for
Germans, men and women alike.
When the show was over. they
rousted us up on deck and put us to
work throwing the salt pork and can
ned goods into two German mine-lay-
ers. While We were at 1t, a Danish
patrol boat came out and tied along
side US. and some of her officers came
aboard and saw us. They knew we
were prisoners-of-war. and they knew
that a vessel carrying prisoners-of-
war must not remain in neutral Wa
tiers for over twenty-four hours. but
they did not say anything about 1t.
That night two men named Barney
Hill and Joyce. the latter a gunner
from the Mount Temple. sneaked up
on deck and aft to the poop deck.
There vas a pair of wooden stairs
leading TO the top OF the poop deck.

they quit precticing and crowded
around us yelling: "'Rausl Zuruck !"
Finally we got to the top Of the
hill. and were halted near the bar
racks while an officer read the mar
tia law Of Germany to us. At least
we thought maybe that was 1t.
Finally they let US into the bar
racks, and the first thing we saw vas
a great pile of hay. That looked good
to us, and we made a rush and Owed
into II. But the Huns told us to take
the hay and throw II In the middle of
the road. They had to use force be-
fore we would do 1t. Finally we gave
In, however, and started to carry ii
out. Some Of the young boys were
crying, and / do not blame them
much.
But one of the boys tried to hide
some OF the hay behind a box and was
caught doing IL. and two sentrles
clouted him from one end of the bar
racks TO the other. His nose was
broken and his face mashed to a jelly.
But there was nothing We could do.
so we just wandered up and down the

decks on the Moewe. trying to keep
warm.
While this marathon was on we
heard a whistle blown very loudly.
and when we looked out we saw a
wagon piled up with old tin cans
Then we were told TO form single file,
walk out to the wagon and each get a
can for himself. Each man had to
take the first can he laid his hands
on. and many of US got rusty mes with
holes In them. So that about half an
hour later. when We received barley
coffee. and all we had to drink 1t from
was the cans. lots of the men had to
drink theirs almost In one gulp or lose
half OF II.
The barracks were very dirty and
smelled horribly. and the men were
still not even half clothed. We all

A charivari party of children at Cordova recently met with a hot reception from a bridegroom who evidently was not an Alas kan. When the youngsters al- peared with their noise making instruments the irate groom greeted them with cuffs, kicks and staps, chasing them into the tall uncut. It has been the GUS tom for years in Alaskan towns to charivari newly married couples who generally respond with a liberal treat to the child ren, but one man has been found who loves his money better than the goodwill of the kiddies.

LETTER FROM
 WESTON DALGITY
Mare Island, October l, 1918.

 Dear Mir. Pritchett:
 .. In the first place l will state that 1 am writing to you as a friend and that this letter is not for publication.
 received seven copies of the Sentinel in the last mail. and l went forthwith to my tent and arranged them in order of date and consumed the news for the past two months.
 This life is the real thing and the U. s. Marine Corps the finest branch of the service. The island and the climate make things ideal for training. We practically live out. of-doors as we rarely lower the sides of our tents. And the chow is exceptionally good. We have it in quantity and quality. Just gaze on Sundays dinner menu: Soup. roast chicken, mashed potatoes, fresh tomatoes, ice cream and cake, coffee.
 The life seems rather strenuous at the outset but we soon get used to it. We begin the day by hitting the decks at 6:30 and talk ing a brisk double time and set ting up exercises before chow. From then on we are kept nov ing until 4:30 when we are on our own. That means that we then have a chance to do our own washing, ironing, etc., which is almost a daily occurrence. The Marines have to live up to their rep as the dudes of the service. We have a great many shows. both movies and vaudeville, in the large auditorium here as we'll as athletic contests, so we have lots of chances for amusement. Then, too, we get week end lib- erty when we go to San Francisco or Oakland and take in the cities. Though we look forward with great eagerness to these pilgrim ages we always get weary of it and sigh with relief as we crawl into our hunks in our little old tents.
 Do you know what a Marine is? Gee, you are well-informed per son if you do, because the general public has a very vague idea of the U. s. M, c. The Marines don't wear sailor suits. They wear a forest green uniform much on the same order as the Army uniform. They also wear the campaign hat and on the hat is the insignia of the globe. anchor and eagle. That is the distin- gushing emblem of the corps and is a symbol that the Marines are ready to do duty on land, sea or air.
 The fellows here are a fine, loyal bunch of Americans who ask nothing more than a chance to fight. The training in the corps is very intensive and there fore is of shorter duration than in other branches so we hope to see action that much sooner.
 I wish that you had consulted me before making that eventful trip to Farm Island. Didn't you know that Mir. Gingrass never feels just right unless he perches up on good old Stikine sand bar. He is just like Capt. Knig in that respect.
 With best regards, I am
