ALASKAN IMS
OF LIFE AT SEA
Robert Cate Relates HU Experience
In the Transport Service On
the Atlantic.
! Robert Case, who had been em
ployed by the Alaskan Engineering
commission some time ago at Camp
16 and who afterwards worked as
fireman on the steamer Seattle No.
3, is now employed in the transport
service and has made a few trips
across the pond.
The following letter, detailing his
experences wq^ received by Andy
Hoey on the mail arriving yesterday:
U. S. S. Meranke July 1, 1918
i “Friend Andy:
“Well, old timer, I guess Old
i Willie’s diving boats are not so
slick as they think they are, for one
of them came up a few hundred
yards from us on the way back and
an Italian transport fired four times
at it and hit it twice, but outside
of that the trip was quite unevent
ful. There was a little excitement
for a few seconds.
i
We had a good quiet trip over,
and a smooth sea all the way, and
laid there for over three weeks and
had liberty every day. They sell
wine to men, ‘including me,’ over
! there, but I am on my good be
, havior.
i “Was seaman, first class, going
over, but now I am a ship's quarter
master, and was at the wheel going
and coming; this is navy rating,
j “I am sure glad I came Outside
last fall and enlisted, for this is a
fine experience and something a
man will never forget.
“France is some different from
; Alaska, for it was warm over there.
We wore our white clothes all the
time; but it is kind of dead, for
you never see any young fellows,
for they are all at the front; no
slackers in that country, and no
eats to speak of, and no amuse
ments.
“The Americans are sure a happy
bunch and they are all raving until
they get orders to leave for the
front, then they are happy. The
Americans are going to make a
name for themselves,
j “I suppose a lot of the same old
bunch are still there, playing freeze
out; I wish I could walk in for a
night myself.
I “Well, Andy, will close with best
wishes to all my friends,
i “Yours,
: “CASEY.”

WORK ON D LINE
IS MOVING FAST
TOWARD LIGNITE
Addition* Have Been Made to the
Strength of the Steel and
Ballasting Gangs.
Additional men to strengthen the
force engaged in the work of track
laying, surfacing and ballasting on
the new D line have been sent out
and much progress has been made
with the work of railroad building.
Night and day shifts are still work
ing and the track is being steadily
pushed forward.
When the day shifts returned to
camp after their labors yesterday
evening, about 26,000 feet of track
had been laid- The new line is now
railed for approximately two mi^es
beyond Fish creek and there re
mains about two miles more of
track to be laid before the north
bank of Julius creek is reached.
The locomotives 270 and 272,
which had recently been very thor
oughly overhauled under the super
vision of William Muir, master me
chanic, and the new- repair parts
fitted on, replacing the parts put
on as a temporary measure after the
fire at the roundhouse, are said to
be now as good as new and working
at full capacity daily, hauling great
loads of gravel from the great
gravel bank near old Bailey station.
The Bucyrus dragline excavator,
which had also been thoroughly
overhauled when the big locomotives
were laid off for the same purpose,
is getting out nearly 1000 yards of
gravel per shift. She is also work
ing a night and day shift.
The new D line is a scene of vast
activity now' and a train is “on line”
all the time.
