HOTES FROM COMPAHY "3".
Corporal kosher aid Privates Bobos and Crockett returned from
furlough last week spent in the vicenity of Haines.
The company returned from their hunting trip on Freswater Bay
and Tcnakee Inlet last Tuesday evening. The return trip to the
post was not a bit pleasant caused by the strong winds and moun
tainous waves on Lynn Canal; in fact it is believed that some of
the men had rather walked back instead of trying to ride the
good ship Fornance while she was trying out all the bucking antics
of a western cow pony and a few prayed she would sink and put
then out of their misery and the only man who seemed .happy was
the Less Sergeant as he was ahead one whole day’s rations.
Heavy Artillery Corporal Odum did’nt get his bull moose he went
after, for as soon as he discovered there was no moose around
there he elected himself foreman of the wood and fire detail and
kept the campfires burning while everybody were in the hills.
Privates Preston and Kennedy responded nobly to the ’’Call of
The iVild” and left the camp the first day and did not return for
quite a while, and as they had no matches nor food, and were soak
ing wet all the while, we enjoy hearing them tell what a good
time they had, for we did’nt believe it, \p/e Weren’t worried over
"Czapk” in the least for we knew he would find a hollow tree and
crawl in for the night.
The company Drought in five big bucks although weather condi
tions were very unfavorable for hunting. Private Dow gel had the
honor of bringing down the first one. Corporal Holmer also got
one the first day; but Frivate Elbert wins first prize for the
lggest one, which three men two days to brijgg into camp.
Several men camped out over night and those who were lucky
enough to kill a grouse or ptarmigan were well fixed for the eats
or the night. Corporals Holmer and Wiseman subsisted on roasted
