Dear Daliâ€"Well. dad, I suppose you have been wondering Why [ have been cabling for money. It was for my last leave, and I’m ham; new in a fine resting-placeâ€"thc clink. I can get all kinds of writing done now in my second heliday. ‘_ uULLU ALA “dvvv-d- â€"â€"v.â€"--v.wâ€"u v I got the money the morning mail and We left at noon for Belfast; ar- rived London at 5.45 and left from Euston on the Holy head boat train at 8.45 1).,m_. getting to Helyhead at 3 am. and direct to boat arriving at Kingstovsn at 5.30 a ..n1, and Duh- lin at 6..00 Beliexe me, the mail boat traVels, it is built something like a needle, long and narrow, and rolls something fierce. It was blamed good and rough going over, and of course we all got sick. A. AL“ V.â€" Dublin is a nice city: but the Seiu Feiners certainly made a wreck of Sackville street, which is the main' one. Everything is down flat, very much like Front at Toronto, from the fire. We couldn’t get a train for Belfast until 6 o’clock that even- ing, so we went out to look the city over. Soldiers aren't liked in this city, especiallyby the lower classes. The kids on the street would make faces, and fire stones at us, so you can imagine what it was like. We had numerous offers from different people to throw away our uniform and put up the SE. colors. It is the easiest thing in the world to “beat it” over here. We went all through the zoological gardens in the afternoon. This is a very beau- tiful place, but has suffered from the war slightly. in not being look- ed after. Took some snaps here, then went to our train after getting some addresses in Belfast from some people we met. I forgot to say that there were five fellows in our party. We got to Belfast at ;9.15 p.m.. and went to the hotel and got a room. and went. out to look around. ' Bellast is a fine city. very much like Rochester. NY, especially in the down- town section. The city hall is a fine place not quite as big as Toronto. but far more beautiful and finished in five different kinds of marble. We were shown all through it on \V ednesday morning. l‘he lights are all going here as bright as dam. and another funnv We met a gentleman. Mr. McKen- na. manager of the C.P.R. steamâ€"- ships, who took us out. along with' :four other friends of his. Mr. Mc- {Kenna had been all through Canada iworking with the C.P.R.. and knew lall the head fellows. % Two of the fellows had relations. : so we all trooped up to their homes ;and say. nothing was too good for 'us. Shown all over the city in a lhig car. taken to the theatre. part- .1es, teas. and lord knows what. The result was we all overstayed our leave three daysâ€"supposed to leave Thursday. to get back Friday noon. and didn’t leave until Sunday at 4 When we got hack to camp. we? were all put under open arrest, and' itried Tuesday morning and got fiscmked four days“ pay by Roya _wa.rrant, which is a complete loss. :ten days’ pay fine, which we don‘t get until we get our discharge. and seven days’ field punishment.

Iwi:~h Two had made the money last a Ewoek instead of \three days; we iwouldn‘t have got any more pun- 1ishment. Just to show you how things are run, a fellow in tho clink here was absent for twenty hours, and he got the same lines and ten days’ clink. Everything [around here is just about the some. vv â€"_v p.rn.. and arrived back Monday noon. W'hile we were there we put. up atone of the swellest Soldiers‘ and Sailors’ Clubs that a city could provide. It was a hotel, and the business men took it over and with the assistance of the ladies’ volun- tary aid, have an upâ€"to-date club. Bed, Sixpence a night, clean linen every morni g; meals. a shilling: three courses, billiard rooms and baths, and lunch counter, and all the liiesl-looking,r girls working there and waitinz,r on the soldiers. l As soon as we get out. of this lplace next Monday noon. we will be on draft, and leave about a week from that, on Sunday, most. likely. } Up in Belfast. there is all kinds of ‘food, and very cheap, too. but it 15 'getting worse down around here. We can‘t buy any eatables now unâ€" til after 5 o’clock. Yes, I got everything o.k., except the cigarettes, and I guess I can say good-by '-,to them. Somebody down in the Army Post Office is en- joying them. I suppose. Got the money order also in your letter of March 25th. It sure was a long time in coming. Never got it until about April 27. It just came in time to pull me out of the hole of my Canterbury trip. I had three bundles of washing out which I couldn‘t get. It sure is a tough “'21P. :V'l‘j'lé'Américan Navy, or part of If.

The explosion tore a large hole. but they said she would be tosen agaln in 18 days. You know Frlme mined the pntrancp and part of the Clyde. and all Emilie was stopped for, two weeks.
