SIDNEY GRIGG HAS
A CLOSE CALL
The sinking of the Tuscan hi lulled
to destroy the nerve of Sidney H.
Grigg, son of Mrs. N. E. Grieg, of j
54 North Park avenue, who was on
board it at the time, for all he says
regarding that world famous event
in the first letter he has since written
his mother, is that "the transport we
wehe on was torpedoed,” that the
troops were landed in Ireland by
torpedo boat destroyers and that it
was a “thrilling experience.”
Grigg is a member of Company D.
20th Engineers, and is well known
in Helena and Lewis and Clark
county where he has many friends.
It is probable that the censorship
rules forbid his giving a description
of the sinking of the Tuscania. He
is now enjoying the sights m Ire
land and says that he is in the best
of health. The letter follows:
“I am in a small port in Ireland.
Guess you will be surprised to hear
from me in Ireland, and to tell you
the truth, you are no more surprised
than I am myself, however.
“The transport we were on was.
torpedoed off the cosast of Ireland,
and the troops were landed in Ire
land by torpedo boat destroyers.
There were not many lost in com
parison to the number on board. We
don’t know exactly yet how many
were lost, but it is believed that there
were not over 150, I cannot give
you any details, and am writing to
let you know that I am all right and
in perfect health.
“The people here are treating us
like kings. We are getting plenty
to eat, good places to sleep, and
nothing is too good for us. 0^
course, we are rather shy on clothes,
the ones we stood in being the only
ones we could save. I suppose you
have read in the papers of the dis
aster before this.
“This is surely a beautiful coun
try, with quaint little towns as well
as some very nice cities. Wish I
could send you some of the souven
irs I have had a chance to collect
just in this short time. This has"
been a wonderful and thirlling ex
perience.”
The young man enlisted in the
20th Engineers last November. He
was at one time in the national
forest service. The Grigg home is
at Stearns, but the soldier’s mother
is spending the winter in Helena.
The men of Camp 21 (section
gang) under Foreman Lewis Lee, arc
busy putting in a protetcive cribbing
on the north side of bridge No. 11.
The cribbing being put in is intended/
to prevent bank erosion and to curb
the possible encroachments of the
river at this point.
Great quantities of cordwood cut
in length of 44 inches, for the use
of the locomotives which will be en
gaged in construction work, is being
brought to town for out the line ami ^
stacked up near the roundhouse in a
handy position. The flat cars that art
being used to transport the fuel to
town are being loaded up daily by
the men of Camp 16. The im
mediate neighborhood of the round
house if now a scene of much activity.
The Roland stage will get away
for Fairbanks tonight about mid
light, carrying passengers and mail,
rhe Roland freight rig is scheduled
;o leave Fairbanks for Nenana at the
iame time. ?
