Company "E"
First Sergeant: How're you sailing this morning, Sgt.Finley?
Less Sergeant: .Fall speed ahead, Sgt.Hogwood. Wavy breakfast.
(And the boys enjoyed the beans too).
Privates Stephes and Eilenberger are expected back from Chilkat
Lake this week after a month’s furlough. We expect them to be load
ed down with bear skins and bring back lots of fresh meat for the
Company, as they are both good hunters.
^ ' Privates Cutler and Pottorff return from Pleasant Camp Saturday
also. They too went out after big game and are expected to bring
in the bacon.
Sgt.Loftin and Cpl. Wiseman spent the week end up the Katzehini
river and in the mountains. They went out after goat but the fog
on the mountains prevented them from bringing back any horns. Game
is plentiful up there, signs of bear, wolves and lynx are to be seen
everywhere. They report that a stray moose was heard but they
could’nt connect with it. Cpl.Cobbler and Pvt.Ackley are spending
a two week8s furlough in that vicinity, but hope whey don’t get
camght on the flats for then they are liable to have to go hungry
until the tide comes in.
Sgt.Lepple, Pfc.Hicks, and Pvts. Crockett and Dobos will take
a month’s furlough on the 11th. to be spent in the vicinity of Haine
hunting and prospecting for gold.
