"E" COtAND HDQTRS CO. had better look to their laurels,
as the "F" Company "Orphans" now have a homeland hope soon
to get even with their rival organizations by showing them
up on the baseball diamond#
WHEN "F" CO. draws clothing several of them men are think
ing of putting in for extra sized hats since they have been pro
moted to Acting Coporals* At least,so say some of the "Bucks"#
THEY SAY that Pvt.Roeske wore two hats on the 23rd»
S0MB of the men in the company think it would be a good idea
to organize an "Enlisted Mens* Club" Perhaps the Chaplain would
help by calling a meeting of all those interested#
WE UNDERSTAND that Pvt.Butler is advertising his services as
"Boxing Instructor" for the Post# He also wants a few sparring
partners# We have a licensed undertaker in the Company,so don't
be backward about coming forward#
THERE SEEMS to be quite a few PEEKNUCKLE sharps in the Co.at
the present time* They must find a kick in the game, perhaps, tho*, -
they play it for the exercise#
HOW ABOUT a Field Meet before the snow flies,-say-Labor Day!
"F" Company would like a chance to get back at some of the other '
GOODE oompanies/# ,
Q.M.C* DET. NOTES
PVT* WARD’S "Galloping Goose" gas boat made a hasty night trip
to Skagway last evening#The waves were perilously highland the boat
came near being swamped several times# One of the said waves hit
Pvt• Ward, Skipper, full in the face, at which Fagnant,the guest of
honor on the trip,asked sympathetically,**D’je get wet, Ward! ""Wnno
nnnot much" chattered Wardie.Two miles from Skag the Ford engine
gave a few sputters and died*The Skipper peeked into the gas tank
and reported no more juice#So.rigging up a piece of canvas,with the
aid of the wind,they crawled into Skagway about 2 hours late# They
waked the gas man of Skag from sleep,and secured 10 gallons of the
stuff.lt was too rough on the water to try the return trip,so they
bunked down in the SS.Co.Waiting Room,Fagnant,being used to sleepiig
on park benches,didn’t mind,but Ward passed a tough night.At day
light, on attempting to pour the precious juice into the tank,they
overflowed the bhame thing after pouring in about 2 qts.of the gas#
And then they found it was spark trouble#’S flatter.Ward,-getting
short-sighted!
Jones wants to know WY’NELL we don’t holler "Attention" when
a Nofficer is standing close by.Never mind,Jonesie,we’ll get a meg
aphone next time.Were you embarrassed, Jones!
