MONTAUK POINT, L.I.

At the request of the New York Relief Committee, the executive committee
of the Red Cross appointed Mr. Howard Townsend as the field agent at
Montauk Point, Long Island, under whose supervision the work of the Red
Cross at this important station was admirably conducted. Mr. Townsend in
his report says:

The Red Cross appeared on the ground on Sunday, August 7, 1898, and its
representative remained there permanently after August 10. The first,
and in some respects the most important work, was the delivery of a
daily supply of pure water to the government officials at the camp. For
the first ten days the most serious problem was how to obtain good
water, and until the great well was dug, the hospitals were supplied by
the Red Cross. Ten thousand gallons of Hygeia water were delivered at
the camp, and four tank cars brought daily from Jamaica sufficient
spring water to prevent a water famine.

There was important work to be done also in connection with the general
hospital, furnishing to it such supplies as were rendered necessary by
the hurry and confusion of the first two weeks of the camp's existence.
Cots, clothing, bed-clothing, household appliances and cooking utensils,
refrigerators and other articles, in short a large part of
willing hands 
   and loving hearts, have partake in the aura of the war, and the 
   sorrows of personal loss has been mitigated by pride of slipstream, and 
   the love of a country that has hold such soldier and sailors as
