OUR BOYS AT BERMUDAS. Major and Mrs. H. W. Dudley, Newcastle Newcastle are in ? receipt of the following letter from their son, Lieut.LynnDudley,of Sept. 15, at Hamilton, Bermuda, whether he and several Bowmanville boys were sent from Valcartier to do garrison work: "We arrived here at daylight yesterday at the navy dockyard, but did not come over to Hamilton until four o'clock in the afternoon. A ferry brought us over from the dockyard. We left Quebec -at three o'clock Sunday, and arrived at Halifax, Wednesday, at 9 a m and left there Friday noon. We had a x pleasant- trip all the way and the Niobe escorted us right into the harbor. There were 759 E* C. R. men joined us at Halifax so we had a full loat from there. A few of the boys were sick between Quebec and Halifax, ~ but from there on all were well. I was not sick ai : all but one morning I felt a little dizzy but did not feed the fish. "All the boys are well and very glad they came here. Yesterday in walking from the dock to the barracks we all nearly nearly roasted, but today is much cooler, This is the finest country we have ever seen. All the houses are painted white and the roof of every house is white. The scenery is fine as everything is so green and flowers grow along every road and in every field. The greater part of the population are negros and we have a negro regiment of artillery at the school. The school is very beautiful with flowers and palm trees al around. It is ten times as large as Stanley Stanley Barracks and much cleaner. Their roads are all paved and the vehicles all carry lights at night and travel on the same side of the road as they do in England. England. The boys who have been in England England say it is much like that country. They use English' money, but Canadian money goes just the same. If you pass them a bill they will give you the change in English money unless you ask for Canadian. Canadian. Everything seems to be quite cheap. You can buy first-class cigars at three cents. October and November are claimed to be the coldest months; after that it £ ets warmer again. The people are very friendly and will do anything tor us fellows. The boys have some of the coons up in our rooms now boxing and it is as good as a picnic to see them and hear them talk. They are all pure bred negroes and black as the ace of spades. We have two bands with us and so we have lots of music. The people nearly went wild when we got off the boat with the band playing. " 1 he British regiment that was here left yesterday just after we landed. There are no automobiles or trains here as the law will not allow cars and the island is too small for trains. It is only nineteen miles square, and has a very irregular irregular coast line. This place is well fortified fortified and mines are sunk all around. The dry-dock is a fine one and said to be one of the largest in the world. "Twenty-five of us sleep in one large room and are very comfortable. There are large fields of bananas and we get all we want to eat by picking them. We are go ; t to be issued with light uniforms for if we had to wear thèse we would melt The people wear white clothes all the, year round, so they laughed at us coming here with our heavy uniforms. --Independent. --Independent.
