anxious, The engines are ready with
highest steam pressure and soldiers are
detailed to assist the stokers. This is
rather an interesting experience and of
the kind one is not likely to forget.
3 p. m.
The destroyer has arrived and every-
one is smiling. She is a bird and cuts
through the water like a knife. It was
interesting to see the change of attitude
on board when she arrived. Later we
were joined by two other destroyers and
now, with all lights out, we are making
full speed into port.
Have reached Plymouth at 7 a, m.
We passed half, a dozen training ships
with soldiers in white linen suits train
ing. Among them were several small
middies. One of the training ships was
Nelson's flag ship, Victory. We also
sighted an English submarine steaming
along on the surface.
Plymouth is very picturesque and
pretty town with a fine harbor. It has
long protecting breakwaters and large
dry docks. Leaving Plymouth about
12 o'clock,we'arrived in London at 5 and
drove directly to the High Commission
er's office. The man in charge called
the roll and tomorrow we get our direc
tions from the War Office.
' May 21
We have a week in London to be out
fitted, and then we go to an officer's
training camp for a month's training,
either Aldershot or Limerick. I go to
Limerick.

Or. Macklio Writes
About
Nis Trip To England
Mrs. Macklin, of Goderich has had
some interesting letters from her husband
Dr. Macklin, who lett a few weeks ago
for England, where he will be engaged
professionally • at some of the base
hospitals, or in France. Extracts from
his letters under different dates, some of
which were written on board ship and
some after landing follow:
May IGth
I would not tell you this news if the
letter did not reach you after the clanger
is past. There are enough life -boats to
hold all those on board, roughly 1800.
The boats- are numbered and I am
assigned to No. 18. They are large
boats, each holding from 50 to 60.
When the whistle blows steadily for
four minutes everyone must rush to his
berth, seize his life -belt and put it on as
quickly as possible and line up before
his boat, when the roll is called. We
sleep with our life -belts under our
pillows. The large boats are lowered
just above reach of water and are kept
ready always, while others are in perfect
shape. During the night that we will
be put on shore all the soldiers will lie
on deck with life -belts on and we will
have to sleep on ours. All sentries on
duty wear life -belts. Our life -boats and
belts would be practically useless if we
met a submarine, as we would probably
be shot. Thesoldiers so liars s
sena
to be in
great spirits and seem to be having the
time of their lives, except the sick ones. �
