HARRY MeALLIsTER RETURNS
HOME AND TELLS OF SEA LIFE

There was jolly partial family re-
union at the home of T. F. McAllister
Monday evening when their eldest
living son, Harry, returned from over
seas. We say partial reunion because
two of their sons are still in the ser
vice and the time of their coming is
still matter to be decided by the
future.
Harry left Delta. June II, 1917, go
ing direct to Goat Island. where he
spent six weeks getting initiated
From there he went to Mare Island
for further training, remaining about
two weeks. Here he went on board
the S. S. Illinois and was rated as fire
man of the second class, spending six
weeks.
About Oct. 18th he went to Charles
town, S. c. and after a short time was
placed on the S. S. Kentucky. Here
he attained his rating as Water Tend
er of the Engineers force, which is
equivalent to first class petty officer
In June 1918, he left for his first
trip over the bounding waves, on the
transport Harrisburg. The vessel was
manned by crew of 500 huskies and
carried 1900 soldiers to the place
where they could do the most good
for the home land. In the time inter
vening between June, 1918 and Octo-
Der, 1918, Harry made four trips ocross
the sea. He wears a gold (say we
hunted the dictionary from cover to
cover for that darned word and didn't
find it either but anyway. the import
ant part is that it signifies that he
made three trips thru the war zone
1t is shaped like a compass on the
Masonic emblem and is worn on the
left sleeve where the sailor can look
at it and pet it whenever he wants to.
and We wouldn't blame him any for
that, either
When the armistice was signed he
was four days out of Brest on his
way to America, and the message
was conveyed to the Harrisburg by
wireless. The ship docked at Hoboken
for repairs and he has remained there
until his discharge aout two weeks
ago. He brought a party of seven to
Great Lakes. Illinois, where he left
them
Fay Tinker from Delta was one of
the crew. being a fireman of the First
class, and Harry says he was the only
Delta boy besides himself on the Har-
fisburg.
On the last trip General Buck was
on board. coming home on a recruit
ing mission, which was probably can
celled by the subsequent develop
ments.
Harry SAYS he enjoyed every bit of
the sea life, but after all there is no
place that half compares with home.
He said the boys strained their eyes
each trip for the first glimpse of the
Statue of Liberty and gave great
shouts when she appeared
