LETTER FROM J. B. McCOOL.
U. S. S., South Dakota,
Jan.11, 1918
Editor Independent,
Newport, Ark.
Dear Friends of Jackson County: I
have just received the Independent and
believe me, it takes me back to dear
old ackson county for a few hours.
I notice where several soldiers and
sailors have written home, so I will
explain my trip to South America.
First, when we got to Bahia, I had
to learn how to talk again, but very
little could I understand. From Ba
hia we sailed for Rio de Janeiro, Bra
zil, Montevideo, Uruguay, Buenos
Ayres, Argentina, from which place
we returned to Montevideo where we
stayed two of weeks and then sail
ed for “Dear old U. S. A.” We coaled
ship at St. Lucias, Island. The ne
groes carried fifteen hundred tons on
their heads by baskets. We woke up
the morning of December 24th at
New York City after a voyage of
twenty-eight days.
The sailors of the South Dakota
have carried Old Glory into four for
eign countries and long to carry her
to Germany,—and we are sure we will
get the Kaiser.
At this writing I am somewhere in
Canada. We always try to win a
home wherever we go and are always
lucky. Several of our sailors mar
ried in Montevideo; how do you know
that I did not? Best wishes to all.
J. B. McCOOL,
U. S. S. South Dakota,
Cr. Postmaster New York City.
