to look brighter for them now. 1--WE
have a better chance of being re-

that will be. In the meantime, we
are all in good health and doing
our duty as before. Some of us try
to sleep on deck, but seldom last
through the night, as we are driv-
en- in by rain" Whenever they see
men fresh from the states Roy and
his fellows always ask them the
latest news from the U. S. 1--WE
hardly ever hear anything on the
radio when we're out, so we are
hungry for news Roy is the son
