FROM DUFFER BALLEW.
The following letter from Duffer I
Ballew will be of intefest to his many
Newport friends:
Naval Air Station
Mami, Fla.,
Sunday, the First.
Hello Mamma!
How are you all ? I am still feel
ing fine. I think I will get a furlough
real soon and will sure be a happy
bird if I do.
I had quite an experience since I
wrote you last. We had news of a
German submarine operating off the
coast and they sent out a seaplane to
scout around. I was lucky enough to
be sent along as a relief pilot. We
were about 90 miles from our station
and the lead pipe (gas) broke and
we were forced to land. Our wireless
was out of commission and we could
not signal for help. We made our
forced landing about 5 a. m. The sea
chaser) after us and a truck after
the plane and we reported back in
camp 0. K., after being about 48
hours out.
Flying is play compared to the
thrill you get when you are out of
sight of land and nothing in sight
and you just drifting around with
nothing to do except to sit still and
hope you are not swamped. Of
course we would have gotten out all
0. K., for we had life preservers, but
sure would have been a long wait,
and especially a wet one for us. A
little experience like that helps to
break the monotony when you are
doing nothing but flying around the
bay and loafing around the camp.
I have been recommended for a
commission and have been awarded
my “wings.” So I am now a full
fledged Naval Aviator. It will be 6
or 8 weeks before I get my commis
sion though, and believe my story,
you sure earn your commission when
you get one in the navy.
Tomorrow is Labor Day and we
will rate a holiday. A holiday means
a lot to us, as we only rate liberty
from 6 to 11:30 p. m. on Saturday,
and from 8 a. m. to 11:30 p. m. on
Sunday. However we worked today
(Sunday) from 4:30 a. m. to noon,
flying and overhauling planes. It is
the first Sunday we have worked
though.
How is the old “Home Town” and
all the people? Same good old town
I guess. I will feel like a bird out
of a cage when I am given my fur
lough. I didn’t appreciate a good
time before I enlisted, but I sure will
know what it means when I get out
of the service. I sure was lucky to
get in this branch of the service, for
it is absolutely the cream of it. Must
close. Love to all and best regards
to all of my friends. (
Your son,
Duffer Ballew.

was pretty rough and we had to bale
water from 5 a. m. to 5:30 p. m. to
keep afloat. At that time we sighted
a steamer bound north and wig
wagged to her. She sent a launch
out to us and they towed us to the
ship. She was going the opposite di
rection we wanted to go, as our sta
tion lay southwest, but she towed us
along and we sighted a southbound
steamer about 6:30 and' signalled to
her and she came over and took us
in tow. The sea was very rough by
now. The waves 10 and 15 feet high
and we had to go very slow. There
were three of us in the plane, but one
of the fellows was sure some seasick,
so that left us to do all the work of
guiding the plane and baling it out.
It sure was some thrill to see the
1 high waves come rolling in and us
< Pondering how long it would be be
fore we were swamped, especially to
an “inland sailor” like myself.
And the worst part of it was that we
carried 3 bombs each—one with 175
pounds T. N. T. inside. There sure
would have been an awful splash if
they had gone off; About 6 o’clock
-n-° next morning the plane sprung a
leak so we had to beach her at Boyn
ton, Fla. I sure felt a lot better when
we were on dry land once more. We
were about 40 miles from the station
so we wired them to send for our
plane. They sent an S. P. boat (sub
