Dor and anchored at about IL o'clock.
Brest is a beautiful harbor. One can
see old stumbs of castles around the
shore. The entrance is much the
same as San Francisco harbor. I had
two hours liberty in Brest. 1t is
about three centuries behind the rest
of the civilized world 1t rains over
there about every Is minutes. The
streets are narrow and muddy. They
have one little dinky street car line.
The poorer classes wear wooden shoes
and they sound like horses on the
pavement The main crowd on the
streets are soldiers and sailors, most
ly American. / didn't have a chance
to buy anything. If we make another
trip l will get a bunch of souvenirs
for you people We started coaling
on the 31st of December and on ac-
count of the inconvenient system of
coaling lighters we coaled until noon,
January 2. We had soldiers helping
US. Some of them had been on the
firing line and believe me they had
some tales to tell us. We took on a
thousand soldiers in the afternoon and
got underway headed for the U. S. A. |

We had it pretty rough for the first
four days and believe me we sure had
a mess of sick men on board. We
came back by southern route. We
passed through the Azore Islands and
sighted one of them about 20 miles
away and it looked like Moscow noun
tain.
We have been having fine warm
weather for the last week. 1t has just
been like spring and the sea has been
as level as a floor. Then is when the
soldiers enjoyed it. 1t began to
roughen up a little last night. Now
it is raining and quite bit of wind,
but still nice and warm.
Believe me the soldiers are GER
tainly a happy bunch to be getting
home and one can't blame them eth
er.
With love to all,

P. S.-We arrived here in Newport

Soldiers are showing off this after
noon. They are happy bunch. We
will leave here for Brest about the
