Kenneth Marr returned with The honors of War" and is at San Diego at presen.. Lucky Peterson is running winches on the water front. Bud Welch, Geo Adams and several others

 One of the Dessum boys CBilD died
 the other day. Ira Robertson former fly of the Mae Roberts theatrical com- pany. is playing in Oakland in bur- lesque show Met Doc Kemp and wife: Year eve when we were taking in the sights. (Some conglomeration of sights and sounds). Am glad in al way. that I came out but guess that the first boat will see me again. There is no place like Nome after all. Heard from Al Orland the other day. He is in Seattle recovering from an opera tions and says he is fit for three Squares" day. He will surely ap- preciate it after so long. He told me Joe Sliscovich died in hospital there. Conditions out here are very unstable and it is hard to grasp the real under current of things. The High Cost of Living appears to be the chief griev- ance and is doubtless a real one. The shipbuilders. and especially firms like the Bethlehem Steel Co.,. are no doubt trying the freeze out game, as they are well equipped to handle the shipbuild- ing situation-if not in the Y. s. they gan fall back on China and Japan and build for next to nothing (from a lal or standpoint They already have in- terests there. It costs $40 more per ton to build ships here than in Great Britain. so you can imagine what they can do in China and Japan. Rumor has it they are chiefly responsible for Aie agitations in the various unions and numbers of men (Ex- x-employees of
 th-frs) are decidely vitriolic in den-

 Ramsay's brother is going to marry
 Princess Pat of Connaught. Well
 he proved himself a good man in the
 navy and she is about the only real democrat of the bunch amongst the Royalty Squad. Don't know wheth- CT I will have the nerve to tackle the Vic again. She sure was trap last fall and the filthiest boat I ever trav- 'iiNh cii. ,''t" liothAh6 HuASC oo De" in my several years at sea. Don't know
 who was to blame but it's really won- der any of us made Seattle in good
 health, or with any money in our poe kets. The Bloomfield family and self
 went to Vallejo the other day and vis- ited Mare Island. Some busy there, About seven thousand employed. Alice Peterson is "yeomanette" there. Wis., ited her uncle and aunt and dined sumptuously. She has grown almost beyond recognition. It makes me wish I had that recipe so that I could get out of the ''runt" class. Haven't seen or heard of Russ Downig since left Seattle. I forgot to mention that Doc
 Kemp is running some kind of a place
 in Stockton Beebe was ir Frisco but returned to SeattleI Heard Harry Ray
 ;s at the Scandia works. Sharkey has not made up his mind what to do and
 George Nvho worked f..' Alilo) is in
 the shipyAz.' here. Duffy O'Ccnnor is las fat as Hnt:er. Has sev-Iai propo-
 si,ions ar d is talking of goi,' in over the ice. Alec Smith and Louis Levy
 left some time ago (not togethe!r). The old sourdough's are all coming back. Trust Nome has resumed its normal healthy condition and things look brighter. Remember me to all old
