I guess, Will, I'll tell you about our tripes We left Quebec,at 5 o clock, p.m. We had a grand escort there and we were two daye ba the River St, Lawrende. It was fine until we got out into the ocean where it was a little rough and made the boys turn sick. It was a fright to see some of them, one would think they were going to die. It was raining all day and cold. The old ship did tack around and first one side would dio into the water and then the other and we were all wet to the skin. I was a little dizzy 'but not sett Erick and never raissee a meal, That is what mighty few of them can say. I do not think there_ were neore than, 50 that were not sick in our Company'. You can just imagine what a sight present. ee itself to aty one looking. on. We lost ode poor fellow and had to reive him a watery grave on the 8rd Nov. He was the first to go and many of them wished they were safely back home. They have not the good time they thoughb they were going to have. I think tlie3r go.vens tbe worst boat the Anita Line had. She was an old cattle bora. We are crowded in like. cattle. Thereis no accommodation. The food is rrretty bard but we might get worse before vee get back and there's no use finding fault with it for they would not. do anything to make it better. We get bread, butter and coffee for breakfast, for dinner we get potatoes, meat and skilley and for supper we get bread and tea and some. times a. laths jam, but mighty little. That is what am living on now but I am growing fat upon it. We get lots of tobacco to use. Well our trip la getting short. We have been on the water 22 days to -day. . We. only saw land once since we lore Quebec and that Was Cape Verde Islands on Sunday, 12tir December. xt was a lovely sight to see. We have sighted a few Alps on our voyage. We stopped once and gave our mail. It wes going to Eng- land from Cape Town. It left there 2 days after we left Quebec so we did not ;ea any more news of the War than we knew. We have been all thinking how itis coming on. We crossed the equator on the 17th of November at 11.85 a. m, It was not very warm and not nearly eo warm as I thought it would he 'We are having fine weather. We couiadispense with oar underwear and run around in our bare feet with sleeves rolled up. We sleeb on deck with a blanket over us.
