MAKING ALASK \ TRIP
Billy Deacon, traveling passenger
•gen» for the C. P. R. arriv©# in
ixagway on the Princess this morn
>ig and spent the day making the
rip tp Bennett and back.
Mr, Peacpn was much impressed
'ith the pleasure afforded by the
no up the inside passage, and whi a
e 's a man who would not impress
ne with an over-amount of r<>"
aance, he went into a trance while
ryiDg to describe the grandeur of
tie scenery and the tria as a whole
s an ideal way of spending a va
stiotl. Hq said that he realized
hat at this season of the year the
rip was a little slow from a social
tandpoint, but he could well ini*
gine what it would be if taken dur
1? the height of the stason.
Billy said that from all the stor"
he had heard about Alaska he
lought that he might get into all
inds of trouble and gambling
aines^ but this he found to be quite
ie reverse, as he could not even
i d a poker game running.

England, August 26, 1918. !(
My dear Johnny:
Just a line to let you know that;
I came through the last big scrap ,'
alive, but pretty badly wounded'. On.'
the first day of the advance 1 did '
not get a scratch, on t&e second i
day I got part of the muscle of my <
right arm shot away, however, we i
wei» short of N. C. O., so I i
cariied ou and when within 100 ',
yards of our objective got hit by a
shell which gave me five wounds in
mv right leg, one in my left foot,
one in my left shoulder. There
ig some doubt as to saving my right
log, but 1 have a hunch it will come
out all right, I got hit on Aug 9.'
It was certainly a great fight and I
there wag no holding Johnny Ca-'
nuck Daci after we had once bro- j
JiBn the line, we had gone 11 miles
before 1 got mine. Some of the Ger
man regiments tried to put up a
scr^p but we went in with the bay
onet and that discouraged them.
Please remember me to Friend I
Wife, the Kiddis, Herman and any
other of the friends you may see.
I will write you more fully later on. | j
Address me, Care of Mrs. E. Ware,
Carlisle House, 18 Cambridge Gar
dens, Hastluge Sussex, England.
Will close nosv with love for you
all, from Ken.
