Ship Meets Accident at Sea--Jasper
Boy Aboard.

July ~, A9l9
Dear Father and Mother: We
should have been in Colon, Panama,
yesterday but we had an accident
in the engine room and we are dis
abled and being towed into port.
We will get there tomorrow, pos.
sibly, travelling five miles an hour
at the end of steel cable attached
to big collier, the U. S. S. Orion.
The Orion is the ship that chased
the German U boat out of Ponta
Delgada when the U boat was

ing cold canned stuff for the galley
is also out of commission, and we
are all dirty as the only fresh wat
er we can have is for drinking only.
My clothes are all rusty and greasy
from handling the tow lines and
cable. We broke a big e.inch
hemp line and o.inch steel cable
before we finally got one TO hold,
and you can imagine that it was
quite a job handling all that liue
by hand. There was no steam for
the winches, you see.
Everything is all right now and
we will be o. k. when we get to
Colon. We will get the boiler 60
ing again this afternoon and nse it
for auxiliary purposes eight, heat,
water, ice machine, radio. etc, so
everything will be normal then ex
cept for being towed instead of
under our own power. There is
no telling how long we will be in
Panama. hope they tow US right
on around to Mare Island, CAL,
but probably they will repair US
at Panama and let US proceed un-
der our own power.
Everything is running smoothly
