Another letter dated November 4,
follows: .r ~
Dear Father:-We are staying here
longer than we expected to but we
will probably sail some time today or
tonight for Tenerife. / have been
ashore twice but / don't suppose. I
will 60 any more unless we come
back this way. There is rumor now
that we will go to AKIN on the West
coast of Africa and load for Pensa-
cola, Florida, but that will no doubt
be changed before we get to the
coast. I think that we will 60 back
to Hamburg. Walden and I have just
finished making a ladder and it was
quite job as neither of US are very
expert at the process. We intend to
get as much experience as possible
in seamanship so that when we get
our license and there should be no
jobs we can go as seamen. Jobs are
still scarce in the United States, I
understand.
l am expecting some mail whfn
we get down to the Canaries. We
have been able to get some English
and American papers here but they
are all European editions and do
not contain much of interest to us. 1
would certainly like to get some pa
perssfrom home because out here
you are completely out of touch with
any thing that happens back there.
We will probably spend Christmas
on the African coast, possibly in
Loanda, Portuguese Colony of West
Africa. I will write you again from
Tenerife. Your son,
Walker.

WALKER CARWILE WRITES
FROM LISBON, PORTUGAL
Says Portuguese Have Just Had An
nual Revolution-On Way To
Canaries or Africa.

Frank !Carwile of Antreville has
Just received the following letters
from his son, Walker Carwile, an
Erskine graduate who is seeing much
of the world from the decks of a
merchant ship. The first letter is dat
ed at Lisbon, Portugal, October 81,
and is as follows:
Dear Father-Put in here this
morning for repairs. The Portuguese
have been enjoying their annual Rev.
olution but the festivities ended a
day before we got here. The casual
ties are five dead and probably some
billion or so milreis (S1.08) stolen.
There are five war vessels at anchor,
mostly French and English, think.
l have not been ashore here but
aim to do so tomorrow as we will be
here three or four days, understand.
Lisbon, viewed from a distance, is
one of the most beautiful cities |
have seen but when seen at closer
range it is very dirty, I am told. The
country hereabouts is hilly and COW
cred with vineyards. Many of the
hills are surrounded by castles. The
houses have various colored roofs,
red, white and green seeming most
popular. They are almost all built
of stone. The country is wretchedly
poor and the money in constant
state of fuctuation.
was ashore for little while in
Bordeaux but didn't get to see much
of the city. Our wireless operator left
us in Bordeaux and our supercargo
in Hamburg. The wireless operator
was from North Carolina and the
supercargo from Union, S. c. His
name was W. ]. Sarratt. Probably
you have heard of the family. Both
Of them were fine fellows and I hated
very much to see them leave because
there are very few Americans and
still fewer Americans from the South
on American ships. 49,.
We 60 from here to Tenerife,
Canary Islands, and from there to
Dakar, French, Senegal (Africa.)
Will probably be back in the
States sometime next April. Must
quit the African run on account Of
fever. Had severe attack of it in
Hamburg. I think I will try the Far
East next. Is Julian stationed per-
manently at Charleston? would, like
to settle in Charleston and will do
so if I can find a suitable run out of
there. New York does not suit me at
all. I~want to work down in the, Unit
ed States. Your son, = .
