COMPANY F*S SCORE WITH AUTOMVTICE MADE WITH ONLY 10 HOURS PRELIMINARY:
A remarkable feature of the firing of Company F1 s first class with the
automatic rifle was that it was made with only ten hour's practice and pre
liminary firing. The class fired twnety shots slow fire at 5$0 and 600 yarle
ten shots at 300 yards, slow fire, and then twenty shots at each rapid fire
range with an additional complete string of 40 shots at 500 yards. This was
all the firing preliminary to firing record.

WHY NOT A YACHT CLUB?
With two private yachts from the States docking here in one week it is
only fitting that this post have a yacht club to welcome the visitors*
It has been suggested that there are plenty of yachtsmen hereabouts who
could organize.
Not to speak of such plutocrats as own gas boats, such as Steve Sheldor.
Frank Sorrels, and the Stidham boys, there are the proprietors of the mos
quito fleet - shouldn't we almost say the "no-see-*em fleet"?
There's Sgt • Loftin erstwhiles proprietor of the "Old Crow" and the
"Lone "Wold"; there's Sgt. Miller now skipper of the "Lone Wolf" (which
boasts an engine these days); th>.re is the "Derelict" owned by wright & Pate-1?
and the"Sea Bass'*; and the "Restless" (so-named because it has no seats) own...,
Sgt* Major Ross. In taut, every man of the line companies and the hospital
corps and the Q.M.C. can qualify as a yachtsman as he is a part owner in the
galleys belonging to those organizations.

PRAYER OF AN EQUITATOR:
I rode a little pony with kind and gentle reins,
I loved him, but he '**.1 only policed me for my pains;
I would not harm that nony or wish him any wees
But if there’s Hell for horses, I hope to Hell he goes*
( From The Pointer)
OVERSIGHT:
Last week we failed to credit the article entitled ’’Guardians of
the Night" to its author, Sgt. George T* i^asury* However we doubt if anyone
familiar with the Post failed to recognise the inimitable style of the gifted
author of ”PUr Salmon” and other sketches* Incidently we are sort of set ur.
about Sgt* Usury's ’’Pedro" yarn in the present issue* Its humorous picture
of post life and lingo is almost Kiplingesque*
