W. B. Doyle, foremerly resident of

Your correspondent recently receiv
ed a letter from James B. McCool,
who is a member of the crew of the
battleship, South Dakota. The letter
was headed “Somewhere on the At
-N ' 1 ■■ -. .—
antic” and had passed through the
lands of censors who found no fault
to the contents. Jim likes the ex
citement which is had these days on
the Atlantic. Just befone he left the
American shores some time ago he
expected that his ship would be used
as a convoy for the transports which
are carrying Uncle Sam’s boys to
France and it is generally supposed
by his friends that his ship is now
engaged in that service. The most
interesting feature of the letter is
the description by rounds of a boxing
contest held on board the vessel for
the entertainment of the sailors. The
sport was the source of much pleasure
to the boys on the ship inasmuch as
their privileges are very limited dur
ing these very strenuous times. Let
ters addressed to him at New York,
care of the battleship, South Dakota,
will eventually reach him and he will
be much pleased to hear from any
me who might think enough of him to
write to him.
